BASSCARE Hester Canterbury

Hester Canterbury is a boutique independent retirement living community operated by BASSCARE, a not-for-profit organisation, located at 9 Chatham Road, Canterbury in Melbourne's inner east. The residence comprises 34 two- and three-bedroom apartments featuring open-plan living, modern kitchens, private balconies overlooking courtyard gardens, generous ensuites, and secure underground parking with lift access. Named after pioneering modernist artist Joy Hester, the development is set among landscaped gardens and welcoming shared spaces designed to balance privacy, independence, and community connection. Residents have access to a dedicated Village Manager, a 24/7 monitored emergency call system, exercise classes, and optional home care, shopping, transport, and evening meal services. Faversham House Residential Aged Care, also operated by BASSCARE, is situated next door for residents whose care needs increase over time.
