Melva McDonald Lodge is located within Anglicare’s Rooty Hill Retirement Living Village. Since opening in 2019, Melva McDonald Lodge has been welcomed into the local community and is home to 90 residents. It features pleasant outdoor spaces and is within walking distance of transport and shops.

Person-centred care is at the forefront of this home’s design with private ensuite bathrooms, care within dedicated groups. The innovative building design incorporates a ‘village-feel Main Street’, with shopfronts for services including a hairdresser and café.

Reviewing an aged care provider is a great way to share your thoughts. But please follow the policies listed below when writing a review.

We will remove content that violates any of the policies listed below:

  • Off-topic reviews: Do not post reviews based on a third party experience, they must be your own. Our reviews are not a forum for general political or social commentary or personal rants.
  • Impersonation: Do not post reviews on behalf of other people or misrepresent your identity or connection with the aged care provider you are reviewing.
  • Language: Do not use offensive, profane, or obscene language. We will remove reviews that represent personal attacks.

  • Spam Content: Please no spam. Reviews should be a genuine reflection of your experience with an aged care provider. Do not include promotional content or advertising in any form. Duplicate material will not be accepted.

  • Hate Speech: We do not allow reviews that advocate against people based on their ethnic origin, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation or age.
