Blue Wave Living acquires Boronia Court

Woy Woy's BlueWave Living has expanded with the acquisition of the adjacent Boronia Court aged care facility.

The purchase of Boronia Court, now renamed The Shores, took effect on June 30.

The Shores is located directly behind BlueWave Living and has 43 hostel-style rooms.

BlueWave Living CEO Ms Jennifer Eddy said board members were excited to extend the organisation's reputation of excellence in aged care to The Shores.

"BlueWave Living is very excited to acquire this aged care facility," Ms Eddy said.

"We plan to make significant changes to the design and decor of the facility in keeping with the bright and fresh BlueWave Living image," she said.

"This will take time but we are already in the early planning stages."

With the purchase months in the making, internal refurbishments will begin as soon as possible with external renovations to start before the end of the year.

Ms Eddy said the buildings will initially be joined by a covered walkway with future plans to structurally join the buildings together.

"Our aim, once we join the buildings, is to have the residents able to age in place, so they won't need to be sent away if they need higher care," Ms Eddy said.

Ms Eddy said the facility planned to increase its capacity a few years down the track by building a new wing, making room for 20 new resident places.

BlueWave Living will be taking on The Shores' existing staff, who will also benefit from the expansion with additional access to resources and more opportunities to advance their careers as part of a larger organisation, according to Ms Eddy.

"BlueWave Living is looking forward to working with the current staff and providing care to the existing residents of The Shores," Ms Eddy said.
