About Us

Rembrandt Living is proudly a small, not-for-profit aged care provider truly dedicated to the wellbeing of our residents and clients. We offer high quality, down-to-earth Home Care, Residential, Respite and Social Services that have been enjoyed by people of all cultures, not just the Dutch, for over 25 years.  

The Rembrandt difference comes directly from our Dutch roots and values which we simply describe using the Dutch term ‘gezellig’. You might need to be Dutch to pronounce it, but you don’t need to be Dutch to love and want it - you can sense, see, feel, touch and taste it in everything we do!
