Clarinda electorate
Meng Heang TAK (Clarinda) (14:40): (1261) My constituency question is for the Minister for Ageing, and my question is: what benefit will the Boollam Boollam aged care centre at Monash Health Kingston Centre in Heatherton bring to my community? Earlier this month it was fantastic to have the minister out to announce the completion of the $139.6 million Boollam Boollam aged care centre, with residents set to move in next month. It is an amazing new multistorey facility that features 150 modern single rooms with private ensuite bathrooms for residents with a range of complex care needs. The rooms are warm and provide the familiarity of home. It has been designed to promote independence and mobility. Residents will also have easy access to a range of integrated healthcare supports, including dementia memory services, clinics for falls and balance, and age-appropriate mental health services.
