Discover a truly unique community at Hedley Sutton Residential Aged Care. Set on the stunning grounds of the Linda Mansion, Hedley Sutton is a pristine leafy-green location in the heart of Camberwell.
While we’re close to bustling Burke Road and the nearby Booroondara Park—which is perfect for a quiet afternoon stroll and features an adventure playground for visiting little ones—you’ll have everything you need, right here on site.
We proudly boast our own resplendent gardens, a café and access to all the care and support you need to live each day with joy, independence, meaning and purpose. Plus, a warm community of smiling faces ready to welcome you to our community.
Hedley Sutton Community is also co-located with Baptcare’s well-renowned and highly regarded Hedley Sutton Retirement Living apartments.
Living well together
Welcome to our warm, inclusive, and friendly community at Hedley Sutton
At Hedley Sutton, we know exceptional care means something different for every person. That’s why our approach to care is all about your personal preferences. We support your independence, choice, and lifestyle. Of course, that also includes around-the-clock access to the latest in high quality care.
There’s a real and vibrant sense of community here, with many residents hailing from the local suburbs. There are plenty of opportunities to make new friends or to relax with your friends and family. Catch up over a coffee in the old-world charm of our onsite Linda café, get out in our lush gardens—where green-thumbs are always welcome and encouraged—or chat over dinner in the dining rooms.
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:
- Staying active and exploring the community: recent favourite for residents included lunch in Warrandyte and visits to Albert Park Lake.
- Enjoying your favourite music: many residents enjoy classical music. We regularly arrange for volunteers to come and play concerts on our grand piano.
- Illustration, arts and painting: our gorgeous surroundings have a habit for awakening or fostering artistic creativity.
- Gardening around the grounds: some residents choose to contribute to the beauty and tranquility of our gorgeous gardens.
- Celebrating our different backgrounds and cultures, with events like Lunar New Year festivities.
- A weekly ‘current affairs’ group, where residents get together to engage in lively discussions on issues and events in the news.
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.
