I became, in my own mind, part of this family. And they've looked after me with all my needs and it's made me very happy.

Our approach to aged care is about building relationships and creating the best environment for physical and emotional well-being. We work together as equals for residential aged care services to ensure all your needs are met.
Most of our residential aged care Melbourne homes have fewer beds, so we can get to know all our residents personally. This creates a homelike and welcoming atmosphere, centring your care around your unique needs and preferences.

A residential aged care facility typically provides various services, including 24/7 nursing care, support with daily activities, and specialised care like respite care. A nursing home is often used interchangeably with aged care facilities, but the services and support offered are tailored to the individual needs of aged care residents.
People move into residential aged care when they require ongoing support with daily activities, such as personal or medical care, that can no longer be managed at home. Residential aged care provides a safe and supportive environment, allowing family members peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are receiving quality care in a professional setting.
Permanent residential care refers to long-term care in an aged care facility where residents live full-time and receive assistance with daily activities. It ensures residents access various services, including meals, medical care, and social activities, in a comfortable environment with modern facilities like a private dining room for family visits.
Yes, the Australian government subsidises the cost of aged care for eligible individuals. This funding helps cover both permanent and respite care in registered aged care facilities, though family members may still need to contribute to additional services.
High care is for aged care residents who require more intensive personal care and medical support, while low care is for individuals who need assistance but maintain independence. Both levels of care are available in our residential aged care facilities.
If you have any questions about us or our residential aged care homes, we would love to help.
