Lifeview Emerald Glades

Living at Emerald Glades

Peacefully situated in the lush surrounds of the Dandenong Ranges, Emerald Glades offers a relaxing haven for those seeking ageing in place care. Located within walking distance of the Emerald township with its charming teashops and boutiques, Emerald Glades is a big part of the local community.

Emerald Glades has a warm, cosy and inviting appeal. Residents, staff and visitors take pride in the home and delight in the scenic views. We have a large outdoor area featuring a water fountain and gazebo. Residents can sit and relax over a cuppa whilst admiring the priceless views. There is an on-site hair salon, Men's Shed and several reading nooks throughout the home.

Emerald Glades features Home2Home, Lifeview's small house model of care. Home2Home is a relationship-based model, where multi-skilled staff (housemates), work with the same group of residents, all the time. Home2Home enables staff to spend more meaningful time within their household, creating better continuity of care and building on already established relationships. Home2Home also enables residents to remain as independent as they wish, rise when they like, eat meals a time that suits them and part-take in activities of their choosing.

Emerald Glades is Rainbow Tick accredited and pet friendly with a Specialist Memory Support Program for those living with dementia.

Emerald Glades has a friendly, homely vibe with plenty of activities on offer through Lifeview’s Horizon Happenings program. Residents enjoy daily activities such as bowls, word games, exercise classes, bingo, card games, cooking, gardening, art classes, Tai Chi and yoga to name a few.

Keeping up community connections and discovering new possibilities is a big focus at Lifeview.

The monthly Horizon Happenings calendar provides a variety of special events and entertainment so there is something happening for everyone. Themed events like a Night at the Proms, Valentine's Day and IDAHOBIT are celebrated at Emerald Glades. Any reason to have a party, get dressed up, decorate and have fun, we’re living it.

Our people are your people
Every staff member at Lifeview is carefully selected, not just to make sure they’re suitably qualified for the role, but to also ensure they’re the right cultural fit in meeting our L.I.F.E. Principles. Lifeview staff attend regular training, conferences and seminars to keep abreast of industry developments and advances in aged care. They’re committed to making sure residents live life to the fullest and all it has to offer through a high standard of care and personal service. That’s the Lifeview difference.

Your dining experience
The menu changes seasonally based on information gathered from the resident food committees and through surveys. Our Chefs create tasty, freshly prepared meals each day and cater for special dietary requirements, and personal preferences through a Resident Food Appreciation Program. Each day starts with a continental breakfast buffet served over a two-hour period, so residents can rise at their leisure. There is also a hot cooked breakfast once per week.

Professional services
Services including physiotherapy, dental, podiatry, hairdressing, beauty, dietetics, a choice of doctors and ministers of religion - all visit residents in the comfort of their home. Newspapers and magazines can also be delivered to the home.
