The Benevolent Society provides residential care at Sans Souci in Sydney for older people who are no longer able to stay living at home.
The Society provides friendly and respectful care in an environment that is as home-like as possible. Each resident’s care is tailored to his or her particular needs, and residents are assisted to maintain their links with family, friends and the community. Staff regularly undergo regular specialised training and have extensive experience in caring for people with dementia.
The Society's aged care hostel in Sans Souci caters for people who need low level care, that is help with daily living but not intensive nursing care.
It is fully accredited by the Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency.

The future
The Benevolent Society has recently decided that it could best serve the community by concentrating on supporting older people in their own homes, rather than on running nursing homes and hostels. The Society is in discussions about the possible transfer of its residential aged care facilties to other suitable aged care organisations. The Society's nursing home at Phillip Bay and hostel at Allambie closed in February 2009. Its residential facilities at Bexley transferred to Scalabrini Village Ltd in July 2009.
