Aurrum Aged Care has announced the completion of its extensive $3.8 million refurbishment of it’s Norah Head facility, where the residents themselves got a say in the decor and landscaping choices.

Aurrum Norah Head is billed as a homely and boutique aged care residence featuring a new entry and reception area as well as a new main dining room with interior designer features.

The dining room has a striking art piece of nearby Norah Head lighthouse which was chosen by the residents to highlight their local area.

There is a new indoor/outdoor cafe with deluxe, unlimited coffee for residents and their families.

All 53 resident rooms are single rooms with private ensuite and have doors that lead straight onto the secure beautiful natural surrounds.

One of the highlights of the sunny landscaped gardens is a new inviting central courtyard.
