UnitingCare Ageing opens first affordable Community Living accommodation at Kentgrove Lodge
UnitingCare Ageing officially opened the doors to the re-modeled Kentgrove Lodge in 2010. Located in Kenthurst, the nine self-contained apartments marks the first rental accommodation for low to moderate income clients who also need support. These units are available through the organisation's commitment to establish 167 affordable dwellings in NSW and ACT through the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS).
Community Living at Kentgrove Lodge builds on the organisation's INSPIRED CARE principles and implements the UnitingCare Ageing Service Model which support wellness, healthy ageing and maintaining independence for older people.
UnitingCare Ageing in partnership with Ecclesia Housing looks forward to welcoming new clients to this innovative accommodation service which provides an independent living option for people with limited income requiring housing and additional support. Tenancy management will be provided in partnership by Ecclesia Housing with care and support such as shopping, cooking, cleaning and laundry services provided by UnitingCare Ageing's Western Sydney Community Care Services through Community Aged Care Packages. Kentgrove Lodge has communal living and dining areas in addition to the self-contained units.
