Our History
Villa Dalmacia was born out of a need to provide culturally specific care to the aging European community in Spearwood and beyond. We have an incredibly proud history of achieving this goal and we continuously improve the services that we offer.
Our home was officially opened in April 1989 after a successful public fund-raising drive and assistance from a lottery west grant. The home was originally designed with 40 beds but over the past 28 years we have increased the size of the building and increased the amount of beds to 75. The home is truly independent and prides itself on providing true choice to the residents that live here whilst respecting their dignity and heritage.
