The Hon. Ray Williams MP, Member for Castle Hill and Hills Shire Mayor, Yvonne Keane, joined BaptistCare for the official opening of Stage 2 of Kellyville’s multi-award winning independent living community, BaptistCare The Gracewood, on 22 November 2016.
Since launching in 2013, The Gracewood has grown to become a wonderful community of people enjoying retirement living in the heart of the Hills District.
Stage Two comprises 80 new luxurious and architecturally designed apartments that capture the vistas of the natural surroundings.
BaptistCare General Manager, Housing and Retirement Living, Mike Furner, said these new apartments bring the total number of residents enjoying The Gracewood lifestyle to more than 200.
“It has been a huge 12 months for The Gracewood, with 80% of the Stage Two apartments now sold and 60 new residents moving in last month,” he said.
“The Gracewood is more than just modern apartments with all you could want to support a great lifestyle, but it also has a wonderful sense of community amongst the residents, a level of vitality that you don’t always see. “
“It’s great to see residents and their families strolling through the Cumberland forest, enjoying a dip with the grandchildren in the heated pool and having a dig in the communal veggie patch.”
There are more than 184,000 seniors living in retirement villages across Australia and this number is expected to double by 2025.
“BaptistCare’s Community Living model recognises the emerging needs and expectations of this new generation of retirees,” said Mr Furner.
“With the Government’s increased attention on providing care services at home, Community Living encourages social engagement, with the integration of care services to promote independence.”
The Gracewood is one of nine BaptistCare retirement villages spread across Sydney and as far north as Alstonville, with all residents having access to home support services.
In addition, The Gracewood will soon be home to a state-of-the-art aged care facility, due to open in early 2017.
