Bridgewater Aged Care, Roxburgh Park, to be Sold
ELEVEN months after being placed into administration, Roxburgh Park’s near-new Bridgewater aged care facility has been put up for public sale.
The 132-bed nursing home shut its doors late last year, forcing the relocation of residents who had paid large admission fees to buy into the five-year old Wedgewood Road facility. Bridgewater was reported to have breached several health regulations, but there were also examples of financial mismanagement, with the company owing creditors about $1.5 million, and staff about $500,000 in entitlements at the time of its collapse – money not expected to be repaid.
