About St Bernadette’s Sunshine North

Vibrant and caring community in Melbourne's west.

St Bernadette’s is an aged care facility on a peaceful residential street in Sunshine North, offering 81 rooms and an additional 9 rooms in our Memory Support Unit (MSU) for specialised dementia care.  

 

Our nursing home has a vibrant Maltese and Italian community, making it an ideal place for those seeking connection with others of similar heritage. While we have a strong Catholic presence, individuals from all faiths, cultures, and backgrounds are warmly welcomed. 

 

We also offer a unique program, the Specialist Dementia Care Program (SDCP) in the purpose built Lady Lourdes House, designed to support people with significant and complex needs, including advanced dementia symptoms, when mainstream aged care may not be sufficient. 

 

To learn more, the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care provides detailed resources about the Specialist Dementia Care Program (SDCP) and the criteria for eligibility. 

 

Our home is fully accredited by the Aged Care Quality Standards, ensuring you receive the highest level of care.
