Mooroolbark Manor Care Community

We absolutely love our regular visits to Mooroolbark Manor as part of our intergenerational program. Every visit is met with such warmth, kindness, and genuine connection from the residents and staff. The team at Mooroolbark Manor go above and beyond to create meaningful experiences that bring together young children and older adults. Whether we're performing songs, dancing, creating artwork, building, or simply sharing conversations, there is always a sense of joy, belonging, and mutual respect. Watching the relationships develop between the children and residents has been incredibly special. The residents are always so welcoming and encouraging, and the children leave each visit with smiles on their faces and stories to share. A special thank you to Adrienne and the wonderful team for supporting such valuable community connections. These experiences teach children about kindness, empathy, inclusion, and the importance of relationships across generations. We are so grateful to partner with such a caring and supportive community.

Thank to all staff at Mooroolbark Manor my aunt was well cared for whilst she was there for nearly 3 years until she passed today. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mooroolbark Manor for anyone’s loved one. The staff are friendly , the place is clean, freshly painted and furnished with lovely gardens and plenty of varied activities organised for those who wished to participate in which my aunt did and enjoyed.

A great place, you guys do an exceptional job. Your Christmas party was fantastic and well done. The level of care is very evident. Thank you.

My family member has been at Mooroolbark Manor for a couple of years and has been really happy with the care here. The staff are wonderful and always very helpful. Management is fantastic. Very organised and approachable. It’s a clean, well-run home!

My Nan and my uncle both love living at Mooroolbark Manor, and our family is truly grateful for the care they receive. The team is warm, attentive, and genuinely caring, always making them feel safe, supported, and valued. The community is welcoming, the atmosphere is cheerful, and the building is always beautifully presented and spotless. There are also plenty of activities that keep them engaged, social, and happy. I also want to mention how amazing the management is. They’re approachable, proactive, and deeply committed to maintaining a high standard of care and services, which gives us great peace of mind. The whole home is incredibly community-focused, and it shows. Staff and the manager have even been known to come in voluntarily on weekends for activities and BBQs, simply to join in and ensure everyone has a wonderful time. It’s something we appreciate so much. It’s truly a wonderful place, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience they’re having there!

Mother stayed and was abused by management on multiple occasions, has been taken further. Staff are all beautiful, but I believe they are treated just as poorly.

We could not recommend Baradine highly enough for the high level of care and excellent service they provide our family members. Family and friends are actively welcomed for day to day visits and special events. The home always feels clean, inviting and exceptionally well managed. We have peace of mind as a family knowing that our family members are cared for so well and are enjoying all the home has to offer.

We now affectionately call this Home, the 'Baradine Hilton', as that is exactly the lifestyle it offers. We cannot recommend this Home highly enough. The warmth, welcome, care and love that was shown to our Mum whilst she was there, was exemplary. Nothing was too much trouble. Mum was served, as she herself has served others during her life. She was able to truly rest, everything was thought of and offered. As family visiting, we were also made to feel at home; invited to stay for a meal, overnight, bring our pet in, or join in the activities. The rooms are warm, spotlessly clean, attractive and homely. 'Barry', the maintenance man, had our Mum's personal things displayed within hours of her arrival so that she would feel instantly familiar. Rose, the manager, was like a warm hug, welcoming our Mum like a family member. The residents were also open, chatty, and understanding of these new changes. There are so many little nooks to sit quietly, look out over the view of the Dandenongs, or the gardens and its chickens. The decor is luxe and inviting with a beautiful dining room, open fire, and mini-hairdressers. Our Mum particularly loved the entrance with its huge chandelier. The food was delicious, varied and was served as if in a restaurant. Meal times were considered to be a time for community. The activities are fun, appropriate, frequent and inclusive. The staff are thorough, compassionate, thoughtful and gentle. They treated our Mum as an individual, taking the time to really get to know her - she was a Queen each and every day that she was there. We will miss the Baradine Hilton almost as much as we will miss our Mum, (Auriol).
