Trevi Court has been an exceptional home for my father in his final years. The staff team go to exceptional lengths to create an environment where the residents can maintain their independence, pursue their interests and engage in community activities. Eric and Lina do an incredible job organising activities and encouraging the residents to be involved. Birthdays and special events are celebrated, families are always warmly welcomed. The nursing and health care is exceptional and communication with families is excellent. This is a caring and very professional place, we highly recommend it.

My father lived at Trevi Care for several years up until his recent passing and I could not fault it in any respect. The staff are wonderful and deeply caring, the home is clean, the facilities excellent with private bedrooms and ensuites, the food is good, everything is very well run. The many wonderful staff go out of their way to ensure residents are engaged and entertained, Eric in particular being incredible at this. Dad needed to attend many hospital appointments during his time at Trevi Court, and the nursing staff would deal directly with the hospital team to manage his care collaboratively, looping me in as required. The hospital even remarked about the level of service Trevi provides as being above and beyond what other aged care providers offer. I am so happy that we chose Trevi Court and cannot thank the wonderful team there enough for everything they did for my Dad.

⭐ 1 Star Review – Bolton Clarke (Trevi Court, Essendon) My experience with Bolton Clarke Trevi Court has been extremely disappointing and distressing. As my mother’s Medical Treatment Decision Maker, I’ve repeatedly requested updates, clinical reports, and transparency about her care, yet months have passed with little to no communication. Important documents such as blood-test results and the Dementia Support Australia report have been withheld without clear explanation. The lack of accountability, refusal to engage, and dismissive attitude toward lawful family representatives have caused significant concern for my mother’s wellbeing and safety. I would not recommend this facility to anyone seeking compassionate or transparent aged-care management. Families deserve respect, communication, and honesty — not silence and obstruction.
