Our Homes provide care and accommodation, as well as respite, dementia and palliative care.Overbeek Lodge is just down the road from Margriet Manor, on Mt Dandenong Road, Kilsyth. The two residential homes are similar in services, space and flavour, with the main attribute always being genuine care, companionship, laughter and compassion when it comes to looking after our resident elders. As always, the MiCare motto is to concentrate on what our elders can do, rather than what they can’t, so we encourage everybody to get the most out of their days. Unless they feel like sleeping in, of course.
Overbeek Lodge has 55 individual rooms, all with their own ensuite bathroom, and also features respite rooms for when elders need temporary care. Sunny courtyards provide a peaceful oasis for elders wishing to enjoy the weather, to socialise or to find a quiet reading corner while the large lounge rooms offer good coffee, chatty staff and friendship. Each home is divided into smaller households of 15 Elders, with dedicated staff for each group, so that relationships are maintained, known faces are on hand and the staff have an ongoing, experienced eye for how each elder is travelling, physically, mentally and emotionally. If a registered nurse is required, there is one on site, ready to help.
As well as featuring comfortable chairs, the living areas also have large tables so that elders can share their meals, and conversation, while all of these things can be pushed back to give performance groups room to move.
Many of our elders enjoy their food and we cater to that, with the best and most diverse offering we can provide. Our home-style meals follow the dietary guidelines as set by the Commonwealth Government and are regularly reviewed by a dietician, along with the home’s manager and the manager of food services. Our rotating menus change every four weeks and are seasonally adjusted so that the elders never get bored with their options. We also actively involve elders in menu planning, taking into consideration their likes, dislikes and preferences, and especially by adding culturally specific meals to the mix where we can, to remind elders of their home country. We can accommodate any special dietary needs.
We believe that our elders should be provided with plenty of entertainment options. Our Lifestyle Team organises group activities, sometimes with a Dutch flavour, but also, increasingly, with tastes of other cultures to accommodate the many elders who are from a diverse background. National holidays such as Sinterklaas are celebrated in the traditional way and there is a weekly Happy Hour. To enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Dandenong Ranges, we organise scenic drives and other excursions.
Living at Emerald Glades
Peacefully situated in the lush surrounds of the Dandenong Ranges, Emerald Glades offers a relaxing haven for those seeking ageing in place care. Located within walking distance of the Emerald township with its charming teashops and boutiques, Emerald Glades is a big part of the local community.
Emerald Glades has a warm, cosy and inviting appeal. Residents, staff and visitors take pride in the home and delight in the scenic views.

There is an on-site hair salon, Men's Shed and several reading nooks throughout the home.
Emerald Glades features Home2Home, Lifeview's small house model of care. Home2Home is a relationship-based model, where multi-skilled staff (housemates), work with the same group of residents, all the time. Home2Home enables staff to spend more meaningful time within their household, creating better continuity of care and building on already established relationships. Home2Home also enables residents to remain as independent as they wish, rise when they like, eat meals a time that suits them and part-take in activities of their choosing.
Emerald Glades is Rainbow Tick accredited and pet friendly with a Specialist Memory Support Program for those living with dementia.
