De Paul Manor Estate
Completed in 2010, De Paul Manor Estate is a retirement community on the Gold Coast that is owned and operated by Ozcare and is part of a broader ready-made community along Edmund Rice Drive that encompasses the Mary Immaculate Church, primary and secondary schools, child care and the award winning De Paul Villa Aged Care facility. There is a focus on positive relationships and networks that offer many opportunities for interaction, activities and social times within the Community. Although De Paul Manor Estate is located within a Christian environment there is no requirement for intending residents to have any particular religious affiliation.
