Welcome

Mountain View Aged Care Centre offers a cosy and vibrant home with a strong sense of community. Our professional and compassionate team go beyond the clinical to ensure that residents feel comfortable, safe and loved.

Our single-level residence has beautiful landscaped gardens and courtyards, and is surrounded by mountain and suburban views. The Centre has been designed with residents’ convenience, security and belonging in mind with plenty of natural lighting, spacious rooms, many outdoor areas, wide corridors and homely décor. Our dining room is colourful and communal and is the prime spot to see our beautiful mountain surroundings. We also have a unique glass-walled walkway near our chapel, that looks out upon our onsite pond with fish and aquatic wildlife.  

We recognise the importance of family, friends and supporters and encourage them to be an active part of our community.

Our Services

Mountain View Aged Care Centre offers permanent residential care including dementia care and palliative care; and respite (short-term) care. 

You will be in good hands with our care team of fully qualified and committed individuals who share The Salvation Army values of integrity, compassion, respect, diversity and collaboration. Your holistic wellbeing, including not only your physical health, but emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing, informs our approach to care.

24-hour care from our dedicated and professional staff

Each staff member has undergone reference and security checks to ensure they are fully qualified, experienced and are passionate about working in the aged care sector. Our staff undergo ongoing training to make sure they are up to speed with the latest processes and knowledge. Emotional intelligence and sensitivity to diversity are other key factors that we take into consideration when recruiting staff into our Centre.

Specialised dementia care

Our approach to dementia care is led by each person's interests, feelings and emotions. We respect the rich lives they have led by tailoring our care based on their personal history in a dedicated dementia-friendly environment. 

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 via resident meetings including animal therapy, regular visiting entertainers, bus trips, shopping trips, gardening, painting, celebrations, music activities and collaborations with local schools.

We offer:

• Onsite hairdressing salon with hairdresser visiting 4 times a week
• Theatre and recreational room
• Books and DVDs delivered to residents from local library
• Exercise area
• Centre bus

We have a twice-weekly physiotherapy falls prevention class, walking groups and a podiatry and massage room when needed to maintain residents' physical wellbeing. Additionally, our Lifestyle team incorporates exercise into their activities a few times a week.

Visiting health specialists

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

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 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.
