The Not For Profit has officially opened Kinross Care Community, a $32 million hub consisting of a new 96-bed residential care centre and a day club, The Lake House.
The Kinross Care Community in Joondalup, 26km north of Perth’s CBD, was officially opened by the Archbishop of Perth, The Most Reverend Kay Goldsworthy AO, alongside dignitaries including Amana Living Chair Sue Wilson and CEO Stephanie Buckland.
“The northwest suburbs of Perth are among the fastest growing in Australia and there is an increased demand for specialist aged care accommodation with 18% of the City of Joondalup population over 65,” Stephanie said.
“Whether it’s permanent accommodation or respite for carers, our team of professionally trained and naturally kind staff are here to provide the care older people need to lead a fulfilling life.”
Construction of the Kinross Care Community began in March 2021 and concluded in May. The project team was led by Amana Living and consisted of T&Z Architects, PS Structures, Johnstaff, Plan E and DeFiddes Design.
The multi-storey building offers accommodation on two floors. The ground floor provides dementia specific care, while the first floor is dedicated to residents who need care in a supportive environment.
The SOURCE: With fewer new aged care facilities being built and a growing ageing population, this new facility should be 'rolled gold' within a few years.
