our story

A Community Vision Realised​

This book immortalises the journey of Cabanda Care, showcasing what a united community can achieve through vision, exemplary leadership, and dedicated community involvement. Cabanda Care, rooted deeply in the town of Rosewood, Queensland, began as a dream in 1979 by community visionaries who believed in creating a safe, local haven for older people. Their goal was to ensure that residents could continue living within their community, even when they could no longer live independently. Today, Cabanda stands as a comprehensive care facility, serving up to 150 elderly and disabled individuals with a range of services including independent living units, day respite, and both low and high care residential facilities. Achieved through careful planning, relentless hard work, and continuous community-driven fundraising efforts, Cabanda exemplifies the power of community spirit.  From the men who collected and sold bottles for funding to the volunteers who dedicated their time to residents’ wellbeing and the facility’s governance, the spirit of Rosewood has been the backbone of Cabanda’s success. This legacy of community support built Cabanda and sustains it to this day.
