A Place with History, Heart, and Home
Once the Essendon District and Memorial Hospital – built in honour of WWII service members – CraigCare Moonee Ponds has a rich legacy of care dating back to 1964.
Today, that same spirit continues in our redesigned home offering 106 spacious private rooms and nine apartment-style suites.
Our rooms are among the largest in Melbourne, allowing couples to stay together and residents to bring treasured pieces from home – your dining table, favourite recliner, or chest of drawers – to make your space truly yours.
At CraigCare Moonee Ponds, we don’t just provide care – we nurture friendships, share smiles, and create a place where you truly belong. Here, you’re family, and every moment matters.

Our Wellness Program is all about helping residents live a healthier, happier, more connected life-every single day.
Run by our own caring team of health professionals, it supports physical strength, emotional wellbeing, and personal independence. From physio and nutrition to art therapy, meditation, and social support, everything is designed to boost mobility, confidence, and joy.
Additionally, all of our residents have access to our social workers who are just one part of our clinical and allied health team. They provide emotional and practical support, help families navigate the transition into care, and along with our whole team help connect residents with the right resources to enhance wellbeing.
Whether it’s staying active, connecting with others, or simply feeling more like yourself, our goal is simple: to help you live well, with purpose and everything that matters most to you.
Our Wellness Program empowers residents to feel healthier, more connected, and confident in their daily lives.

When John first arrived at CraigCare Moonee Ponds, he wasn’t doing any exercise. But with gentle encouragement and support from our Wellness team, he quickly gained strength, balance, and confidence.
Today, John completes high-intensity intervals on the treadmill and bike, lifts 3kg dumbbells, and can balance independently on a stability pad—something he couldn’t imagine doing just weeks earlier.
“The staff helped me get my balance back and walk properly. I feel better, more confident, and I’ve met great people. Come and try it—it’s great!”
John’s progress is just one example of how small steps can lead to big changes.
Lyn joined us for a short respite stay after surgery – and left feeling fully recovered, well cared for, and genuinely uplifted.
She loved the company, social activities, and delicious meals, describing her stay as “Like being in a hotel, with the comfort of knowing all my clinical needs were looked after.”
One of her favourite moments? Watching planes from her room’s expansive Melbourne view and imagining the adventures they were off to.
Marg and Don stayed with us while their family took a well-deserved holiday – and enjoyed every moment together in one of our private couples’ rooms.
Marg’s favourite moments included the wellness and social activities, as well as weekly visits to the children at Goodstart Early Learning, which is right next door. Don especially appreciated the caring and friendly staff.
Their family enjoyed peace of mind knowing Marg and Don were happy and well cared for – and now Marg and Don are considering making CraigCare Moonee Ponds their permanent home.
Our program helps residents regain strength, mobility, and independence with expert care from Ash Bhoina and the Physiocare Rehab team.
