Alan David Lodge is a modern facility located on the Torquay Highway in Charlemont. Surrounded by rustic farmland, the country setting makes Alan David Lodge a peaceful and serene experience for people transitioning into high level care. The facility features spacious design, modern decor, a contemporary colour scheme with natural lighting and connection to external courtyards and the unique community garden precinct.
