Menarock Life Willowbrae is a modern, purpose-built 64 bed facility, situated alongside Westerfolds Park, with its natural bush reserves and open areas, bounded by the Yarra River, yet it is also close to shops, medical services, churches, clubs and public transport. Each resident has their own individual bed-sitting room, wired for free-to-air and cable television, private telephone as well as a private ensuite with fold away shower seat, complete with anti-scalding thermo valve taps, grab rails and non-slip floors. Quality curtains and light fittings and built in wardrobes make each room attractive and comfortable. Residents have the option to furbish their own bedroom if they desire. Residents may relax in the spacious comfort of the lounge room, with its open fireplace, watch communal television, listen to requested musical or other programs of interest, or enjoy reading from a selection of books from our library. In addition there are two smaller lounge rooms, one of which is designed as a chapel retreat where residents and their friends may enjoy quiet and private moments. A large multi-purpose room caters for a variety of activities ranging from construction & modelling to bingo, cards and other interests. This room also doubles as a meeting room for groups both within the hostel & the wider community. Regular ecumenical church services are conducted by local clergy. Hydronic heating throughout the building and air conditioning in communal areas, as well as individually controlled ceiling fans in all bedrooms and communal areas, ensures a comfortable temperature is maintained in all seasons. Outside the landscaped courtyard and pergola with its central water feature, offer an idyllic area to enjoy the outdoors. The built-in barbecue caters for special outdoor functions. On occasions residents may wish to cook for themselves, their friends and families as a special treat.
