Lewisham, Charles O'Neill House

Charles O'Neill House is part of Catholic Care, a welfare agency of the Catholic Church, located along West Street in the inner west suburb of Lewisham. This contemporary building is the State Support Office of the St Vincent de Paul Society. The site includes a low-care hostel, high-care nursing home and self-care village.

  1. Wow! That doesn't look like your typical nursing facility. I wonder about the cost?

    1. I have no idea Linda, but there must be some money in aged care. Our population is aging and they're certainly building a lot of retirement villages.

  2. I would never have picked that building as a care home for us elderlies. It looks smart.

    This building is great.
    This very modern. It's not like a nursing home.

  12. Hi Jim, I'm the new kid on the block today.
    What a great complex! Someone must have had an inspired (excuse pun) vision which eventually has become reality. I hope charity doesn't stop there and that their facilities are open to anyone irrespective of means.
