Redleaf Manor Aged Care Opens New Neighbourhoods

Allity Redleaf Manor Aged Care in Concord, NSW celebrated the completion of its renovations and extension of two new neighbourhood wings, with an official opening by Mr John Sidoti MP for Drummoyne last Saturday.

The original home built in 2008 showcased the much-anticipated refurbishment, which will provide additional accommodation for 50 residents. The extension includes a dedicated and secure memory support area for residents living with dementia.

The new wings are named Ethel ‘Stalky’ Lane and Bellona, chosen specifically for their historical relevance to the Concord area – honouring the work of nurse Ethel Lane with WWII widows and veterans, and the ship (The Bellona) that marked free settlement in the local area of Concord.

“It was fantastic to have so many of the local community join us. The day was just as much about thanking our residents, their families and the community for their patience and understanding during the building phase as it was showcasing our magnificent new home. The response to the renovations was extraordinary, with quite a few of our rooms reserved on the day. We are now looking forward to welcoming our first resident on the 20th July.” Said Erin Sharp, General Manager of Allity Redleaf Manor.

Among the many visitors who attended the ceremony, were members of Ethel Lane’s family who live in the local Concord community.

While a lot of emphasis was placed on historical relevance of the aged care home, the renovation and extension is modern in design and carefully thought through in the quality of its luxurious finishes and furnishings. The integration of technology has been an important consideration with the home completely WiFi enabled ready to meet the needs of the next generation of residents.
