Warrigal has officially brought Wollongong retirement village The Links Seaside, and its accompanying aged care home, under its banner.
The Not For Profit aged care and retirement living provider based in the NSW South Coast announced last month that it was purchasing The Links, with its 154 independent living units and 153 aged care beds, from Illawarra Retirement Trust (IRT).
Speaking at the rebranding ceremony, where the village was renamed to The Links Seaside by Warrigal and the aged care home to Warrigal Wollongong, CEO Mark Sewell (pictured) welcomed the 450 new people under the Warrigal umbrella.
“We’re very happy to be able to celebrate with our new Warrigal team members, residents and villagers today – it’s a very exciting day for the entire Warrigal team.
“Warrigal Wollongong and the Links Seaside are going to complement our other nine service locations across the Illawarra at Figtree, Coniston, Albion Park Rail, Albion Park, Warilla, Lake Illawarra, Mount Terry, Mount Warrigal and Shell Cove well,” he said.
Warrigal has recently announced the closure of its 140-bed aged care home at Warilla, also on the NSW South Coast.
