O’Neill House offers a personalised and luxurious experience for those needing respite or end-of-life care. Located in vibrant Prahran, the 22-room facility provides a comforting, home-like environment for residents and their families.
Specialising in palliative care, O’Neill House supports residents in their final months with compassionate physical and spiritual care. Families can spend quality time together while receiving support to maintain their caregiving roles.
Respite care is available for carers needing a break. Enjoy peace of mind knowing your loved one is well cared for, with stays of two weeks or longer. A self-contained apartment is also available for overnight stays for families to use.
The light-filled, welcoming home overlooks beautifully landscaped gardens, including a tranquil Japanese garden, providing a peaceful environment for residents and families alike.
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.
