About

Set in a quiet location on the banks of the Barwon River in Southern Victoria, Bupa Barrabool features four residential communities within one of Geelong’s most popular suburbs. Step into your home and you’ll find a welcoming lounge area with fireplace and a games room. If you’re looking for a quieter space, each resident community also has a cosy living area looking out into the garden. If you love the great outdoors then you should feel right at home at Bupa Barrabool. The home is bordered by landscaped gardens, tall trees and flowering shrubs, providing plenty of room for a stroll in the fresh air. If you’ve got a green thumb, get your hands dirty in the raised flower beds and veggie patches. For more information or to book a tour, please visit our website.

I highly recommend this aged care home to anyone looking for compassionate, high-quality care. The staff are kind, professional, and genuinely dedicated to the wellbeing of every resident. They create a warm, welcoming environment where residents are treated with dignity, respect, and kindness. The team goes above and beyond to provide excellent care, engaging activities, and nutritious meals, while keeping families informed and involved. It is reassuring to know that loved ones are supported by people who truly care. Thank you to the entire team for the outstanding work you do every day.

We recently visited Bupa Barrabool home while looking for respite care for my mum, and we were genuinely impressed with the entire experience. This was our first time exploring aged care options. As we live locally, it was important for us to find a place that truly felt warm, welcoming, and homely. The staff member at the reception who provided us with the tour was wonderful, thorough, and took the time to answer all of our questions patiently. The team supported us throughout the entire admission process, making everything much less stressful, and we were very happy to secure a respite bed for my mum. The nurses and staff have all been kind, caring, and attentive. My mum especially enjoys spending time in the garden and sharing meals with the other residents, which has been lovely to see. Overall, we are extremely happy with our experience and would highly recommend this home to families looking for compassionate and supportive aged care.

Our mum was admitted around 12 mths ago into Bupa Barrabool. The staff have always been very attentive and caring. If there are any issues they are discussed and resolved. There have been lots of good positive changes happening both at management, environment and care level in the last few months. My mum enjoys the outings, activities and the lovely garden environment.

My mother has been a resident at Barrabool Bupa in Geelong for eight years. In that time there have been many changes, but since we have had our new manager Crystal taking over the reigns, there has been a huge positive change in the morale over all areas of the home. With new painting & decorating throughout and upgrades with furnishing, Darcy (Front desk), Angie & Di (social team) to name just a few, the sense of a happy work environment hits you as soon as you enter the front doors. This all has a huge effect on all that reside there..... So well done to all the team X Melinda Gould
