Carinity has released the first pictures from inside its new $32 million residential aged care home, The Residences at Brownesholme in Highfields, near Toowoomba, 125km west of Brisbane’s CBD.

Carinity’s new 96-bed building is expected to be home for an estimated 100 residents. It is part of stage one of a $67 million expansion of the Carinity Brownesholme seniors’ precinct which includes an existing adjacent retirement village.

It’s the Not For Profit organisation’s 12th residential aged care home across Queensland.
