Creating a modern, safe and comfortable public sector residential aged care facility for older Victorians to call home.

Background

The Victorian Government is building or transforming new and existing residential aged care facilities that better meet community expectations and promote resident independence, dignity and mental health.

This new facility replaced the former Glenview Centre in Rutherglen. It delivered 50 residential aged care beds, giving residents their own rooms with private ensuites, open area views and natural light.

It is designed to support a range of complex care and mobility needs, including for those living with dementia. It has landscaped gardens and terraces, together with a range of common areas for socialising and activities.

The development also includes an integrated allied health facility incorporating GP, physiotherapy, podiatry and other community health programs.
