Doutta Galla Footscray was opened in 2008. It is a modern, bright residence, offering 88 beds in single and double rooms, and providing permanent and respite residential care, and a 12-bed secure memory support unit.
Located close to Footscray station and market, easily accessible from Melbourne CBD, Footscray is an affordable inner-city residence.
Designed over two levels, with a series of courtyards, Footscray provides boutique hotel-styled accommodation. Every room has a view, and a spacious ensuite bathroom.
Residents gather in light-filled social areas for our daily Lifestyle program – activities that nurture skills and make life fun. Meals are all prepared on-site, using the freshest ingredients. Menus change weekly, and food preferences are happily accommodated.
We are proud of the diversity of our residents, and all cultures, nationalities, faiths and language groups are welcome.
