Constituency questions
South-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:52): (758) My constituency question today is for the Minister for Ageing Ingrid Stitt. Aged care is an important issue for my constituents in the South-Eastern Metropolitan Region. I note that the minutes recently announced that the multistorey Kingston Centre aged care facility has officially topped out. This significant milestone brings the project one step closer to being completed and open to provide residents with the unique and specialist care that they need. The $139.6 million Kingston Centre aged care development will provide 150 single bedrooms with private ensuites, open-area views and natural light. These will be grouped into small households with kitchen and dining area features to support complex care needs and mobility, including for those living with dementia. Minister, what benefits will the Kingston Centre residential aged care facility provide to older constituents of mine in the South-Eastern Metropolitan Region?
