Menarock Life Salisbury House is a 60 bed accredited aged care facility nestled amongst the peaceful surrounds of beautiful Upper Beaconsfield in the Dandenong Ranges. Menarock Life Salisbury House (circa 1888) is one of the original landmark buildings in the area and was built as a guest house and health resort for travellers, town-dwellers and international guests. The area was renowned for its clean, healthy air. Today it has been brought back to its original grandeur, but we are now only a short 45 minute drive from the CBD via the Monash Freeway and an easy 10 minute drive from the rapidly expanding south eastern suburbs of Berwick, Narre Warren, Pakenham and the hills areas of Cockatoo and Emerald.

All bedrooms are serviced daily with linen provided. Our carefully selected staff are dedicated professionals who are fully qualified to meet the residents’ personal care needs. They are trained to deliver the best service with qualified personal care, 24 hours a day, every day, with a special understanding of the needs of the aged.
