Brightwater Care Group has acquired Attadale Rehabilitation Hospital from Ramsay Health Care, which the aged care provider intends to transform into 39 new aged care places for the riverside Perth suburb of Attadale.
It is one of Brightwater’s largest acquisitions and expands the provider’s portfolio to 10 homes, and marks its first move south of the Swan River.
The refurbishment will commence this year with plans to open to residents in the first quarter of 2027.
Brightwater chief executive officer Dr Catherine Stoddart said that alongside delivering new beds, the acquisition will ensure an important community healthcare asset is retained.
“Western Australia’s aged care system is under increasing pressure, and we urgently need to bring more high-quality care places online,” Dr Stoddart said.
“This acquisition gives Brightwater an opportunity to respond directly to that challenge by delivering 39 new aged care places in a high-demand metropolitan area.
“Every additional place matters. Increasing aged care capacity not only gives older West Australians and their families more options but also helps ease pressure across the broader hospital and healthcare system.”
She said the not-for-profit will move quickly to prepare the facility for its new purpose, including investing capital to equip the hospital for both health and aged care needs.
“Our priority is to complete the refurbishment and bring these much-needed places into the community as quickly as possible,” said Dr Stoddart.
“We look forward to revitalising this important facility and welcoming residents from Attadale and surrounding suburbs in early 2027.”
