Building work on the Chinese Australian Services Society’s (CASS) aged care and independent living development in Asquith, 26km northwest of the Sydney CBD, is underway.
CASS is a provider of community services, including aged care, for people living in Sydney and Wollongong.
The new 96-bed residential aged care home will sit alongside a separate building for 13 new independent living units. Services will be extended to both buildings, as well as a community hall and ILU resident meeting room, from the basement and back of house area.
The building is designed to be contemporary and feel non-institutional.
Constructed on a long, narrow site, the home will overlook a cricket oval, providing residents with northern sun and leafy views.
The builder is Richard Crookes Construction with the architecture by Calderflower. The project is due to be completed in October.
The SOURCE: The design of this aged care home, with services delivered from a central point, will aid the efficient delivery of services.
