Miranda Mason Aged Care Home

Miranda Mason is a boldly designed, multi-level aged care home that marks the final stage of HammondCare’s 10-year masterplan for its Bellingara Street site in Miranda. This innovative facility offers a purpose-built, dementia-focused environment, integrating best-practice design features to deliver high-quality, relationship-based care.

The three-level facility comprises 60 beds spread across six separate apartments, each with ten residents. The design follows HammondCare’s world-class cottage model, creating a homelike atmosphere with central domestic kitchens, single ensuite rooms, and direct access to outdoor spaces, including generous sweeping balconies that link living areas to end sitting rooms. The building’s multi-storey configuration takes advantage of the site’s natural slope, providing direct access to outdoor spaces on all levels.

Features:

  • Residential Layout: Six apartments, each housing ten residents to promote a homelike and supportive environment.
  • Accommodation: Single rooms with ensuites, ensuring privacy and comfort.
  • Community Amenities: Ground floor facilities include a general store, multi-purpose room, and recreational spaces for residents and visitors.
  • Accessibility: Direct access to community facilities from the main entry along the internal road from Bellingara Road and Kiama Street, with basement car parking accessible via Kiama Street.
  • Sustainability: Equipped with a green roof and solar panels, enhancing the building’s environmental performance.

Community Impact
Miranda Mason provides much-needed accommodation for people with dementia in Sydney’s south, addressing the demand for aged care from the adjacent HammondGrove Independent Living Units and across the Sutherland Shire. The facility extends the range of aged care options at the Miranda site, complementing existing dementia-specific residential care, independent living units, and respite cottage places.
