Estia Health successfully acquires Vacenti’s seven aged care homes

Estia Health has successfully completed the acquisition of seven residential aged care homes previously operated by Vacenti Aged Care: 

• Estia Health increases investment and presence in Brisbane, Queensland 
• Continuity of employment for home based Vacenti employees 
• Smooth transition ensures uninterrupted care for all residents 

Estia Health is pleased to confirm the successful acquisition of Vacenti Aged Care’s seven homes in Brisbane. This includes six operating homes located in Hamilton, Coorparoo, Carindale, Mount Gravatt East, Victoria Point, and Birkdale, as well as a new home nearing completion in Cleveland.

Sean Bilton, CEO of Estia Health said, “We are delighted that we are able to increase our commitment of care and services for older people through the management of approximately 750 additional residential aged care places across these seven homes. Providing greater presence in Brisbane to complement our existing home in Albany Creek, and homes in the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast regions.” 

The transition process has been completed smoothly, with Estia Health ensuring all residents, families and employees were fully supported throughout the ownership change. All home-based employees from the newly acquired homes were offered employment with Estia Health, where they will benefit from the additional career development and training opportunities available within a larger organisation.

“We are pleased for the opportunity to continue the legacy created by the Casagrande family. We want to assure all residents and their families that they will continue to receive the same dedicated care from the same people that they always have,” Bilton said. “As a provider of 94 residential aged care homes across Australia, we are proud to offer individualised person-centred care and support to our residents and their families at an incredibly important time in their lives.” 

This successful integration represents Estia Health’s ongoing commitment to providing exceptional aged care services to older Australians.
