You’ll find St Hilary’s in the crisp, fresh air of Gippsland—not far from dense green bushlands and farming plains—but still right near the heart of Morwell, with plenty of local amenities in close walking distance.
We’re close to parks and gardens, like the beautiful Centenary Rose Garden and Morwell Recreation Reserve. We’re also conveniently right near cafes, shops, restaurants and even the local RSL Club.
While our home is fresh, modern and provides exceptional quality care and support to live the way you choose, there is incredible history at our location. Many years ago, there was a hospital on the grounds of St Hilary’s. Some residents had their children at this location and maintain an extraordinary bond with the area. Some of the nurses on our team even worked at the hospital! This proud heritage is reflective of our community today. We take the time to understand your whole story, so we can support you to live with joy and purpose, your way.
Living well together
We’re a thriving community at St Hilary's
Exceptional care means being treated like family. At St Hilary’s, that’s exactly what we do. In the same way you carefully listen and learn what makes life special for loved ones—and then do and deliver it—we do the very same. Your care is all about you: the care and support that’s right for you, the things that make each day feel meaningful, and whatever you need for joy, comfort and independence.
You’ll feel it when you visit us on site. Independence is huge for everyone here, and we’re right in the heart of Morwell, close to everything you need to embrace yours. We’re a strong, supportive and connected community. For example, families head out for meals and we provide special cutlery and cups to make life easier for residents. We’ve connected with many cafes so they’re all aware and well accustomed to supporting special visitors: serving tea and coffees in the cups provided. It’s a small thing, but the small things add up to one big community where we all support each other.
Live well, your way
Living well looks different for everybody. Whatever you love to do—whatever makes your day and makes life meaningful—we’re here to make it happen.
Some of the hobbies and activities we support residents with include:
- One resident had never been to the beach, but very much wanted to experience it. We arranged a day visit so she could feel the sand between her toes and the gentle sea breeze on her face.
- One resident worked as a truck driver but had lost his sight. In partnership with a local dealer in Morwell, we arranged for a big red truck to visit us on site, so he could hop in the driver’s seat, feel his way around the cabin and controls, and rediscover a passion for his life’s work. We then drove around Morwell for a tour, with him as a passenger.
- One resident has always wanted to ride a Harley Davidson and feel the wind through his hair, so we have organised that.
- Scenic bus tours -wheelchair accessible tours also
- One resident—Jack—wanted to go sky diving. Unfortunately, he cannot get medical clearance, so we’ll do the next best thing: an upcoming hot air balloon trip so that Jack can still soar through the skies.
What's important to you?
These are some examples, but living well looks different for every person. It’s all about taking the time to understand your preferences, hobbies, and passions. We’d love to chat through your favourite things to do when you visit us for a tour.
