Glenmore Park Care Community
welcomes first residents

Glenmore Park Care Community, located in Western Sydney, opened its doors today and welcomed our first six residents.

A beautiful Care Community set within parklands overlooking the Glenmore Loch, it’s designed with hub-culture and connecting people at its heart - to specifically to meet the needs and personal choices of people as they age.  It is a truly special place.

Design for better living

At Opal HealthCare we believe ‘ageing is living”. We want our residents to live as well as possible, for as long as possible in our care.

Regional General Manager, Ann Knevitt, says, “that philosophy is imbued in the way we designed Glenmore Park - to enable each resident to live each day the way they choose to.”

“We’ve drawn on our experience designing and developing residential aged Care Communities over many years, to create a built environment that looks and feels like ‘home’“, says Ann.

There are single bedrooms each with their own ensuite, spacious indoor and outdoor living areas, nestled among beautiful trees and with easy access to public pathways alongside the Loch.

Supporting a meaningful life in our care

There’s plenty of things for residents to engage in. “Our beautiful and homely resident kitchens are designed to enable residents to maintain their independence”, says Ann.

“We have a pool table, grand piano lounge, adult learning area, libraries and card tables. External walking paths and a relaxing outdoor BBQ area shaded by trees. A putting green. Juke box. Potting sheds, raised garden beds, and a kitchen garden for residents to tend and for our chef to use in freshly cooked meals.

“There are also lots of quiet spaces for residents to take time out or relax with family. And a theatre which can also be used as a spiritual retreat.”

Our Wellness Centre offers individual reablement and restorative care programs for residents provided by physiotherapists and other clinicians from our allied health partner, HCA.

Person-centred care

As residents move in and we gain a deeper understanding of what brings them joy, we’ll purpose-up spaces to suit their preferences. For example, in our Memory Care Neighbourhood we’ll create spaces with the right memory supports for individual residents, such as a nursery, laundry or an office area.

“All of these things we know are so important to wellbeing”, says Ann. “We very much look forward to serving the community of Glenmore Park and Western Sydney, doing our best to bring people joy and give them an exceptional experience in our care.”
