The Not For Profit has announced on Monday 24 March they have acquired Presbyterian Aged Care's eight-unit Iona Village and the 66-bed Minnamurra aged care home in Drummoyne, 6km west of Sydney's CBD, and the 25-unit Pitt Wood Village in Ashfield, 8km west of the CBD.
"We are excited to expand our presence in the Inner West and continue building on the strong foundation of care already in place at these locations,” said Charles Moore, CEO of BaptistCare, which earlier this month announced the completion of the merger between Baptcare (VIC, SA, TAS), Baptist Care SA and BaptistCare (NSW, ACT, WA).
The Not For Profit said it will take over the operation of both sites in June and spend the next few months working closely with the on-site teams to ensure a smooth transition for residents, including offering employment to existing employees.
“We have a strong history of collaboration with BaptistCare, having successfully transferred our home care business and Ashfield-based residential aged care home in 2024," Margaret Mackenzie, Executive Chair of Presbyterian Aged Care said.
The acquisition marks the end of an era for Presbyterian Aged Care, with the Minnamurra residential aged care its last remaining aged care home. Presbyterian Aged Care had owned and operated nine residential aged care homes and 15 retirement villages across NSW and ACT and provided home care servicesfor around 1,000 people in their homes daily at its peak. The organisation still owns and operates three retirement villages in NSW.
Upon completion of this acquisition, BaptistCare will operate 34 retirement villages and 50 aged care homes across the country. The newly merged entity is now Australia’s third largest integrated care and service provider.
