Hall & Prior takes over Tuia Lodge
Hall & Prior Health and Aged Care Group have taken out a 21-year lease to manage Tuia Lodge Residential Care Facility in Western Australia.
New South Wales and West Australian aged care provider Hall & Prior Health and Aged Care Group has taken over the operations of a council-run 40-bed aged care facility in Donnybrook, south of Perth.
The Tuia Lodge Residential Care Facility, previously run by the Shire of Donnybrook-Balingup, is a boutique aged care home that first opened in 1985.
Hall and Prior Health and Aged Care Group has taken out a 21-year lease as manager of Tuia Lodge and the Shire of Donnybrook-Balingup will remain the landlord of the home.
The announcement brings Hall & Prior’s aged care portfolio in WA to 17.
The provider plans to refurbish the home and add an in-home community-based care program to increase care options for the local community.
Hall & Prior Health and Aged Care Group CEO Graeme Prior said the organisation would leverage its expertise from owning and operating aged care homes across WA and NSW to provide exceptional care to WA’s South West region.
“Hall & Prior is looking forward to becoming part of this wonderful town; our goal is to deliver premium health outcomes for local residents in a home that remains connected to the broader Donnybrook-Balingup community,” Mr Prior said.
Shire of Donnybrook Balingup president Cr Brian Piesse welcomed the transfer of Tuia Lodge to Hall & Prior.
“The Shire is confident that Hall & Prior is best placed to meet the needs of residents of Tuia Lodge now and into the future,” he said.
