There are several supported accommodation options available for older people and people with disabilities in the City of Port Phillip for people who can no longer live at home and need ongoing help with everyday tasks or health care.
Some are operated by not for profit community organisations and some by private operators.
You can enquire about residential age care facilities via the My Aged Care Aged Care Homes.
