Tasty and nutritious meals

Meals are cooked daily onsite by a qualified chef in consultation with the dietitian. The menu is regularly rotated to promote choice and take advantage of what is in season. Each meal has a selection of high protein, vegetarian and modified options. We also cater for special dietary and cultural requirements.

Nutrition programs can also be organised as required.

Exercise and wellbeing programs

We take fun quite seriously! The Centre has a dedicated Lifestyle team that organises daily activities based on the suggestions of residents through regular resident meetings. These include concerts, shopping trips, visiting entertainers, gardening, movies and many more. Regular and personalised exercise programs are also arranged in conjunction with our Lifestyle team, such as physiotherapy four times a week. We also have a hairdresser who visits us weekly in our onsite salon.

For those who wish to enjoy some quiet time, there are private spots in the gardens, library and lounge rooms to relax in, as well as a recreational room for individual activities. We have close connections with the local schools and volunteer groups, keeping our residents engaged and active within the community.

Visiting health specialists

Scheduled visits from the local GP and other Allied Health services as needed, including podiatrist, speech therapist, occupational therapist, optometrist and audiologist.

Spiritual and chaplaincy services

We have a holistic model of care. The Centre Chaplains play an important role in bringing this to life. We also have a chapel located onsite. Whatever your beliefs, our Chaplains are here to assist in your spiritual and emotional journey, if you wish - because we don't have clients, only family.
