Whittlesea Lodge is a small, boutique aged care home providing permanent and respite care in luxurious, fully furnished private rooms and couple suites.

With nurses on duty 24 hours a day, plus a highly experienced team of carers and allied health care professionals, we are passionate about providing our residents with the highest standard of care.

We understand the importance of a healthy, well balanced diet that is based on a variety of delicious, tasty foods. Our on-site chefs prepare quality meals every day using only the freshest ingredients and seasonal produce sourced from local stores within the Whittlesea community.

Our enviable range of leisure and lifestyle activities help to promote overall health, wellbeing and happiness. Residents are encouraged to visit our own café, library, cinema and beauty salon, or join us on walking groups or outings and visits to local shops and events such as football matches, cafes parks and churches. We are lucky enough to be located a stone throw away from the bowling club which we frequently visit for coffee and cake, lunch and the occasional beer or wine.

We believe in respecting and treating each of our residents as an individual, encouraging and supporting them to live as independently as possible, within a secure lifestyle setting.

We also understand that our people are our greatest asset. We endeavor to attract and retain only highly skilled staff who have aged care experience. This ensures our residents receive consistent, high quality care.
