An official site for the 144-bed facility has not been finalised, however the development will be placed somewhere in the regional town of Goulburn – two hours south-west of Sydney CBD.
Signature CEO, Graeme Croft, said the new facility could be operating in two years pending the approval of Federal funding.
Mr Croft says the new facility will focus on “high-care” and will be established over four wings – with one of these to be dedicated specifically to dementia care.
The development has been allowed by the bed licences allocated in the Federal Government’s recent Aged Care Approvals Round (ACAR) announcements for 2018-2019.
