Pouring at MercyCare’s new Maddington build

Earthworks are complete and builders are now beginning blockwork.

Located off Maddington Road adjacent to our existing aged care home, the new design to be home to 108 residents is based on the small house model of care which features six small houses spread over two levels which are home-like in appearance.

Evidence shows the small house model of care can deliver wellness and memory benefits for residents, as well as encouraging independence.

Connection with nature is a key feature of the home with the courtyard and external areas designed to encourage residents to take advantage of outdoor areas.

Central living areas and dining settings have the feel of a family home. With a kitchen designed to encourage independence and enable access to the food experience.

Bedrooms have been designed to feel comfortable and homely while also supporting the provision of high quality clinical and personal care.

The home will offer high quality dementia care and palliative care tailored to individual needs and preferences; 24-hour clinical care and enhanced allied health and therapy services; and state-of-the-art technology to enhance care and independence of residents, security and service delivery

The first residents are expected to move in early 2024.
