Estia Health Bentleigh

Temporary Closure

 

Estia Health Bentleigh will soon begin an important new chapter, with the home closing to make way for a modern, thoughtfully designed aged care home to better meet the needs of the local community. This redevelopment will bring expanded capacity, contemporary facilities and a more comfortable living environment for future residents.

As this transition begins, our focus is on supporting every resident with care and clarity. 

This page provides clear information about the upcoming changes.
