Maurice Zeffert Homes Redevelopment
The proposed masterplan of Maurice Zeffert Homes spans over 20 years, comprising of strategic staging to redevelop the entire site with 120 beds, communal areas, extensive landscaped gardens and services.
The proposal aims to develop a Health Campus that de-institutionalises the traditional aged care model, and integrates the development and its services within the community. This will not only bring the community together, but also enhance the lives of residents in an environment that aids in well-being and is tailored to the Jewish Community context and culture. The proposed model will aim to draw family members and the wider community into the facility, breaking down barriers through visitation, resident interaction and community engagement.
KPA Architects identified the ‘small housing model’ as the most beneficial for the site, residents, staffing efficiencies and overall layout. The proposed masterplan comprises of eight houses, each consisting of:
- Eight single bedrooms with ensuite
- Central sitting and common living areas
- Servery and dining areas
- Connection to landscaped gardens
- Enhanced support of the ‘age-in place’ care model
Maurice Zeffert Home has been recognised for their exceptional model of care, and this proposed masterplan will enhance and support this model of care and create a living environment that Maurice Zeffert can pride themselves on.
