Chapman House: Seabrae Manor Aged Care Expands

At Seabrae Manor Aged Care, we have always believed that great care starts with great people. That belief sits at the heart of everything we have built, and it is firmly at the centre of our latest milestone: the opening of Chapman House, a new 37-bed wing that has expanded our capacity to support older people across the Moreton Bay community.

Chapman House is named after Janet Chapman, a long-standing leader who played a defining role in building the foundations of our organisation. From developing care frameworks to setting the standards that shape how we work today, Janet's contribution has been extraordinary. Naming this new wing after her is our way of recognising that, and of honouring the values she brought to everything she has and continues to do.

Why This Expansion Matters Demand for aged care places across the Moreton Bay region continues to outpace supply. Families are waiting longer than they should, and the pressure on hospitals and the broader health system is growing as a result. The additional 37 beds at Chapman House are already making a difference. Residents who now call it home, and the families supporting them, are feeling it first.

Andrew Meek, CEO of Castalia Group, explained the thinking behind the expansion: "At Castalia, everything starts with people - our residents, their families, and our team. Janet embodies the values we stand for. Recognising her in this way reflects not only her extraordinary contribution, but our belief that great care is built by great people."

A Name With Meaning For Janet Chapman, the recognition is deeply meaningful. "To be part of something that supports both residents and the people who care for them is incredibly special" she said. It is a sentiment that captures exactly what Chapman House is about: a place built on care, shaped by experience, and named to reflect the people who made it possible.
