RYMAN Healthcare is planning to build a new\u00a0retirement village in Ocean Grove.<\/p>\n
The new village on Shell Road is close to local shops and amenities and will provide a full range of independent living options and aged care in a beautiful new resort-style village, which will eventually be home to more than 300 residents. Ryman Healthcare chief development officer Andrew Mitchell said the 3.7-hectare site already had development approval for a retirement village and was in an area where retirement living options were in short supply.<\/p>\n
\u201cOcean Grove is an established area with great amenities and the beach just down the road,\u201d Mr Mitchell said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s already popular with retirees and we\u2019re pleased to be able to have the opportunity to build a Ryman village with resort-style amenities, a range of living options, and care on hand if it is needed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a bonus to be able to buy a site with existing approval, but we will be consulting with the\u00a0community about our plans before we go to Geelong Council for approval.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to build a village that everyone in the area can be proud of, so we will be talking to anyone interested in our plans before we develop them further.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
The Ocean Grove village will include an aged care centre with 120 beds, including 40 dementia beds.<\/p>\n
It will also include resort-style amenities including an indoor pool, hair and beauty salons, a bowling green, a cafe and a movie theatre.<\/p>\n
Ryman Healthcare names its villages after local people and will be asking for suggestions from Ocean Grove residents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
