About Hope Aged Care
Our commitment
Hope Aged Care has been providing quality aged care services to the community for over 30 years. With a rich history of commitment and dedication to the well-being of seniors, Hope Aged Care has established itself as a trusted provider of care in Melbourne and rural Victoria.
Our four aged care homes are staffed by a dedicated team of professionals who are trained to provide the highest level of care, support, and compassion to all those in their care. We foster independence and encourage passions and interests.
At Hope Aged Care, the goal is to provide a true home-away-from-home experience with a commitment to innovation and excellence. We strive to create a nurturing environment where our residents can age with grace and dignity, surrounded by love, comfort and support.

Living our values
Respect, empathy and compassion are the pillars of our approach, shaping our interactions with residents, families, and staff to foster a community built on trust and integrity.
With a deep commitment to preserving individuality and enriching lives, we strive to create a warm and compassionate environment that feels like home for everyone we care for.
We understand that growing older can be a challenging experience, and our goal is to make this transition as smooth and fulfilling as possible.
At Hope Aged Care, we believe that our residents deserve nothing less than the very best, and we are dedicated to making that a reality.

A legacy of care
Hope Aged Care is a family-run company started by Dr Afif Hadj, a retired trauma surgeon.
With a legacy in aged care since 1981, Hope Aged Care operates four homes in Melbourne and country Victoria continuing our founder’s vision of providing exceptional care and creating a nurturing environment where residents feel cherished and supported.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a waiting list?
Can we personalise the indvidual room?
We encourage families to bring favoured furniture items so that the room is familiar and similar to their room at home. For more tips on making the transition smoother, check out our article on transitioning to aged care.
How to prepare your move to Hope Aged Care?
To prepare for your move to Hope Aged Care, we’ll start with the resident agreement, which covers all the important details. Having your documents ready will help make the process smooth. We also personalise care to suit each resident’s needs, making sure their new home feels comfortable. For more tips, visit our article on new beginnings in aged care.
How do you accommodate the specific dietary needs?
In conjunction with the medical requirements the dietary needs are determined and these are then reviewed by our qualified dietitian.
Is there a registered nurse on-site 24/7?
Yes. To learn more about our clinical care coordinators and service managers, please visit our Clinical Care page.
What happens in case of an emergency or medical crisis?
Our homes are staffed 24 hours by registered trained nurses. In an emergency or medical crisis, the medical condition is assessed and a decision is then made as to the appropriate care. The resident is stabilised and if emergency hospital care is required the appropriate emergency services are contacted and the resident transferred to the most appropriate emergency facility.
Can residents continue to see their own doctors?
Have the Sunshine facilities recently been upgraded?
Yes, we completed the Sunshine renovations in August 2024. The upgrades include the lobby and reception area, 14 resident rooms, courtyards and garden areas, as well as the management rooms.
You can check the photos and read about the renovation here.
