This is their safe place, an oasis of familiar delights - a beautiful garden, a busy kitchen and a bountiful recreation schedule.īut this ordinary neighbourhood is not without its prejudices. Welcome to Cinnamon Gardens, a home for those who are lost and the stories they treasure.Ĭinnamon Gardens Nursing Home is nestled in the quiet suburb of Westgrove, Sydney - populated with residents with colourful histories, each with their own secrets, triumphs and failings.
