All on track for new aged care home

Catholic Healthcare has celebrated a major construction milestone for its new aged care home at Kincumber with a topping out ceremony.

Growthbuilt, Catholic Healthcare’s construction partner, hosted the ceremony with representatives from both organisations gathering to witness this significant milestone.

A crane lowered a magnolia tree into the ground to herald the commencement of the ceremony, which was held on February 13.

The topping out traditionally celebrates the placement of a building’s final steel beam and the planting of a tree.

“We have designed our aged care home at Kincumber to not just be a place to live; it will be a sanctuary that will foster a strong sense of community,” Catholic Healthcare Chief Property Officer Peter Paltoo said.

With the roof now complete and the building taking form, Catholic Healthcare and Growthbuilt remain on track to complete construction and have the home operational later this year.

At the heart of the 102–bed home are two beautifully designed wings with generous and inviting living spaces for relaxation and socialising.

The ground floor features a vibrant central link that will serve as the hub of community life and will contain a cafe where friends and family can gather as well as a versatile multi-function room where residents can participate in events and activities.

Residents will also be able to enjoy a pampering session at the salon, work on their health and wellness in the state-of-the-art gym, or find spiritual connection in the onsite chapel.

The new home represents an exciting addition to the Kincumber area, with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

Its thoughtful design complements a commitment to exceptional care.
