One of the newest additions to the Thompson Health Care stable of quality homes, The Abbey is a 78-bed nursing home in the Southern Highlands town of Mittagong.

Perched on the crest of a hill overlooking lush pastures, residents of this gracious old building wake to the sounds of warbling birds and grazing cows rather than traffic and trains.

The Abbey has been recently upgraded by Thompson Health Care to offer improved accommodation and additional services, as well as take advantage of the famed Southern Highlands climate and soil to develop beautiful gardens. It is fertile country, not only for cold climate parks and gardens, but also for amateur theatricals, galleries, country markets and agricultural shows.

The Abbey's entrance features a magnificent life-size bronze of St Frances of Assisi, surrounded by his beautiful animals. Cast in Italy, it is one of only 12 in the world, and the only one not located in church grounds.

The Abbey provides a standard of accommodation and program of activities that enables our residents to continue to enjoy the Southern Highlands lifestyle.
