Three New Aged Care Homes Purchased in Sydney’s West

The purchase of Courtlands Village in Sydney's west by Christadelphian Aged Care marks a major milestone in the organisation's almost 70 year history. 

For the first time in decades, the not-for-profit organisation can offer retirement options for people living in Sydney, with 130 self-care apartments set among landscaped grounds and manicured gardens in North Parramatta.

Along with the self-care units the Village also features a range of different levels of care that allows for a smooth transition as residents' care needs change.

CAC has also purchased Northcourt, which is a 39-bed nursing home located only a few streets away from Courtlands.

The third acquisition from Manchester Unity is Westcourt, which is located in the nearby suburb of Westmead and features six two-bedroom villas and four two-bedroom self-care apartments.

CAC chief executive Ross Peden said the organisation was privileged to take on the care and management of these three new Homes.

"After meeting with the staff and residents, and touring the sites I have been very impressed with the quality of care, sense of community and high standard of facilities at all three locations," he said.

"We are looking forward to continuing to provide the best possible environment for everyone who lives and works at our new Homes."

The organisation has long been interested in providing retirement options in Sydney, to complement its 52-unit village in Kallangur, Queensland, and five other aged care Homes in Padstow, Padstow Heights, Gladesville, Albion Park and Wyoming on the Central Coast.

"With Sydney property prices so high providing such a village became difficult, so when the opportunity to purchase Courtlands came up the idea was pursued," Mr Peden said. 

The Village was ideally located in the middle of Sydney, and its beautiful gardens and ponds complemented the organisation's six other Homes perfectly, he said. 

Jane Burns, Senior Manager, Retirement Villages, said she had already been made to feel very welcome by the Courtlands community.

"I feel very excited about coming to Courtlands," she said.

"It's a beautiful place and the residents, staff and families have all been very welcoming. The facilities themselves are impressive and as I continue to get to know everyone involved in the community I've come to appreciate the unique culture of Courtlands," Ms Burns said.

One of the first projects to be undertaken at the Village is to create an oasis on the verandah of the Village Centre.

New plants, lighting and outdoor furniture is set to transform the area into an attractive space to relax.
"The design will encourage people to sit out there maybe in the cool of the afternoon, have a coffee and enjoy time with friends and family," Ms Burns said.
