Medium residential aged care facility (90 resident places) Sunshine North, VIC
VMCH St Bernadette's is a 90 bed aged care residence focusing on providing residents with the personalised care they deserve.
St Bernadette’s is an aged care facility on a peaceful residential street in Sunshine North, offering 81 rooms and an additional 9 rooms in our Memory Support Unit (MSU) for specialised dementia care.
Our nursing home has a vibrant Maltese and Italian community, making it an ideal place for those seeking connection with others of similar heritage. While we have a strong Catholic presence, individuals from all faiths, cultures, and backgrounds are warmly welcomed.
We also offer a unique program, the Specialist Dementia Care Program (SDCP) in the purpose built Lady Lourdes House, designed to support people with significant and complex needs, including advanced dementia symptoms, when mainstream aged care may not be sufficient.
To learn more, the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care provides detailed resources about the Specialist Dementia Care Program (SDCP) and the criteria for eligibility.
Our home is fully accredited by the Aged Care Quality Standards, ensuring you receive the highest level of care.
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.
