A strong sense of community to make you feel at home.

VMCH Ashwood Aged Care Residence

VMCH Ashwood is a welcoming aged care residence known for its compassionate care and strong reputation. With deep ties to the Cabrini network, the dedicated team – many of whom have been with the residence for years – provides personalised support to all residents. 

Each of the 90 spacious rooms is filled with natural light and includes a private ensuite. Larger rooms are also available for couples, allowing them to share their aged care journey together. 

For residents living with dementia, VMCH Ashwood offers a specialised 11-bed Memory Support Unit (MSU). This unit is designed to provide safe, supportive care tailored to the individual needs of each resident. 

Located just 30 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD, VMCH Ashwood also offers an Extra Services program for residents who appreciate a little added comfort. Premium options include additional physiotherapy sessions, monthly sweet treat surprises, visits to the in-house hair salon, and more.
