Cranbrook Care’s five residential aged care communities in New South Wales today officially become part of Opal HealthCare, one of Australia’s leading aged care providers.
The union of two highly regarded aged care providers means Opal HealthCare now offers care to older people at 52 Care Communities in New South Wales.
Opal HealthCare’s purpose is “to bring joy to those we care for” and its services are underpinned by its values of Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence.
Opal HealthCare CEO Rachel Argaman is delighted to welcome Cranbrook Care’s aged care team, residents and representatives into the Opal HealthCare family.
“We are privileged to be taking on the exceptional legacy of Cranbrook Care, and to provide choice, outstanding accommodation and of course, excellent care, to more older people in NSW.
“We believe companies don’t succeed, people do, and in that spirit we will bring the best of our two organisations together to meet the needs of ageing Australians and provide the care, services and lifestyle options they not only expect, but want to enjoy through all the stages of ageing.”
The majority of Cranbrook Care’s aged care team have transferred to Opal HealthCare and will ensure continuity of care for residents.
Team members will benefit from more training and development opportunities through the sector leading Opal HealthCare Academy which offers defined career pathways through aged care, supported by internal and external leadership, training and development programs, and scholarships for further studies, open to all Opal HealthCare team.
Kanwal Springs Care Community in Kanwal on the NSW Central Coast (formerly William Cape Gardens) has today been renamed and rebranded. Over time, the four Sydney aged care communities will be rebranded to Opal HealthCare. They are located in Neutral Bay, Abbotsford and Bella Vista.
“We look forward to caring for more older people in New South Wales, supporting them to live with respect, dignity and a sense of purpose, through our culture of bringing joy to those we care for,” Ms Argaman said.
