Melaleuca is a medium-sized (48 bed), high care facility, who provide quality care for the elderly people from Devonport and the surrounding areas. Melaleuca is a non-profit, non-sectarian, non-political organisation managed by professional staff under the direction of a Board of Management, whose members serve in a voluntary capacity. Melaleuca, which emerged from a strong community commitment, has a vision to the future to keep abreast of modern technology and new caring techniques in order to maintain the highest levels of accommodation and care for our residents. We are proud of our "family" oriented facility that is small enough for staff to know all of our residents and families but large enough to provide a safe happy environment for the care, safety and well-being of our residents.
Our Mission: Working as a dedicated team to provide optimum care, consideration and dignity (for our Residents and Families) in a safe, and happy environment.
