Centennial Lodge
Centennial Lodge follows the commitment to care, excellence and choice that has earned the Royal Freemasons an enviable reputation for providing modern, comfortable aged care accommodation throughout Victoria. With a dedicated team of professional staff, a friendly community where you can meet both old friends and new, plus a wide range of professional services and resources available on site, Centennial Lodge is an ideal option for those looking to provide for loved ones needing higher levels of care.
Centennial Lodge compromises three houses; Raleigh House offers a safe secure environment with specially designed programs for residents living with dementia, Lewis House provides general aged care accommodation and services, while Windsor House is an Extra Service option and operates under a different fee structure with increased levels of hospitality. (Please contact the Administration Office at Windsor House for further information, or click on the link below).
Single and double rooms are beautifully appointed and furnished with beds, wardrobes, bedside tables, over bed tables and facilities for a private telephone. Residents are encouraged to bring items of sentimental value, artwork, a TV, favourite piece of furniture or chair to help them feel comfortable in their new home. The shared spaces include a gracious lounge and attractive dining areas, as well as landscaped gardens and sun-filled courtyards with a barbecue area. Many residents use these areas to socialise or spend time with friends and family, who are always welcome to visit. Off street parking is provided and we are happy to help with arrangements for special occasions and family celebrations.
