Tea-cup Cottage – Experts in Transitions

Tea-cup Cottage’s Transitional Care Program provides short-term, clinically supported accommodation for people who need additional time, rehabilitation and support before safely returning home, or into long-term community care.

We offer a calm, comfortable, home-like environment where people can recover at their own pace, rebuild confidence and regain independence, with an experienced clinical team providing personalised care every step of the way.

Whether recovering from illness, injury or surgery, our focus is on providing a smoother transition back into everyday life.

About Tea-cup Cottage

Partnering with Families, Prioritising People

Our unwavering commitment to deeply person-centred care means every aspect of our support is designed around each resident’s health needs, personal preferences and recovery goals. By building genuine relationships with seniors and their families, we create a clear pathway forward – supporting each individual as they work toward returning home.

The Right Choice

Successful transitions require careful planning and professional coordination. Through collaborative pre-discharge planning, clear communication with clinical teams, continuity of medical support and access to a network of allied health professionals, we deliver a high-quality, structured program that supports recovery.

Residents are welcomed into a calm and supportive environment where our team provides emotional reassurance, clear communication and steady support. Our experienced staff help each person settle in, creating a safe and stable environment where recovery can continue with confidence.
