San Carlo Homes for the Aged is a not-for-profit residential aged care facility located at 970 Plenty Road, South Morang, Victoria, founded in 1979 by the Scalabrinian Fathers and centred on a rich Italian cultural heritage. The facility includes 5 dementia care units, 24 high-care beds, and a 44-bed Hostel, and recently completed a $5 million upgrade. Both respite and permanent residential care are offered, with Italian-speaking lifestyle staff organising cultural activities, home-cooked Italian meals, and regular outings around Melbourne using the facility's two buses. Accommodation costs range from $550,000 to $850,000 RAD depending on room type, with concessional residents warmly welcomed. Allied health services including physiotherapy, podiatry, and speech therapy are provided at no additional cost, and daily Mass and Rosary are conducted on-site by resident Catholic clergy.
