White Road Community Centre

Respite care Wantirna

Social support for elderly.

Are you or a loved one looking to meet new friends and join in on fun, stimulating activities? 

At VMCH’s White Road Community Centre, you can enjoy day respite and community activities for seniors in a warm, friendly environment. We offer elderly care to people over the age of 65 and those with dementia or cognitive impairment. 

White Road Community Centre benefits both participants and their carers by providing valuable respite. This allows carers to recharge and reduce stress, while participants enjoy enriching activities and social interactions. 

White Road Community Centre feels just like home, nestled in a quiet suburban setting at 13 White Road, Wantirna.
