Excellent quality care and comfort blended with modern design
BlueCross Baradine is located in Mooroolbark with the sweeping Dandenong Ranges to its east and bustling Croydon and Bayswater at its feet. With 75 places, Baradine is a beacon of high quality care for people with low, high and dementia specific care needs.
Purpose-built by BlueCross, Baradine’s interiors reflect the graceful lines of early twentieth century design, with a grand chandelier and tall ceilings in the front entrance, and crown moldings, soft hues and 1930s inspired art prints throughout the residence.
We have a registered nurse on duty at all times, and our enrolled nurses, personal care attendants and hospitality services staff are well-trained and attentive to your individual and changing needs.
We invite you to come and experience Baradine as we believe you’ll find our service second to none.
