In 1950, after Victoria’s success treating consumptives, Greenvale was registered as a special hospital for the elderly in 1962.
It also became a geriatric centre for studying disabilities of the aged.
Since the closure of the sanatorium, the complex was known as the Greenvale Village for the Aged, the Greenvale Geriatric Centre, the Greenvale Centre, and the Greenvale Campus of the North-West Hospital.
Despite urban myths, it does not appear to have been a hospital for the mentally ill.
Greenvale closed in 1998.
