THE $20M Mooroopna Place residential aged care redevelopment is on schedule for completion in October.

Part of the Shepparton Villages, Mooroopna Place is located at Rodney Park Village in Knight Street Mooroopna, and will be home to 100 residents.

The building comprises 60 beds to the rear of the site to be known as Campbell Court, and 40 beds at the front to be known as Varapodio Way. Both wings are joined by a modern reception area with hairdressing salon, games area, bar and wellness centre.

The single rooms all have their own ensuite, and each wing houses a large communal dining area, lounges, activity areas, guest visitor rooms for families of palliative residents, and a library nook. Outdoor courtyards and entertainment areas, as well as garden beds and barbecue areas are all part of a contemporary setting.

Residents and staff from Acacia House at the Shepparton Villages Tarcoola site will relocate to Campbell Court in February 2021 and current expressions of interest for beds at Mooroopna Place are being taken by Helen Mathieson on 5832 0800.
