PresCare Groundwater Lodge is built on several acres of landscaped property in the Maryborough suburb of Granville (Adjacent to the Fraser Coast). PresCare also offers Inspired Community Care Packages for this area from our office in Pialba (Wide Bay) see the second part of this profile for details.
In 2006 'PresCare Groundwater Lodge' won an Award in the Professional Services Category for Customer Service. This home emphasises the concept of making the environment as homely as possible. This includes a number of pets communally cared for by residents onsite, meals in one's own room, outdoor pergola areas, musical events, involvement with schools, arts and crafts and a number of other creative endeavours.
The original 30 beds have now been complemented with a modern Special Care Unit opened in 2004, comprising 2 separated 10 bed units (20 beds) providing the uniqueness of assisting residents with daily activities to maintain their independence. A further 10 modern rooms have since been added to the home making the majority of this home, the most modern of all of our facilities.
