Parkrose Village

Parkrose Village offers short-term Respite to support people with higher level of needs and is generally booked in two week blocks. These temporary breaks have a very positive effect on both the physical and emotional well being of the person in respite, as well as the carer.

Respite residents have access to all of the facilities and services of Residential Living and in some instances, this provides a good opportunity for people to experience care in a residential setting before taking up a permanent position. Please refer to the Residential Living section below for details of the facilities and services offered at Parkrose Village.

Life Care also provides Respite for people with lower level needs at your place, day or overnight stays at our dedicated Respite Home at Everard Park, called Norman House, as well as a range of activities, outings, social groups and support. Please visit our Respite section  for further information.

Parkrose Village has 15 charming 2 and 3 bedroom homes for purchase each with large lounge and dining areas, well equipped kitchen and a generous bathroom. All are fully insulated with reverse cycle air-conditioning and built-in robes. Each has a private courtyard, outdoor storage and garage plus shared gardens maintained by Life Care.

Our Residential Living at Parkrose Village features a wide range of indoor and outdoor areas for residents and their families to enjoy. They include a shop and café, a modern hairdressing salon, a library serviced from Mitcham Library, deluxe massage room, billiards room, activity hall and chapel, several resident lounges, outdoor courtyards and attractive gardens as well as an indoor aviary.

All our rooms are well appointed with quality soft furnishings and welcoming décor are designed to maximise natural light and offer garden or street views.

Residents enjoy meals from an á la carte menu cooked on-site in the various dining areas and socialise in the many communal lounge and activity areas.

Residents are encouraged to maintain contact with their existing external communities and clubs wherever possible and Life Care helps to facilitate this. There are also regular social outings and activities on site, including external excursions.
