OPINION: Closure of Bulahdelah Nursing Home Opinion by News Of The Area - Modern Media - March 16, 2022 DEAR News Of The Area, ANGLICAN Church Aged Care. What a wonderful, caring, compassionate organisation. Purchased Bulahdelah Nursing Home from the local community in 2017 for the princely sum of $1.00. Now they move away, dumping the residents and loyal staff without a thought for the community…except for the big dollars they will get when the prime real estate is sold. A big windfall for the $1.00 they paid. Local families will also be devastated at having to travel long distances to visit loved ones. The sale to Anglicare should not have been permitted in the first place. What a mercenary, unchristian lot they are. The recent sale of the Anglican Church at Dyers Crossing (established and paid for by the local Community) is another example of the Church hierarchy abandoning its locals and expecting the parishioners to worship elsewhere. Church management cares about the money and the bottom line, nothing else. They are a disgrace. What can we do to take back the Nursing Home and do it properly like before? Regards, Peter MCKENZIE, Wang Wauk.
If it is true that Anglicare paid just $1.00 for the the aged care facility that the towns people of Bulahdelah raised the money to build in the first place then the Bishop should have the compassion and common decency to hand it back to the town to rectify and open again , so what is his plan ,to sell it to the highest bidder and take the money, doesn’t sound very Christian to me.
