Resthaven Malvern

Resthaven Malvern accommodates 38 low and 33 high level aged care places, including a 12 place low level care secure dementia unit and one low level care respite place. Four independent living units offer another retirement option for older people.

Features include the communal entertainment areas, volunteer opportunities, a small on-site shop, regular bus trips, a library and regular newsletters. There is always something going on - films, concerts, quizzes - it's your choice to participate or not. There is an Unley council bus stop on Cambridge Terrace where residents can hail the Unley Council's volunteer bus, which visits nearby shopping centres each week. Retail shopping is a short stroll away.

Independent Living Unit accommodation offers independence, privacy and security, together with access to on-site communal facilities. Four two-bedroom units with carports are available, with some white goods and soft furnishing supplied.

Applicants purchase a licence to occupy the unit. A fortnightly fee, reviewed annually, covers council rates, gardening, sewer and water rates (within limitations), insurance for all structures, administration expenses, repairs and maintenance of buildings and plant.

Residents are responsible for their personal contents and public liability insurance and utility accounts. Residents furnish their units with personal possessions and are responsible for their own laundry, meals, shopping and cleaning needs. Opportunities to maintain a personal garden are negotiable.

Should a move to a residential aged care facility be required, Resthaven gives preference to existing residents of Independent Living Units, following the necessary government assessments. Resthaven offers high and low dependency care services for people who need assistance with daily living activities. Eligibility for care requires an independent assessment by an Australian Government Aged Care Assessment Team. Following assessment approval, Resthaven's admissions process includes an evaluation to ensure our facilities are appropriate and that accommodation is offered to those applicants with the greatest need. Each person's circumstances differ, and our Admissions staff discuss individual needs and advises the next steps.
