Our Story
In the 1990s the organisation developed Cabrini Retirement Village to allow for 11 Independent Living Units for people who wanted to be part of the Villa Terenzio community and have the reassurance of support close by.
In 2007, 2 new secure dementia specific areas were added to the complex to address the prevalence of dementia and the associated behaviours and psychological deficits associated with dementia. This development included the construction of a new administration area that included a large recreation room that is home to a day therapy centre 3 days a week.
In 2017, Villa Terenzio was able to expand its services to providing home care. This has proved to be an excellent service enabling older people to remain in their own homes for a longer period before moving into residential care.
Villa Terenzio Today
Most recently, in 2019 a new building named Casa Cabrini was opened. This allowed for the provision of high level nursing care in a dementia friendly environment. The complex is located on extensive grounds in the suburb of Marangaroo, and also hosts a number of independent living units and St Joseph’s Chapel which hold daily services. It is home to the Order of The Sisters of the Lovers of the Holy Cross who provide support to the residents who wish to remain active in their catholic faith and those who seek spiritual counsel.
