Our facility was named after long-term Coburg resident and Mayoress, Dorothy Impey. Dorothy, with ladies from the Coburg Benevolent Society, commenced a Meals on Wheels service for the elderly people in the area. Through this work she saw a need for hostel-type accommodation. This was achieved, with Council, Rotary and Community support.
Opening its doors in 1971, the Dorothy Impey Home has provided care to the elderly citizens of the Moreland Community for over 40 years.
In 2009, a decision to relocate to O’Hea Street, Pascoe Vale South has allowed us to expand our capacity to accommodate the needs of 90 residents in a state-of-the-art facility. With the feedback from our residents and their families and our staff and friends of our home, we were able to incorporate features that give our residents optimal quality of life and maintain the homely atmosphere that many people comment on when talking about our home.
Resident Rooms All rooms are single rooms with a private ensuite. Residents are welcome to bring in some of their own belongings to tastefully personalise their room. A large modern, inbuilt wardrobe allows for plenty of storage. All rooms overlook a large garden, with some taking advantage of city skyline or mountain views. All rooms are equipped to cater for the latest technological devices such as Pay TV services, Internet and telephone.

Our review system has been built to provide an objective feedback tool where consumers and providers of aged care can respectfully share their thoughts and experiences.
Reviews are most valuable when they are honest and unbiased
They should be from personal experience
Please do not post any personal information.
Any form of discrimination, spam, web links or advertising will be removed.
Any review that violates our review policies will NOT be published.
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:
Conflict of interest: Reviews are most valuable when they are honest and unbiased. Please do not review your own aged care service or that of a competitor.
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.
Personal and confidential information: Do not post reviews that contain the personal and confidential information of another person.
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.
Telephone Numbers and Web Links: To prevent adverts and spam, we do not permit phone numbers or web links.
Hate Speech: We do not allow reviews that advocate against people based on their ethnic origin, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation or age.
Aged Care Reviews is not a complaints system. Reviews must be fair and reasonable. Any defamatory statements reflecting a personal experience that has not yet been taken up with the respective provider will not be accepted. If you have a personal complaint to make about an aged care facility we encourage you to contact your provider directly using the details provided on their listing. Alternatively you can submit a complaint via the Government’s Aged Care Complaints Scheme.
