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.

Culture 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.
