The Michael Lee Centre is situated in the leafy streets of Como and the scenic surrounds of Collier Park Golf course. It offers state of the art services and a welcoming home-like atmosphere. This innovative centre has incorporated current best practice design to ensure the older person can live comfortably in a modern environment.
Built over 2 levels, the centre is divided into 8 small houses, each with single bedrooms with private en-suites. The individual houses have a front door, lounge/dining room, activity area and private family room.
Each house is attractively furnished throughout to create a home-like atmosphere with a dining room, lounge area and seating nooks where residents can meet with family and friends. There is also a beautifully furnished ‘quiet room’ available for residents and families who would prefer privacy, for a chat or to play a quiet game of scrabble, cards etc.
The manicured gardens, secure outdoor settings and communal areas provide spaces for residents and visitors to enjoy. The centre has a cafe enabling residents, family and friends to socialise.
A hairdressing salon and beautician room is available.
A choice of meals, from menus developed in conjunction with dieticians, is prepared on-site, providing fresh and varied meals for our residents.
The latest technology has been integrated to ensure our on-site team of registered nurses, care staff, hospitality, allied health and administration staff provide the highest quality accommodation and services catering for older people, those living with dementia and respite services.
