Now known as the Sister Mary Glowrey Residential Care Facility, the new residence on Lapage Street Belmont features 96 beds over three levels: a ground floor 16-bed memory support unit with adjoining outdoor sensory gardens and courtyards; and a day therapy centre and garden for home care package clients living in their own homes. The first and second floor levels comprise two wings of 20 beds each.

The building caters for residents’ needs within a relaxed, light-filled and home-like atmosphere that makes the most of its location. The dedicated landscaped sensory garden has been specifically designed for residents living with dementia so people can gather with families to enjoy the outdoors in an attractive, secure space. Other amenities include a hairdressing salon; training and meeting rooms; large light filled courtyards and balconies; and a chapel and reflection space. Fully self-sufficient the building also features back-of-house facilities inlcuding a commercial kitchen and laundry.
