Revolutionising Ageing-in-Place: Calvary Kooyong Precinct Redefines Senior Care

Graham Archer embodies the enduring vision and core care philosophy of Calvary Kooyong, ensuring the well-being of residents and patients by helping them lead fulfilling lives and addressing their evolving health and social requirements.

“This whole place really is a total package,” says Graham, whose world changed dramatically when he was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.

“I’ve received so much benefit from this concept of Calvary’s, and the positive attitude of everyone around me whose whole approach is ‘we’re here to help’."

In January, the impressive $154 million Calvary Kooyong precinct was unveiled, revolutionising the notion of ageing-in place.

Situated in Caulfield South, this groundbreaking development seamlessly integrates retirement living, aged care, GP and other health services, home care accessibility, and specialised sub-acute hospital services, creating a comprehensive hub for all senior care needs within a single location.

Every aspect of the Calvary Kooyong precinct has been meticulously designed to cater to individuals' evolving needs. Whether residing in the Hyson retirement units, the Huntly Suites aged care home, or receiving care at Calvary Bethlehem hospital—Victoria's leading provider of services for people with progressive neurological conditions and a specialist palliative care service—the comprehensive offerings ensure that each person's requirements are met with the utmost care and attention.

“It is a progressive and very holistic concept of care that centres on the needs of the diverse range of people who will be living here,” Calvary Kooyong General Manager, Shannon Thompson said.

“I don’t think there is anything quite like it.”
