Project Update | Mercy Place, East Melbourne
Refurbishment works are progressing well at Mercy Health’s residential aged care facility in East Melbourne, where the Total Special Projects team in Victoria are delivering upgrades designed to enhance the comfort and experience of residents.
A key challenge of the project has been completing construction works within a fully operational aged care environment. Drawing on extensive experience working in high-risk live environments, the team has successfully managed works while maintaining the safety and wellbeing of residents, staff and visitors. Key measures onsite include:
- Hoarding off all work zones to separate residents and staff from construction activities.
- Proactively managing noise and dust.
- Regular toolbox talks focused on the sensitivities of working within an occupied aged care facility.
- Staging works to ensure social activities and communal events can continue, while allowing residents to enjoy newly completed areas as soon as they become available.
Residents have taken a genuine interest in the project, enjoying the opportunity to watch the transformation unfold. The reception upgrade is the centrepiece of the current stage of works, and both residents and staff are looking forward to the completion of this welcoming new environment.
