Emerald Hill Residence
Description : The resident-centred philosophy of care embodied in the beautiful new building at Napier Street, South Melbourne is undoubtedly one of its most appealing aspects. This household model of care gives the 146 residents respectful choice and control over their lives, ensuring that their later years will have their deserved measure of dignity, security, confidence and enjoyment. The superbly designed, thoughtfully detailed state-of-the-art building is blessed with marvellous views, and tranquil garden surroundings imaginatively spread over four levels up to the roof terrace. There are generous bedrooms each with built-in desks and wardrobes and a private ensuite bathroom. The several households each have a separate dining room, lounges, sitting areas, recreation spaces and kitchens, which form the heart of each household. There are many spaces where residents are able to join in the art and craft or Ipad classes, the camera club, the current affairs discussion group or the reading group or any of the many other activities taking place. Or perhaps they can just make themselves a cup of tea and sit on a stool for a chat with whoever is working in the kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No, CareAbout is not affiliated with My Aged Care. CareAbout is an independent service helping older Australians to navigate their way through the often-confusing landscape of Aged Care in Australia.

  • Most people in Australia would prefer to stay in their own home than move into an Aged Care Home. The government supports both situations and is increasingly shifting funding to care at home.

  • We’re lucky that the government helps to fund the cost of aged care. Everyone over the age of 65 years is entitled to some help. And yes, everyone is expected to contribute to the cost of aged care.

  • If you choose to access government subsidies you need to start by calling My Aged Care. My Aged Care will walk you through the steps you need to take, starting with a face – to – face assessment of your loved one’s needs. My Aged Care will also guide you through the fees you will need to contribute to the costs of care. You can then choose how you want to spend the government subsidies – this may mean support to stay at home or moving into an Aged Care Home. There is a delay of up to 8 weeks to access government subsidies. If you need help earlier you can pay for care directly. If you need help now, CareAbout can talk you through the fees and services of our different partners so you can compare aged care value and service offerings.

  • Aged Care is complex and expensive. There seems to be endless fees and hoops to jump through. But there is help. Call CareAbout and we’ll explain aged care fees in words you’ll understand. We can even match you with one of our care partners – and this is absolutely free!
