The Salvation Army Aged Care Plus is ready to move forward with the development of a residential aged care centre in Mossman, Far North Queensland. Construction will begin after a “turning the sod ceremony” on Monday 29 August.

The 42-bed centre will meet all levels of care, including secure dementia, and is set to contribute to the growth and development of the wider Douglas Shire. The project will generate more than 25 jobs during the construction phase and 40 jobs once the development has been completed.

Executive Manager for Capital Projects for Aged Care Plus, Rohan McDonald, says Aged Care Plus is proud to be bringing aged care services to the residents of the Douglas Shire.

“We are passionate about providing this space for the people of Far North Queensland, and we are excited to expand our care services and love to the people in this community,” Rohan said. “At this stage, the finer design details are being completed and in the coming months we will be able to share the final plans with you.”

The expansion of Aged Care Plus’ care and services to Far North Queensland is part of a strategic plan to improve aged care access to all Australians through sustainable growth. This development will mark the most northerly expression of The Salvation Army Aged Care Plus in Australia.
