Pam Palmer House Residential aged care refurbishment
Client: Peninsula Villages
Location: Woy Woy, NSW (Darkinjung Land)
Peninsula Villages approached Constructive Dialogue when they were considering improvements to an under utilised garden facilities and wanted to establish a wellness centre and club at the centre of their community. We established a masterplan for ongoing development guided by Dementia Training Australia design principles for supporting people living with dementia and other frailties. Through a series of stages we:
- relocated a staff area to support the expansion of communal areas and increase the number of bedrooms
- created an accessible teahouse surrounded by fish ponds and usable outdoor space
- established a wellness centre that repurposed a therapeutic pool to become more connected, usable and enjoyable
- refurbished the entry and club spaces to support better orientation, access and usability
