About
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.
Features
BlueCross Baradine features several generous lounges and dining areas, a gym, hair salon, library, post box area, a resident run kiosk, air conditioning and heating throughout, self-service kitchenettes and two secure outdoor courtyards. Baradine also has a number of intimate corners for reading or time with your fellow residents and family.
The centrepiece of this residence is its expansive main lounge where you can relax in an armchair or sofa while you watch your favourite Foxtel shows, browse a book from the library, or simply sit and enjoy the gas log fire.
Beyond the fireplace there is a huge, formal dining room and a bustling kitchen. Adjacent to the lounge sits the private dining room that can be booked for special occasions. The room’s ornate wallpaper, light sconces and crystal chandelier makes an elegant setting for an intimate dinner with your family and friends.
Rooms
BlueCross Baradine provides a range of accommodation with 75 rooms to suit various needs, including Standard, Twin Share, Superior and Dementia Care rooms. Rooms at Baradine have a view of either its inner courtyards, the sweeping Dandenong ranges or overlook the gardens and local streetscapes. Some rooms also provide private access to the balconies or courtyards.
Lifestyle
BlueCross Baradine runs a large range of leisure and lifestyle activities each week. Carpet bowls, ballroom dancing, bingo and word games are just some of the activities run in the lounge. There’s also the Calais Club room for gents where you could share stories about your favourite Holden or Bentley or discuss the finer points of carpentry.
There’s a great deal to draw you outdoors, too. Baradine’s enclosed balcony overlooking the Dandenong Ranges is a place to track the changing colours of the hills or tend to your cherished pot plants. The charming central garden with its roses and the sunny quadrangle also vie for your attention if you love pottering about.
