BaptistCare Strathalan Community is a residential aged care facility located at 50 Braidhill Road, Macleod VIC 3085, set in large, leafy grounds on Melbourne's north-eastern fringe near the Rosanna parklands. The community features the historic Strathalan Homestead, which serves as a wellness hub providing podiatry, physiotherapy, and dental services to both residents and the broader Macleod community. Strathalan traces its origins to 1945, when a group of Baptist women raised funds to open Australia's first Baptist home for older people, and today operates as part of the BaptistCare not-for-profit network. The facility is co-located with Strathalan Retirement Living, whose residents regularly socialise with aged care residents, fostering an intergenerational community atmosphere. The care team's approach centres on individual choice and independence, tailoring support to each resident's personal story and preferences.
