New Aged Care Act

KPA Architects are looking forward to the new Aged Care Act and we are studying different approaches to implementing the ‘person-centred’ design model that is recommended. Options range from campus-style developments designed for specific needs like dementia care, through to clusters of specialised care in multi-story developments for inner city locations. A particular focus for KPA will be meeting the challenge of implementing the design innovations in refurbishments of existing larger aged care homes. We are reaching out to clients to get feedback on various approaches.

5 Decades of Excellence in Full-Service Designing

The secret to a great design outcome is managing the project delivery professionally and seamlessly. KPA embraced this concept very early in WA by becoming a ‘full service’ design firm coordinating all aspects of a project. This has evolved to include human-centred design discovery, architectural, drafting, interior design, project management, and construction supervision services. You can see the benefits of this total project management approach in our successful recent large and small projects, like Opal Healthcare’s 120 bed aged care home in Treeby, and the three-unit modular-built Specialist Disability Accommodation in Wonthella Geraldton. KPA was actively involved in their design and project delivery.

National Design Principles

New national design principles to guide refurbishments and new residential aged care accommodation builds came into effect this week. The federal government initiative aims to create more home-like environments in aged care premises. KPA Architects have studied the guidelines closely and we are available to discuss their application to West Australian conditions.

Accommodation Design Principles in Aged Care

It’s great to see support for accommodation design principles in the final report by the Aged Care Taskforce.

As an architect in the aged care sector, KPA regularly see the direct link between investment in good design and improved liveability.
