New facility opens in Sandgate Qld
Masonic Care Queensland Sandgate’s new purpose built, $36 million aged care facility was officially opened over the weekend by the Governor of Queensland, Penelope Wensley.
Lucinda is a 153 bed facility featuring day spas and sensory gardens.
“It’s an honour to be able to deliver such a wonderful facility to the aged community of Queensland,” said Tony Love, Masonic Care Queensland board president.
“This is the start of a new era for Masonic Care Queensland, with plans to re-develop our major sites into modern, fully integrated care and retirement communities,” said Mr Love.
The next exciting stage of development at Masonic Care Queensland’s Sandgate site is 36 modern, retirement living apartments with a frontage onto Sutton Avenue.
Community facilities and retirement living apartments at Masonic Care Queensland’s Emerald Street site in Kirwan will begin construction as a builder has now been selected.
“Construction is due to start within weeks and we expect it to be completed mid 2012,” said Mr Love.
“This is a major step for us after a long planning process which was required to ensure that the facilities would meet the needs of the community,” he said.
