If you’re looking for aged care in Pakenham, Shanagolden by VMCH is a popular choice in Cardinia Shire. Newly renovated in late 2024, Shanagolden features 90 beautifully refurbished rooms with modern interiors, plus a brand-new café for residents, families, and friends to enjoy.
Residents can connect, have fun, and stay active, thanks to our engaging lifestyle program. Co-located with a vibrant retirement village, Shanagolden offers ‘ageing in place,’ so village residents can easily transition to the aged care home as their needs grow. Our team provides exceptional support to ease this transition, enhancing residents’ wellbeing and independence.
