The private aged care operator is now accepting applications for its redeveloped Arcare Springwood facility, 20km southeast of the Brisbane CBD. The expanded home is set to open in November.
The redevelopment adds 65 new beds to Arcare Springwood, bringing its total capacity to 175 – making it one of the largest of Arcare's 56 aged care homes.
The upgraded facility will also house offices for Arcare's Queensland support team and training facilities, along with additional outdoor spaces including a barbecue area and a children's playground.
Arcare also opened the 84-bed Arcare Lysterfield, 32km southeast of the Melbourne CBD, on 12 May.
Arcare is pursuing ambitious growth, with a strong pipeline of aged care developments underway including four new homes set to open this year:
- Arcare Aranda, 120 beds, 4km northwest of Canberra's city centre, expected to open in the coming weeks.
- Arcare Croydon, 91 beds, 30km east of the Melbourne CBD, expected to open in 2025.
- Arcare Werribee, 32km southwest of the Melbourne CBD, expected to open in late 2025.
- Arcare Wright, 98 beds, 13km southwest of the Canberra CBD, expected to open in late 2025.
The operator also has several facilities under development including:
- Arcare Clyde, 110 beds, 48km south east of the Melbourne CBD, set to open in mid-2026.
- Arcare Gold Creek, the group’s third ACT aged care home which will begin construction in mid-2025 and is set to open in late 2026.
- Arcare Huntlee, 96 beds, in the NSW Hunter Valley co-located with the Knowles Group’s village brand Sencia’s Green Ridge retirement village which is currently under construction. The aged care home will begin construction in mid-2026 and is set to open in late 2027.
The Knowles Group exited the home care sector earlier this year with the sale of its BodeWell Community Care business to Regis Aged Care.
