New Luxury Aged Care Wing Opens in Templestowe

Leading Victorian specialist aged care provider Menarock Life has announced that the new 16 bed luxury addition to its Willowbrae home in Templestowe opened its doors to new residents in July 2018.

The project commenced in February 2017 and was architecturally designed by Roy Hodgson Design Group and constructed by Equisent Group and has been overseen closely by the current residents of Willowbrae.

The new two storey wing backs onto Westerfolds Park, over 120 hectares of recreational and environmental parkland, situated beside the Yarra River in Templestowe.

Chief Operations Group Manager Brendan Coulton, says the addition of the new wing offers additional hours for current staff as well as new roles for a range of aged care professionals.

“We are pleased at the response to the new development so far and have a number of current residents interested in moving into the new wing”, Mr Coulter added.

The new wing doubles the amount of living space available for the residents with an additional lounge/dining room on the ground floor plus library/activities room on the first floor.  There are two kitchenettes for use when family and friends come to visit.

High quality fixtures and fittings have been used throughout and the living areas have been decorated with contemporary furnishings, artwork and window coverings.  The existing wings of the home are also undergoing extensive refurbishment.

All residents will enjoy new contemporary surroundings including Menarock Life Willowbrae Templestowe's range of services that caters to individual care needs and choices, including dementia specific care, hair salon, engaging lifestyle activities and meal choices from the on-site kitchen.

You are invited to attend the official opening of the new luxury wing on Saturday 18th August from 10am - 12pm. RSVP on (03) 9846 7488.
