Dr Sid Lau purchased Sylvan Lodge Nursing Home (Toowong) in 1989 as an ongoing concern. It was an exciting day in 2000 when the residents transferred from Sylvan Lodge in Toowong to the new building, Forest Lake Lodge in Forest Lake. The new building was based on a village concept with the central lounge acting like a village centre.
