Next door to our Kew East clinic
Our clinic on Burke Road sits on the Balwyn North border, so travel to any part of the suburb is short and visit times are flexible. For people who were clinic patients before the trip became hard, the clinician at the door is often someone they already know.
Who we visit in Balwyn North
Balwyn North has one of the highest proportions of older residents in the inner east, many living in the substantial homes they have owned for decades on the quiet streets between Doncaster Road and the freeway. Staying in those homes, with their gardens, steps and long driveways, is the goal we hear most, and adult children arranging care for a parent make up a large share of our enquiries. We also visit residents of the suburb’s retirement villages and aged care homes, NDIS participants, and people recovering from surgery.
Walking and balance in Balwyn North
The suburb is hilly in parts, which means leg strength often comes first. Macleay Park and the reserves around Greythorn have level paths, and the Koonung Creek trail along the freeway offers longer walks once you are ready. The Greythorn shops on Doncaster Road and the bus routes into the city are practical goals for people who want to manage their own errands and travel again.
After hospital
Balwyn North residents are usually treated at the Austin in Heidelberg, Epworth Eastern in Box Hill or the private hospitals in Kew and Camberwell. A short block of home physiotherapy in the first weeks after a joint replacement, a fracture or an illness helps the discharge stick. We follow your surgeon’s plan and make sure the house, with its steps and slopes, is managed safely.
Podiatry at home
Nail and skin care, diabetic foot assessments, ingrown toenail care and footwear advice are all available at home across Balwyn North. Many of our regular podiatry clients here are older residents who can no longer reach their own feet comfortably.
