Rutherglen aged care facility

Location 33-45 Main Street, Rutherglen, Victoria, 3685, Australia

The Victorian Government provided $57.11 million to build a 50-bed aged care facility in Rutherglen.

The project involved relocating the current Glenview Community Care Nursing Home to a new site at 33-45 Main Street, Rutherglen. The bigger site allowed the facility to expand from 40 to 50 beds while giving residents their own rooms with private ensuite bathrooms.

Helping residents feel at home, rooms are grouped into smaller households with dedicated kitchen, dining, lounge and sitting areas.

The new facility, operated by Glenview Health, also features a community room, reflection room and other common areas for residents to interact with each other and their family and friends.

The project is part of the Victorian Government’s Rural and Regional Public Sector Residential Aged Care Services Revitalisation Strategy.

DESIGN

The project has delivered:

  • a new 50-bed residential aged care facility
  • single rooms with private ensuites
  • flexible shared spaces and common areas
  • features to support a range of complex care needs and mobility, including those living with dementia.

The new Rutherglen aged care facility aims to achieve the following benefits:

Specialist care

The 50-bed residential aged care facility will improve access to high quality facilities and care. It will meet a range of complex needs so residents can age in place as their health needs increase. Residents with dementia will have a purpose-built facility relevant to their needs.

A home-like environment

Residents will have improved privacy and independence with single rooms and ensuites. Flexible shared spaces within the design will give residents options – from socialising with other residents, visitors and family members to simply sitting on their own.

Safe living and working conditions

The new facility will benefit both staff and residents with better and safer living and working conditions.

Closer to home

Greater access to high-quality care in Rutherglen means older people won’t have to move away to access care. Residents will be close to their support networks and will be able to maintain family and community connections.

New construction jobs

At the peak of construction, the project created and sustained around 170 construction industry jobs.

This project is being delivered by the Victorian Health Building Authority in partnership with:

  • Glenview Health
  • ClarkeHopkinsClarke (architect)
  • Zauner Construction.
