With lush natural surroundings and a peaceful atmosphere, Baptcare Brookview provides the relaxing ‘go-your-own-pace’ feel of country life with all the convenience of inner suburban living.
Wake up to the fresh scent of gumtrees every morning while overlooking Yuroke Creek and Broadmeadows Valley Trail. Spot families of kangaroos bouncing around at dusk and dawn, just beyond the limits of our landscaped grounds—the perfect spot for relaxing with your own family.
You’ll find Baptcare Brookview nestled between Jacana, Attwood, and Gladstone Park, just a 5-minute drive from local cafes, shops, and the Broadmeadows Central Mall.
Living well together
We’re a thriving community at Brookview
At Brookview, we know exceptional care is different for everyone. That’s why our approach is holistic and all about your personal preferences: to support your independence, choice and lifestyle. We call it ‘Living Well Together’.
You’ll have access to the high-quality care you need, and support to do whatever special things make life meaningful and purposeful for you. Everyone is different, and everyone is welcome. That’s part of the reason why people say Brookview feels like a big family. With residents from over 20 different countries and cultures, we proudly celebrate everyone who calls Brookview home.
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:
- Illustration, arts, and painting: some residents have dedicated gallery spaces where they love to work and create art.
- Gardening in your own dedicated flower bed: creating and painting decorative mushroom sculptures is a current favourite for many residents!
- Enjoying your favourite music: resident Jeanette loves Adele’s signing—“her lyrics have the gift of putting my life into words” . We organised a CD player with all of Adele’s back catalogue for Joan’s daily music therapy.
- Playing instruments: resident Paul is a classically trained pianist. We organised a keyboard so he can play for other residents and share his gift.
- Weekly singalongs from the ‘40s, ‘50s, and ‘60s where we reminisce and celebrate each other’s stories: when we sing ‘Tears on my pillow’ by Little Anthony, we might bond over shared break-up stories. When it’s Louis Armstrong’s ‘What a wonderful world’, we share our most beautiful memories.
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.
