Camperdown aged care facility

The project has delivered:

• a new 36-bed residential aged care facility
• single rooms with private ensuites
• dedicated kitchen, dining, lounge and break-out sitting areas
• flexible shared spaces and common areas including a community room, cafe, reflection room, and hair salon
• features to support a range of complex care needs and mobility, including those living with dementia.

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

Specialist care

The 36-bed residential aged care facility will improve access to high-quality facilities and care. It will meet a range of complex needs as residents’ healthcare needs increase, including a purpose-built facility for residents with dementia.

A home-like environment

Residents will have improved privacy and independence with single rooms and ensuites. A ‘small households’ approach will provide residents with access to dedicated kitchen, dining, lounge and break-out sitting areas.

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 Camperdown means residents won’t have to move away to access care. They will be able to remain close to their support, family and community networks.

New outdoor areas

Residents will have access to new and carefully considered outdoor spaces. This will promote physical and mental wellbeing as well as encourage increased social interaction.

Boosting the local economy

At the peak of construction, the project created and sustained around 120 construction industry jobs.

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