“I moved to El Alamein Village 26 years ago with my late husband. I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy living here at first, but this is my home and I love it here. I especially love the peace and quiet and it’s a safe environment where I can access the support and care I need. I attend many activities - we have regular morning teas, lunches, and bus outings to local attractions. Many of us are very social and I really enjoy the sense of community and have made so many wonderful friends. I recommend the village to anyone who wants a safe, secure community where you can enjoy yourself and stay active.”. - Mrs E. Lund

From our Residents...

Lieutenant General Sir Leslie James Morshead KCB, KBE, CMG, DSO, ED (1889-1959) was an Australian soldier, teacher, businessman, and farmer, with a distinguished military

career that spanned both world wars. In WWI he landed at ANZAC Beach at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915 and his battalion made the farthest advance of any Australian unit that day. Later, he led on the Western Front at Messines, Passchendaele, Villers-Bretonneux and Amiens. Most notably, during WWII he commanded the Australian and British troops at the Siege of Tobruk in 1941 and the Second Battle of Al Elamein in 1942, achieving decisive victories over Rommell’s Afrika Korps.

Our History RSL LifeCare is a charitable organisation that was formed in 1911 to provide care and service to war veterans. Services were initially provided at Bare Island, Botany Bay, until moving to Narrabeen in 1939. From small beginnings providing care and service to just a handful of war veterans, the organisation has grown to be one of the largest senior living services in Australia.

Caring for 7,000 people across Independent Living, Community Care, Assisted Living, Dementia and Nursing Home, we have developed an extensive range of services that fosters independence and provides social, clinical, emotional and spiritual support.

Despite our growth and the passage of time, RSL LifeCare remains true to its original aim and mission – to provide a home of peace and security to senior Australians.
