At Mercure Ballarat, care isn’t clinical, it’s considered. It’s the way the morning light filters through the trees outside your window. It’s the warmth of a familiar face greeting you each day. It’s meals that feel like home, and support that meets you where you are gently, respectfully, and always with heart.
