About Gladswood Lodge
Our small, close-knit community is located just a 20 minute drive from Melbourne CBD, nestled in the tranquil, leafy suburb of Brunswick West.
Built in 1985, Gladswood Lodge has a local reputation for its genuine care and welcoming atmosphere, at the hands of a team of longstanding and dedicated staff. Residents benefit from around the clock tailored nursing care, as well as a stimulating and varied lifestyle program which includes craft clubs, a choir, and the occasional dog show.
Gladswood Lodge has raised garden beds and veggie patches for residents with a green thumb, as well as an outdoor terrace with BBQ. There is also a cinema room, and a delightful range of communal areas with natural light and cosy decor to make each resident feel right at home.

With room for 51 residents, Gladswood Lodge is the perfect place for meeting new people and establishing friendships. We have close links with local community groups, churches (of many different faiths) and welcome them into Gladswood Lodge on a regular basis – to provide entertainment or spiritual support.
Volunteers assist the staff in arranging outings and activities for residents outside the facility so they can maintain their relationships and links to their community.
Staff and volunteers
We encourage our staff and volunteers to bring a pastoral sensibility to their roles, to listen to and be truly present to our residents. Our specialist team of non-denominational Pastoral Care Practitioners provide individualised and ongoing spiritual and emotional support.
In addition, through our Lifestyle Program, denominational visitors and volunteer companions foster an ongoing connection with our residents’ chosen faith tradition and provide church and chaplaincy services.
