Work has today commenced on a $41 million dollar upgrade to an aged care facility at Booragul.
The Anglican Care funded project aims to expand and improve aged care services available to residents and will include 126 new single en-suite rooms, a Chapel, cafe and day therapy centre.
CEO of Anglican Care, Colin Osborne, says it's a much-needed upgrade.
"The old CA Brown nursing home was built in stages quite some years ago, and it really doesn't meet the contemporary standards of delivery of quality aged care services," he said.
The project is one of a number of Anglican Care funded projects around the Hunter set to be opened by April 2020.
"It's an 18-month building program, a very extensive building program that we're looking forward to commissioning in that second quarter of 2020."
