| Beth Eden |
Only 8 km from the heart of Brisbane, Beth Eden Riverside Village occupies a beautiful, tranquil site fronting the Brisbane River at leafy Graceville. (No part of the built environment has been flood-affected.) The name, Beth Eden, means “House of Pleasantness”. There is much that is “pleasant” about the living environment of Beth Eden Riverside Village! Heritage-listed “Verney House” (1888), the elegant centrepiece of Beth Eden, lends an almost “boutique” feel to the village.
Clustered around the aged care facility are 25 independent living units. Residents of units, while independent, join in the social and spiritual life of Beth Eden. Residential Aged Care Facility (61 beds including 1 Respite place) Beth Eden Riverside Village has a warm, “family” atmosphere, the product of deliberate efforts to make the facility as home-like as possible. There is an almost “boutique” feel to the facility, with its leafy, riverside location and elegant, 1888, heritage-listed centrepiece called “Verney House”. The fruits of ongoing upgrading are already evident, particularly in “Verney House”, much of which has been restored to its former glory. Besides its ideal size – not too big and not too small, Beth Eden is blessed with:
Independent Living Units (25) Located at leafy Graceville, only 8 km from the heart of Brisbane, these one- or two-bedroom units are eminently affordable – in fact, the one-bedroom units are priced from as low as $120,000. Older units have been refurbished, some externally as well as internally, with some, along with many of the newer (1997) two-bedroom units having lovely river views. Certain units could be used for “serviced apartment” living (or non-subsidised “low care” accommodation), suiting mobile residents with negligible personal/ clinical care needs. |
