VMCH Berwick offers aged care services that prioritise comfort and independence within a close-knit and welcoming community.
As a smaller home with only 76 beds, residents are supported by long-term, experienced staff who prioritise their needs and comfort. This care extends to VMCH Berwick’s 16-bed Memory Support Unit (MSU), where residents with dementia receive compassionate care, tailored to their needs.
Although VMCH Berwick is a Catholic community, people from all faiths, cultures and backgrounds are welcomed warmly. Our dedicated pastoral care team offer both emotional and spiritual support to residents and their families, should they need it.
Rooms at VMCH Berwick are bright and spacious with private ensuites. We have recently-refurbished our communal spaces with modern amenities including a new café.
If you’d like to venture out for a coffee, VMCH Berwick is conveniently located just a short drive from Fountain Gate Shopping Centre and the Dandenong Ranges.
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.
