Not For Profit faith-based operator Anglicare Sydney today announced it has signed a lease for the former Wesley Rayward site in Carlingford, 22km northwest of Sydney's CBD, which will be recommissioned and is expected to welcome new residents into 74 rooms in 2026.
The Not For Profit faith-based operator today announced it has signed a lease for the former Wesley Rayward site in Carlingford, 22km northwest of Sydney's CBD, which will be recommissioned and is expected to welcome new residents into 74 rooms in 2026.
Anglicare Carlingford House will take the number of aged care homes operated by Anglicare Sydney to 24.
Simon Miller, CEO of Anglicare Sydney said: “The signing of this lease reflects our approach to delivering aged care that’s personal in response to the evolving needs of Australia’s ageing population.”
Wesley Mission announced the closure of three aged care homes, including Wesley Rayward, in April 2023.
Wesley Mission CEO, Rev Stu Cameron, said, “We’re delighted Anglicare will provide aged care on this site, which for many years was home to Wesley Rayward Aged Care. Together with Alan Walker Village retirement living next door, it shows how Christian aged care providers can work side by side for great outcomes in Carlingford.”
The recommissioning project is being led by a cross-functional team from Anglicare’s Property, Digitech, and Residential Care divisions, with works scheduled to begin later in 2025.
“This is a great opportunity for our Residential Care team,” said Dan Dwyer, Anglicare’s Group Executive – Residential Care.
“It reflects our long-term commitment to growing our services. We are focused on delivering person-centred care through our Rhythm of Life philosophy, and we look forward to welcoming more residents to experience this at Carlingford House.”
