Your new home is located in the lovely, leafy and peaceful neighbourhood of Balwyn, only 25 minutes away from Melbourne CBD.
Walking through St Catherine’s you’ll be instantly attracted to its contemporary design, brand new furnishings and open-plan layout. Spaces that residents and families will enjoy and use daily.
Resident rooms are spacious, equipped with a large private ensuite and swathed in natural light. There’s plenty of room to sit and talk with family and friends and have the grandkids potter about. As this is your home, we ensure you have the space to continue doing what you enjoy.
With resident comfort our priority, St Catherine’s was architecturally designed to present multiple sitting rooms and comfortable lounges throughout the home, where you can relax, participate in activities or chat with fellow residents.
We also know that everybody loves good quality food and that’s why our chefs prepare and cook meals on-site using fresh and wholesome ingredients.
St Catherine’s also offers allied health services including physiotherapy and podiatry, plus an on-site hairdressing salon.
We have 59 ageing in place beds and 18 memory support unit beds.
VMCH welcomes and encourages families to consider a respite stay.
VMCH staff are expertly trained to support individuals as they move in and recognise that a move into residential aged care can trigger a sense of worry or grief. For some residents, being introduced to like-minded residents can help. For others, having some alone time and privacy can help them adjust to the changes happening in their lives.
VMCH staff understand how important it is to be aware of what each new resident may need in terms of social connection or space, and that needs can change over time.
