Helping Hand announces major capital redevelopment for Belalie Lodge, Jamestown

03 Dec 2009

A multi million dollar redevelopment plan for Jamestown has been endorsed by the Helping Hand Board, with capital works planned for commencement in 2010. This major investment into Jamestown reflects Helping Hand’s strong commitment to the community and to ensuring that high quality professional care is delivered in safe and inviting surroundings, where residents can live the lifestyle of their choice.

Preliminary plans will be available for the general public to view at Belalie Lodge, 1-7 Cumnock Street, Jamestown.

The redevelopment builds on the foundations provided by the local community, prior to Belalie Lodge becoming part of the Helping Hand Aged Care organisation.

We are very pleased to be able to continue to enhance the provision of care services in Jamestown. The investment of capital works funding by Helping Hand, into the community, will further develop Belalie Lodge as an attractive environment in which to live and work.

Our commitment to the community is to establish a high quality residential care site that complies with safety and legislative requirements and most importantly, meets the needs of our residents.

Capital works will include opening up access within the site, enlarging small bathrooms, creating a flexible special care unit, upgrading security systems and hot water supply, expanding dining, lounge and activity spaces, development therapy rooms and providing office space for Northern Areas Community Care. 

This major redevelopment will commence in late 2010, with preliminary service works commencing as early as April 2010.

Belalie Lodge has been providing high quality aged care services to the Jamestown community and surrounding districts since 1978.
