Under the SA Health Transforming Health program, the $32 million invested at Modbury has upgraded two existing wards for rehabilitation patients and the construction of a new Rehabilitation Facility (SpARC), which sets a new benchmark for day rehabilitation treatment facilities in South Australia. It has been shaped around three pods of activity: a hydrotherapy pool, generic treatment spaces and specialist treatment spaces.
Since many patients and families attend the facility for several hours at a time, the building is designed to bring light into the public areas. The hydrotherapy pool features an optically clear film that lets light in while maintaining privacy.
