Sawtell Catholic Care is gearing up to open an intergenerational community space at its Marian Grove Independent Living Village near Coffs Harbour, NSW.
Dubbed “The Link”, the project – which broke ground in October of 2020 – will feature wheelchair-accessible bungalows with outdoor facilities for activities; a café; a gallery and cultural activity space; dementia-friendly accessible landscaped areas; sensory gardens; and community garden facilities, among other features.
“We’ll be opening The Link stage by stage, firstly to our residents and later in the year to the general public to ensure that it fulfills its wonderful potential as a lifestyle hub intended to foster the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of our residents and ‘link’ everyone as an inclusive community through social connection and engagement,” the operator told News of the Area.
The village has already led “sneak peek” tours around The Link for residents.
Sawtell Catholic Care, a Not For Profit operator based in the NSW Mid North Coast town of Sawtell 15 minutes south of Coffs Harbour, also operates the Mater Christi residential aged care facility as well as home care services.
