Anglicare - Melva McDonald Lodge RC, Retirement Village, Rooty Hill

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. Incorporating innovative dementia design principles, 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 en suite bathrooms, care within dedicated groups and a memory support unit. The innovative building design incorporates a ‘village-feel Main Street’, with shopfronts for services including a hairdresser and café.

Melva McDonald Lodge has a dedicated lifestyle team to provide regular activities for residents. This team also facilitates our Rhythm of Life® program, giving residents a choice in how they spend their day from meals to activities, outings and more.

As you will discover, making the move to one of our residential aged care homes doesn’t mean you have to give up your independence or the things you love. Anglicare’s residential aged care homes are thoughtfully designed to feel just like home.

If your care needs change over time, Anglicare has specific memory support available in some of our homes, as well as quality end of life care. That means you can receive the care and compassion you need at every stage.

At Anglicare, we have a special philosophy which we call 'Rhythm of Life®’. It is about making sure the care you receive works with your unique rhythms, because you deserve the very best in personalised residential aged care. You deserve the kind of care and compassion that enables you to keep doing the things which give your life meaning and joy, each and every day. Rhythm of Life® is exclusive to Anglicare and is based on eight, important guiding principles.
