Genista by Aequra, Mediterranean cultural care in Greystanes
Mediterranean cultural care. Accredited 84-bed home with registered nurses on duty 24 hours a day.
Welcome to Genista
Specialising in care for diverse needs, Genista provides culturally driven care for its residents. Located in Greystanes in Sydney's south-west, our residence has a longstanding connection to the Maltese community and is supported by a multilingual team who speak Maltese along with English.
Creating a culture of care is fundamental to our way of operating at Genista. Through our many years of involvement within the aged care sector, we know how important food and cultural familiarity are to residents. That is why we offer Maltese meal options and create an environment where residents can communicate comfortably and maintain their cultural identity, while receiving high-quality care and support.
About the residence
Our commitment
Our commitment is to ensure every resident feels connected, respected and at home through meaningful cultural, social and spiritual experiences.
Enquire todayCulture and community
Many of our activities are led by staff members with a Maltese background, so residents can engage in their preferred language. We have Maltese-speaking allied health professionals, including dietitians, speech pathologists, audiologists and podiatrists.
The Maltese culture means a lot to our residents. Our menus include authentic Maltese dishes, freshly prepared to suit residents' tastes and their individual dietary needs.
Our philosophy of care
We strive to create a warm, familiar atmosphere where language, food, customs and care are thoughtfully tailored to each individual's cultural identity, for comfort, dignity and a true sense of belonging every day.
Activities range from relaxing in our roomy recreation areas to lunch at the local golf club, coffee at the RSL or outdoor time at Merrylands Central Gardens.

The kindness, respect & genuine concern demonstrated every day creates a welcoming & supportive environment where residents feel valued, safe & cared for. Thank you for making this facility not just a place to live but a place to call home.
I can always rely on Penny, she's quick at solving issues at Genista. Always willing to help out with challenges that arise. She's patient explaining the finer details. I have peace of mind having Penny on my side.
It's lovely living here with my husband and sister in law also. My husband and I share a room together. The staff take wonderful care of us, always listen to our needs, and the facility is very well run and supportive of my family.
It’s an amazing place to live, the staff are so good to us, the activities are always fun, and I especially love going out on the bus.
I think it’s fantastic here. the staff and management are very helpful, caring, and always go out of their way to make things easier for me.
I really like the staff here, they are all friendly, have a great sense of humour, and know how to have a laugh, which makes the days brighter. Even when I'm a bit cheeky, they still show kindness and make me feel loved.
