Monday 31 October saw the official opening of the Shoreline Luxury Retirement Living, a state-of-art aged care and retirement village development in the heart of Coffs Harbour. The precinct features a 120 bed Residential Aged Care Home and will feature 185 Independent Living residences. With 80% of the independent living apartments sold in the 72 Saltwater Apartments, the first residents have made themselves at home and have created a warm buzz around the precinct.
With a focus on using local trades and contractors, including the main builders FM Glenn, the quality and finishes for the build are immediately noticeable from that very first step into the main foyer. You’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve stepped into a luxury holiday resort to rival any luxury escape.
“The vision for The Shoreline has always been to focus on redefining the meaning of lifestyle for those in our community who are over 65. The precinct brings the Mid North Coast retiree community something our region has never seen before, while creating a community that they can proudly call home. The resort-style community centre is at the heart of the development. Topped off with an inviting pool surrounded by an outdoor BBQ area, beautifully landscaped gardens and the convenience of practical recreation facilities, which is all contained within a secured gated community “ said Steve Gooley, the General Manager of the Bachrach
Naumburger Group.
The Aged Care Home had its first residents moved in this week, with the Shoreline team fulfilling its commitment to offer premium residential aged care beds featuring spacious rooms and lounge and living areas. With a focus on providing a comfortable senior living environment for those that are looking for tailored care and attention, it’s for this reason The Shoreline has taken the approach to only move in five aged care residents into the Aged Care Home each week.
“We’ve worked extremely hard over the past twelve months since I’ve come on board with The Shoreline team to develop an exceptional quality model of care for both our residents and our staff. So the staged approach to moving in residents allows us to really get to know our residents as individuals and help us to understand their unique values. Which means we can be confident in delivering the highest level of care and support” said Owen Lednor, Director of Care at The Shoreline.
One of the redeeming qualities of the luxury retirement living precinct in the heart of Park Beach, is the seamless interaction between the higher needs Aged Care Home and the Supported Independent Living apartments and villas.
“When our team has been chatting to residents who have purchased into the development, what we’ve heard time and time again is that they love the cohesion and communal spaces that the aged care home and the independent living components share. So if they’re currently in the independent living part of the precinct they feel assured knowing that if their, or their partners needs change as they age, it will be an easier transition into aged care living, because the two components of the precinct work cohesively together”, said Brett Kelly, General Manager of The Shoreline.
With the Aged Care Home and some independent living now completed, there is still future independent living and villas being constructed at the Shoreline and available to purchase.
“We’ve created a true aged care, retirement and health hub, and once the additional construction is completed we’ll not only have a great village area that benefits retirees in Coffs Harbour and surrounds but also employ in excess of 130 full time locals.” said Steve Gooley.
The Shoreline team is thrilled to show people over 65 around the precinct and sit and discuss their care needs. You can learn more about the newest leaders in luxury retirement living by visiting https://theshoreline.com.au/
