Relocated aged care facility ready for residents
Glenview Community Care Nursing Home — operated by Indigo North Health — is now ready to welcome residents after being relocated in a $57.11 million project. Delivered by the Victorian Health Building Authority and builder Zauner Construction, the larger site at 33–45 Main Street, Rutherglen, has expanded the facility from 40 to 50 beds — giving residents their own rooms with private ensuite bathrooms. “Across regional Victoria, we’re refurbishing aged care facilities to bring them up to modern standards, ensuring residents can age comfortably, in familiar surroundings and close to loved ones,” Victoria’s Minister for Ageing Ingrid Stitt said.
To help residents feel at home, rooms are grouped into smaller ‘households’ — with dedicated dining, lounge, kitchen and sitting areas. A community room and reflection room are among its common areas, also serving as spaces in which residents can catch up and meet with family and friends. The facility also capitalises on the surrounding natural environs; natural light and open-area views have been prioritised throughout the building, while opportunities for physical and mental wellbeing are available through green spaces. It has also been purposefully designed to be dementia friendly, to create a setting that promotes independence and dignity — so residents can ‘age in place’.
