CraigCare Moonee Ponds is a residential aged care home in Moonee Ponds, Melbourne, with a legacy of care dating back to 1964 when the site operated as the Essendon District and Memorial Hospital — built in honour of WWII service members. The facility offers 106 spacious private rooms and nine apartment-style suites, described as among the largest in Melbourne, with couples able to stay together and residents encouraged to personalise their space with their own furnishings. Personalised 24/7 care is provided across permanent, respite, dementia, and palliative care streams. An in-house Wellness Program covers physiotherapy, nutrition, art therapy, meditation, and social support, delivered by a clinical and allied health team that includes social workers. The social workers assist residents and families through the transition into care and help connect residents with appropriate resources to enhance wellbeing.
