Mercy Health Bethlehem Home for the Aged is a residential aged care facility set in 30 acres of gardens and lawns overlooking the city of Bendigo. This residence will be undergoing a major redevelopment. Construction works have been documented and were tendered in March 2010.
Quality care currently is provided for up to 75 elderly people. Residents are encouraged to maintain independent and active lives with plenty of stimulation through the various therapies and programs including aromatherapy, reading, quizzes, craft, outings, visiting entertainers and church services.
The home has strong links with LaTrobeUniversity and Bendigo regional TAFE, a partnership that provides professional development for staff.
Mercy Health manages the facility for the Diocese of Sandhurst.
