    Welcome to Highton Gardens Care Community

    Highton Gardens Care Community is located in a scenic residential neigbourhood in Geelong with Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre just a few minutes away and the best the Geelong region has to offer on our doorstep. Our lovely gardens are delightful year-round and abloom in the spring. Our well-appointed aged care home has spacious indoor and outdoor living areas, with shaded courtyards and a gazebo ideal for entertainers to perform, loved ones to spend time together or to enjoy quiet moments of reflection. Our brand new in house wellness centre is also now open for rehabilitation and restorative care.

    Many residents enjoy music and we’re known for hosting musicians and entertainers. Our piano is popular among both players and listeners, and our coffee cart is in demand with residents and visitors, who can enjoy a barista-style coffee any time of day. We’re a socially active home and after spending time in the garden, walking, tending plants, or engaging in art, music, or other hobbies, our afternoon happy hour is a lovely way to relax.

    It’s an environment where you’re free to enjoy your interests, independently or with others, continue to learn and try new things, and participate in our home life – so you can enjoy your day, your way.

    As a team member at Highton Gardens, I have had the amazing support when I’ve have issues arise! The team are very supportive and the management listens and always checks up on us! I’ve never been more proud to work for a company like this, we are a family and I have had nothing but love and support there!

    Mum has been at Highton Gardens about 15 years now and I can say that if it was not for the loving care Mum has received from your staff she would not be with us today. She came to your facility from a long term in hospital after having severe health problems and we were told by the Doctors at that time she may not get better. Mum gradually improved, and came back to us bright and mentally sharp again. I believe this is largely due to the love and care she has received and is still receiving .

    My Father was a resident at Opal South Valley. I cannot explain how impressed I was with the care and compassion that was given to my Dad. All the staff were so attentive to his needs and the caring was first class. Management and staff were wonderful.

    Placing my loved Mum in an aged care residence was a difficult decision to reach but Opal South Valley has proven to be the right choice. The kindness, care and respect shown to Mum, and indeed to me and my family, has been heartwarming and greatly appreciated. Mum is able to spend time enjoying the beautiful gardens, meeting new friends in the communal lounge room, and taking part in the entertainment programmes provided. Everything is clean, tidy and bright and it seems that nothing is too much trouble for the wonderfully caring staff. I have been kept informed of Mum’s health and well-being at every stage during the Covid-19 experience. The management and staff have made it as easy as possible, within the necessary restrictions, to have as much access as possible with “window visits”, FaceTime, phone calls etc. while strictly adhering to the highest standards of safety protocol to protect residents, staff and visitors’ health.

      Thank you so much for your feedback. I am so happy that we were able to assist transition your mum into the home smoothly. While the COVID pandemic was something unforeseeable, our main focus was always on maintaining relationships with family and loved ones while continuing to bring joy in everyday life to our residents and it brings such heartwarming gratefulness that we have been able to satisfy those needs during this time. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to make things easier.
