San Carlo Homes For The Aged

The Scalabrinians arrived in Australia in November 1952 and the history of their presence in this country reflects the development of the Italian community and of migration here. Their role evolves and develops to meet the needs of the community and in the mid 1960's they began their involvement with aged care in Australia. San Carlo Homes for the Aged began its development in the mid 1970s and the first stage of the complex was opened in 1979. Since then the Scalabrinains have continued the development and continued expansion of the facilities and services at South Morang. In 2010 the Scalabrinian Congregation transferred the ownership of the San Carlo Homes for the Aged to San Carlo Homes for the Aged Ltd (San Carlo). San Carlo remains a 'not- for - profit' organization governed by a Board of Directors two of which are Scalabrinian fathers. The work at San Carlo continues to meet the needs of our Aged Italian Community and does so with the support of the Missionary Sisters of St Anthony of Claret (Claretine Sisters). San Carlo has 104 beds and specialises in Dementia Care.
