VMCH Berwick

We make sure your wellbeing comes first.

VMCH Berwick offers aged care services that prioritise comfort and independence within a close-knit and welcoming community. 

As a smaller home with only 76 beds, residents are supported by long-term, experienced staff who prioritise their needs and comfort. This care extends to VMCH Berwick’s 16-bed Memory Support Unit (MSU), where residents with dementia receive compassionate care, tailored to their needs. 

Although VMCH Berwick is a Catholic community, people from all faiths, cultures and backgrounds are welcomed warmly. Our dedicated pastoral care team offer both emotional and spiritual support to residents and their families, should they need it. 

Rooms at VMCH Berwick are bright and spacious with private ensuites. We have recently-refurbished our communal spaces with modern amenities including a new café (opening soon!) that will be an exciting place to gather with friends and family, all within the comfort of your new community. If you’d like to venture out for a coffee, VMCH Berwick is conveniently located just a short drive from Fountain Gate Shopping Centre and the Dandenong Ranges.
