Aged Care Home's description:

Located in the hub of cosmopolitan Prahran, mecwacare’s Sir Donald and Lady Trescowthick Centre was built in 1998 and has accommodation for 60 residents.
The facility is centrally located in one of Melbourne’s most desirable inner suburbs, within short walking distance of the Prahran market and the Greville Street, Chapel Street and Commercial Road shopping strips with their cafés and restaurants, as well as multiple tram routes and Prahran train station.
Residents live in one of four houses, each with their own dining room and living room, surrounded by leafy courtyards. The four houses are linked by an internal streetscape featuring a central mall with cathedral glass ceilings, kiosk, library and hairdresser. A communal dining area, smaller living areas and peaceful outdoor courtyards offer flexible daily living. The open architecture of the communal spaces, the individual ‘house’ design of the resident rooms and the low number of rooms gives the centre a distinctive, boutique feel
