Overbeek Lodge is just down the road from Margriet Manor, on Mt Dandenong Road, Kilsyth. The two residential homes are similar in services, space and flavour, with the main attribute always being genuine care, companionship, laughter and compassion when it comes to looking after our resident Elders. As always, the MiCare motto is to concentrate on what our Elders can do, rather than what they can’t, so we encourage everybody to get the most out of their days. Unless they feel like sleeping in, of course.
Overbeek Lodge has 53 individual rooms, all with their own ensuite bathroom, and also features two respite rooms for when Elders need extra care. Sunny courtyards provide a peaceful oasis for Elders wishing to enjoy the weather, to socialise or to find a quiet reading corner while the large lounge rooms offer good coffee, chatty staff and friendship. Each home is divided into smaller households of about 15 Elders, with dedicated staff for each group, so that relationships are maintained, known faces are on hand and the staff have an ongoing, experienced eye for how each Elder is travelling, physically, mentally and emotionally. If a registered nurse is required, there is one on site, ready to help.
