Resthaven Marion Retirement Living offers 37 comfortable one- and two-bedroom units, a short distance from shopping, entertainment, leisure and lifestyle experiences. Residents can enjoy an independent lifestyle without the burden of gardening and home maintenance.
The site offers privacy and security, with units featuring heating and cooling, modern kitchen, laundry and bathroom, dining and lounge rooms, reserved parking, soft furnishings and phone and internet access.
Co-located with the Resthaven Marion residential care home and community services, there's access to a number of the home’s features, including:
On Friday, 28 February, Resthaven held its 2025 Excellence Awards. The event recognised and celebrated Resthaven’s staff and volunteers, and the valuable and important work they do to contribute to the outstanding care and support of older people and their carers.
Held at the Wolf Blass Centre, Morphettville, almost 300 people attended the event, including the 80 award finalists, people who had nominated them, and special guests. Nominations for the awards were received from Resthaven residents, clients and families, as well as colleagues – with more than 1,800 nominations received.
Formal recognition programs, flexible work arrangements, increased rates of pay and additional leave entitlements are just some of the transformations Resthaven’s Executive Manager People & Culture, Sylvia Powell, has championed since joining Resthaven in 2020.
Coming on board soon after the appointment of CEO Darren Birbeck, the pair have worked together with the executive management team to boost the culture and conditions at Resthaven. They each strongly believe in workforce development and in celebrating the success of others. This International Women’s Day they are doing just that, while continuing to take steps to question unconscious bias, challenge discrimination and bring awareness to the areas where women’s equality is still a work in progress.
Resthaven is proud to celebrate its 90th anniversary in 2025 with a series of events, activities and concerts to be held across all of Resthaven’s residential, community services and retirement lifestyle sites.
‘Ninety years ago, in the coastal southern suburb of Brighton, Resthaven opened its doors for the first time,’ Darren Birbeck, Resthaven CEO says. ‘Formed from the belief that older women with nowhere to live deserved charitable accommodation, members of the Methodist Church set about establishing this home.’
Resthaven Marion retirement living residents, Mrs Beverley (Bev) and Mr Lawrie Warschauer, say that moving into retirement living was "the best thing we ever did." Bev explains, "Nearly four years ago, we were living in our house down at Moana, but it was so far away from everything. This is far more convenient."
On 25 April, Mrs Patricia Mackey (nee Barnes), will celebrate her centenarian milestone in her home at Resthaven Marion Independent Retirement Living Units, as she reflects on a "life worth living." Born and raised in the rural township of Rainbow, North-Western Victoria in 1923, Mrs Mackey grew accustomed to farm life on 640 acres.
