Two new Arcare aged care homes proposed in ACT
Family-owned aged care provider Arcare is planning its first two aged care homes in the ACT, with two sites proposed for Aranda and Wright.
Each home will have a basement, on-site parking, and internal courtyard. The two-and-a-half storey home at Wright (pictured) will host 98 beds, while the two-storey Aranda home will have 120.
According to Michael Carnell, Property Chief Executive at Arcare owner Knowles Group, the new Arcare homes will allow seniors to stay in their local area.
“We are aware from research that there is a shortage of retirement and aged care options for our seniors in the ACT, meaning it is either unavailable within an acceptable timeframe or requires people to move a substantial distance away from community and family support networks.
