Welcome to VMCH O'Neill House Aged Care Residence, Prahran.
O’Neill House is a warm and welcoming home for people seeking aged care in the heart of Prahran. Our boutique 22-room residence offers comfort and personalised support, so you can feel at home.
While O’Neill House was previously dedicated solely to specialist palliative care, we are now delighted to welcome residents seeking permanent or respite care. This offers a rare opportunity to access aged care in an inner-city location, close to major hospitals and public transport, while enjoying the intimacy and connection that only a small home can provide. It’s quiet, peaceful and homely; ideal for families who live or work in the city and want to visit before or after work, or even during a lunch break.
Each room includes its own private ensuite, and residents enjoy thoughtful touches such as an on-site salon, a peaceful chapel and beautifully landscaped gardens, including a tranquil Japanese garden. Families can gather in our private dining room for special occasions, and a self-contained apartment is available for overnight stays.
For those needing extra support, we still offer short-term respite and specialist palliative care. Our team is here around the clock to provide comfort and guidance, so families can focus on being together.
