The Melbourne-based charitable organisation has added to its portfolio of retirement living and aged care homes, purchasing Berwick Brae Village and Gregory Lodge from Royal Freemasons VIC who are departing the retirement village sector.
Mecwacare already owns and operates four retirement living communities and 15 residential aged care homes.
Mecwacare, whose CEO is Michele Lewis, cares for more than 17,000 people each week across Melbourne and regional Victoria, also bought Pascoe Vale Gardens Retirement Village in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, in April. Total Construction has also started building John Hood Terrace Aged Care Facility in Richmond in Melbourne’s inner eastern suburbs.
Royal Freemasons staff working at each community will be retained by mecwacare when transfer of ownership occurs.
