As a not-for-profit organisation, we value staff ratios over profits and innovation and research over returns.
When choosing your aged care provider, you can rest assured that Montefiore offers industry-leading Clinical Services to both Residential Care and Help at Home clients. We focus on person-directed clinical care through implementing best practice; create and review our policies and guidelines following evidence-based research; and offer nurse practitioner services, timely access to doctors and specialists, and quality equipment.
We also run specialised programs that focus on the clinical and care needs of groups including people living with dementia and Holocaust Survivors and their families.
The Montefiore experience means:
Our carer to resident ratio is up to 100% higher than the industry average for Residential Aged Care facilities, meaning quicker response times and more personalised care.
All our Residential Care sites have 24/7 Registered Nurse coverage, offering qualified support whenever our residents need it. Our Help at Home service also employs Registered Nurses on staff.
Our on-site Nurse Practitioners in Residential Care provide specialised and advanced nursing services to improve clinical outcomes. Montefiore is one of the few organisations in Australia to offer this approach, winning Better Practice Award in 2014 for the Nurse Practitioner Program.
Our collaborative approach means that our on-staff experts across clinical and allied health work together to provide each resident and Help at Home client with individual, person-directed care.
We work hard to ensure we are implementing best practice and breaking new ground through a range of internal policies, audits, reviews and feedback. All our services are regularly certified and monitored by the Australian Aged Care Quality Agency.

Recently, our mother, Hannah, passed away peacefully at Montefiore. We do not have enough praise to compliment the staff. They treated Hannah with care and dignity. They treated us with such compassion. They counselled our father and made sure he had meals and was made to feel very comfortable in such a difficult situation. You can be truly proud of your palliative care section.
