New Project Announcement – Helping Hand, Whyalla

Upgrade of two Whyalla aged care facilities improving the quality of care in regional communities.

Helping Hand has engaged Kennett to upgrade their Yeltana and Copperhouse Court residential aged care homes in Whyalla, providing additional quality care for local residents.

The project will be phased to minimise disruption to existing residents. This major investment with the assistance of federal government funding will deliver eight additional beds in total across the two homes, convert shared rooms into private rooms with ensuites, and create new communal spaces for dining and activities.

Kennett has previously delivered other regional developments for Helping Hand in Jamestown and Port Pirie. Kennett’s General Manager, Anthony Carbone said, “We’re committed to using local trades wherever possible for this project, which means this investment will create real opportunities for local tradespeople in Whyalla. We see building strong partnerships with local contractors as absolutely key to the success of this development.”
