Located in the town centre of Whittlesea, just north of Melbourne, Sunlight has all the charm of a rural setting, with the added benefit of easy access to local shops and services.
Sunlight offers you quality accommodation, dining and relaxation options plus accredited standards of healthcare and wellbeing - giving peace of mind to you and your family. Sunlight has recently completed a major redevelopment that includes the introduction of a TLC Primary Care medical centre to service both our residents and the wider community, a fully-equipped cafe where residents can relax and entertain their guests, and virtual reality cinema where residents can immerse themselves in this new technology.
At Sunlight we take pride in offering our residents a lifestyle that is supportive of their care requirements whilst promoting independence and dignity. In conjunction with you, our professional staff will develop a care plan specifically tailored to your care needs and personal preferences.
We actively encourage our residents to participate in our TLC Wellbeing program of social activities and outings that are designed to keep you actively engaged in your local community. If you have hobbies or interests that you would like to pursue, our staff will help you to continue with those activities at your new home.
Registered nurses are on duty at Sunlight 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our registered nurses are supported by our on-site general practitioners, enrolled nurses, dietitians, podiatrists, personal carers and wellbeing coordinators. Sunlight also offers our residents an on-site physiotherapist who will work with you to develop a program of appropriate physical activities that will assist you to maintain your strength, balance and agility.
In our specially designed support environment our highly trained team applies an innovative approach to meeting the needs of residents living with dementia. Sunlight can also offer respite care as an alternative to permanent aged care.
