The Organisation

Rembrandt Living is a boutique not-for-profit organisation that has been providing Residential and Support at Home Services for over 30 years. We work in partnership with our Residents and Clients to improve their health, lifestyle and well-being and we strive to do this well.

At the heart of the Rembrandt difference is the Dutch word “Gezellig”, a feeling that home is a warm, welcoming place where people are friendly, respectful, and almost like family. It currently operates a single property residential aged care facility with approximately 90 beds and a support at home care business serving around 1,150 clients, with this number steadily increasing.
