McArthur have partnered with a leading not for profit organisation with a reputation for excellence throughout Victoria, providing high quality Residential and Community Aged Care services across the Melbourne metropolitan region to our most marginalised community members, offering support to people as they age within their local community since 1994 by providing 24-hour aged care, clinical support and palliative care services for people living with a disability, Mental Health issues, significant drug and alcohol use. The support differs from many other aged care services, because support is also offered to people from a younger age group with aged care approvals whilst receiving NDIS supports. Residents are offered stability and safety after a lifetime of living with persistent disadvantage. At this very unique facility, their life experiences and diversity are welcomed. Here, they have a home for life.
