Welcome to Murdoch Gardens Care Community

Murdoch Gardens Care Community is located in a peaceful neighbourhood adjacent to Murdoch University with a retirement village next door. Our Care Community is just 20 minutes south of the Perth CBD and is a spacious and elegant home with flourishing gardens. We have a warm, family-oriented atmosphere and encourage residents to stay connected with the local community.

Care at Murdoch Gardens

We offer a relaxing environment with the compassionate and personalised care of 24/7 registered nurses. Our experienced leadership work alongside a capable and confident team to offer residential aged care, palliative care, dementia care and respite care. Allied health professionals also visit regularly. Our memory care neighbourhood provides an environment custom-designed to support the individual needs of residents who are living with dementia. Our state-of-the-art wellness centre enables residents to benefit from a holistic approach to wellbeing, rehabilitation and restorative care in a welcoming environment. We recognise that understanding the big and the little details about how you like to live each day is important to us – so that we can help you feel at home, have the right support and live your best life in our care.

Daily living at Murdoch Gardens

Our residents enjoy staying active and participating in community life. Our theatrette is popular for movie afternoons and our theatre nights are an opportunity to take to the stage or sit back and enjoy the entertainment. We’re a pet-friendly Care Community and welcome visits from animals large and small. Our resident gardeners tend to our flower beds and keep our plants looking beautiful.

It’s an environment where you’re free to enjoy your interests, independently or with others, continue to learn and try new things, and participate in Murdoch Gardens life – so you can enjoy your day, your way.

Christine Sweet
My husband has been in the Care Community for nearly 6 years, during this time we have seen many changes and lots of new faces. In the last 12 months the new leadership team have come together and are providing the best experience we have had so far. We have had a number of General Mangers but our current manager has brought the team together, made great steps in improving culture and creating a family environment. Though we have all had challenges here, Murdoch Gardens is a great place and we are so happy with our experience. My family and I just want to say thank you to Amanda, Caroline and the Murdoch team.

Our first visit was very impressive. The consultant was very informative and reassuring. However, after 24 hours on admission of the family member we were told to take him away. A major emotional and financial disruption. The consultant is clearly not up to the job. It was disgraceful.

    Dear Peter, Thank you for providing your feedback. My sincerest apologies for the situation that you have encountered here at Murdoch Gardens. We always prioritise the best care and safety that we can provide to all our residents. Unfortunately, we didn't have any beds available in our Memory Care Neighbourhood to transfer your family member. Hence, we recommended and assisted to transfer the family member into one of our nearby Care Communities that has an availability in their Memory Care Neighbourhood. If you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out 08 6332 6200 or email - murdochgardens@opalhealthcare.com.au. Thank you. Kind Regards, George (Relief GM)

The communication at this facility (Murdoch Gardens), and Opal generally, is atrocious. Calls and messages went unanswered. Face to face requests were never directly attended to unless strongly insisting. Basic requests like fresh water and cleaning faeces from nails were consistently neglected. It's clear that communication and quality care are not priorities for Opal, and as the facility is ultimately owned by a finance company, it seems profit comes before the residents' welfare. That is shown in their cynical approach to returning the RAD to the estate. Some previous reviews give glowing reports early on about staff etc that have now moved on. The original staff that introduced us, I would give 5 stars but they have all moved on. Both my parents died in this facility and had been there for some years. Any facility run by OPAL I would not recommend. Any positive through staff or particular facility is far outweighed by negatives dealing with OPAL as a whole.
