Catholic Healthcare reopens newly refurbished Warnervale Wellness Centre
On Friday, 17 October 2025, Catholic Healthcare celebrated the official opening of the newly refurbished Warnervale Wellness Centre with a blessing ceremony led by the Very Reverend Dr David Ranson VG PP, Vicar General of the Diocese of Broken Bay.
The Honourable Emma McBride, Federal Member for Dobell, officially reopened the Centre after a welcoming address by Catholic Healthcare CEO, Josh McFarlane.
Open five days a week, the Warnervale Wellness Centre now offers an expanded range of activities and services designed to promote wellbeing, social engagement and independence for older members of the Central Coast community.
New services include:
- Mind and Move, offering a variety of classes and activities such as strength, balance and flexibility training, dance and musical theatre, visual arts, and social outings.
- Allied Health Services, providing physiotherapy, podiatry, and one-on-one clinical interventions to support recovery and functional health.
Those interested in Day Respite can experience the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the Warnervale Wellness Centre with a trial visit.
'Coming to the Centre gives me a lot of confidence and makes me feel really good. Here I can talk to people about how I feel and I’m heard. I love most of the things we do at the centre: my favourite part is painting. I love painting and I like that I have the time here to do it, because when I paint I go into my own world. I like it that I can do what I choose to do,’ said Sharyn Lenton, Warnervale Wellness Centre client.
‘We take great pride in the Warnervale Wellness Centre and the dedicated team who support our clients with quality day respite and meaningful social activities. Research shows that regular social connection and physical activity can improve overall health. That’s why creating more opportunities for meaningful activities that help older people thrive isn’t just a nice to have. This is our everyday commitment,’ said Catholic Healthcare CEO Josh McFarlane
The redesigned Centre features a warm, homelike environment filled with natural light, where clients can enjoy nutritious meals and participate in a variety of engaging activities. The space has been thoughtfully created to foster a sense of belonging.
The reopening of the Warnervale Wellness Centre is part of Catholic Healthcare’s broader investment in aged care services across the Central Coast. The opening of Holy Cross Residential Care Home in Kincumber later this year will further expand our footprint and commitment to supporting older Australians.
