Benefits

Access to services
The new aged care facility will provide easy access to support services currently provided by Monash Health. These include:
- aged care assessments
- cognitive dementia and memory services
- clinics for falls and balance
- specialist consulting, rehabilitation and allied clinics
- aged mental health services

Person-centred care
Public aged care services play a vital role in supporting our most vulnerable older Victorians who need specialist care for complex physical or mental health needs. With a focus on mobility and dementia-friendly design, this new facility is designed to deliver high-quality person-centered care and better support independence and mental health.
A home-like environment
Residents will have improved privacy and dignity with single rooms and ensuites.
Connection to the natural environment
The facility’s design will allow residents to enjoy open area views and natural light from their bedrooms, while terraces and gardens designed to blend in seamlessly to the surrounding natural environment.
Enhanced community connection
Multipurpose common areas will support residents to provide meaningful engagement in activities and maintain family and community connections.
