Comfortable accommodation

At HillView Care’s Merrimac and Ashmore aged care homes, comfort and space are key. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the variety of room types we offer, catering to everyone’s unique needs and preferences.

In Merrimac, our architecturally designed home boasts sweeping verandahs and generously sized rooms suitable for both singles and couples. Each room is equipped with a private ensuite, a cosy living area, ample storage space with large built-in robes, and expansive windows or sliding doors that showcase breathtaking views. Plus, most rooms open onto a verandah or terrace, inviting residents to soak in the scenery.

At Ashmore, residents are treated to premium aged care accommodation. Our Ashmore home has the charm of a boutique hotel, complete with ornate detailing, leafy surroundings, and double French doors that lead out to a covered verandah or garden terrace.

24/7 medical care

While each residential aged care facility has its own unique offerings, medical care at HillView Care encompasses a variety of services. These can range from routine health check-ups and medication management to wound care and treatment for both acute and chronic health issues. In case of medical emergencies, health professionals are readily available to provide immediate assistance and collaborate with care staff to tailor healthcare plans to each resident’s needs.

In addition to ongoing care, medical professionals also focus on preventive measures like immunisations and health education to encourage residents to maintain healthy and active lifestyles.
