The multi-level home in the heart of Kew offers ageing in place programs at all levels of care, including a dedicated Memory Support Unit. Our person-centred approach ensures that you will receive a customised care plan to support and maintain your independence, dignity, and overall wellbeing. 

Kew Gardens has recently been transformed through an extensive renovation and the addition of a three-level extension on neighbouring land. This expansion of 52 new beds has created a 135-bed residence featuring a variety of thoughtful amenities designed to enrich daily life.

Residents can enjoy a wellness and physiotherapy centre, beautician and hairdressing rooms, private dining spaces, cozy libraries, and a fully equipped business centre. The home offers numerous inviting lounges and sitting rooms that open onto terraces, an activity centre, and a complementary overnight visitor’s room. The new addition includes a boardroom, chapel, café and bar, creating spaces for connection and relaxation. For those who appreciate scenic views, several suites come with private terraces with city views or the picturesque Alexandra Gardens.

Shared, fully tiled courtyards and terraces are accessible to all residents, offering outdoor spaces for rest and recreation. The luxurious Gold Class cinema delivers an elevated movie-watching experience.

To enhance residents’ safety and convenience, a two-way audio nurse call system has been installed in all rooms and suites. This innovative system connects residents with care staff in real time, streamlining communication and supporting prompt assistance. 

With its thoughtfully designed spaces, modern facilities, and a commitment to comfort and care, Kew Gardens offers a welcoming environment where residents can feel at ease and connected. The elegant blend of luxury, practicality, and warmth creates a community that supports not just living but thriving. Whether enjoying a quiet moment on a private terrace with breathtaking views, partaking in engaging activities, or sharing stories while relaxing in one of the lounges, Kew Gardens is a place where every detail has been crafted to enhance wellbeing and enrich daily life.

This is more than just a residence; it’s a vibrant, nurturing home where life can be truly enjoyed.

The Australian Aged Care Group Pty Ltd has evolved from three generations of experience of the Matthies family, who’ve been involved in aged care since the 1960s.

First generation visionaries, Keith and Betty Matthies were acknowledged by the aged care industry, as being amongst its earliest innovators and instrumental in guiding the industry towards where it’s positioned today.

The husband/wife team was one of the first aged care providers to build and operate new purpose-built facilities in Melbourne in the 1970s and early 1980s. They were also the founders and operators of Canterbury Nursing Home from 1966 through to their eventual retirement in the early-2000s.

As a result of growing up in this environment, Keith and Betty’s son, John Matthies (Managing Director of Australian Aged Care Group Pty Ltd), has had a life-long involvement in the industry, both as an owner/operator and lawyer. John was keen to perpetuate his parents’ legacy building and operating top tier facilities that would meet all the needs and expectations of the growing baby boomer market, as well as people from his parents’ generation. Following his parents’ retirement, John sourced and built Kew Gardens in Gellibrand Street, Kew, then Banfields in Cowes, Phillip Island, and in 2024 the luxuriously modern Mt Eliza Gardens in Mount Eliza.

Taking into account this impressive family history, the company’s motto of “Exceptional Care Built on Solid Foundations”, is evidenced by the continued success and shared vision of generations of progressive aged care providers.
