Wattletree Health Group provides exceptional home nursing services in Patterson Gardens (postcode 3197), a bayside locality in Patterson Lakes within the City of Kingston, about 35km south-east of Melbourne’s CBD. Our experienced, AHPRA-registered nurses support clients in Patterson Gardens and neighbouring Patterson Lakes, Chelsea, Carrum and Bonbeach, whether the need is short-term after a hospital stay or ongoing, long-term clinical care.
Patterson Gardens is a quiet residential precinct within the Patterson Lakes community — one of Melbourne’s most distinctive bayside suburbs, built around an extensive network of man-made canals and lakes that give many properties their own waterfront outlook. Patterson Lakes was developed from the 1970s as a canal estate, the vision of a company that dredged channels through low-lying foreshore land to create an interconnected waterway system — today home to hundreds of boats, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards using the canals for recreation. The wider area borders Port Phillip Bay and is popular for fishing, swimming and foreshore walking, with the nearby Carrum and Chelsea beaches drawing residents and visitors throughout the warmer months.
