Aged Care Activities
Our Leisure and Lifestyle Co-ordinator runs an interactive monthly program of fun aged care activities that cater to the leisure-related interests of our residents, including:
- Allowing residents to continue to pursue their personal hobbies and interests, where possible.
- Enabling residents to maintain a connection with their leisure communities. For example, if a resident was a former lifeguard, s/he can continue to be part of that community, with our support.
- Weekly bus trips, including lunch outings such as fish and chips or a trip to the local club.
- Arts and craft, and cooking classes.
- Exercise classes, including Tai Chi, yoga and physical games such as chair tennis, bowling, golf and gardening.
- Bingo and card games.
- Reminiscence, group discussions and news/quiz sessions.
- Church services/clergy visits and holy communion.

- Sing-along and other forms of entertainment from the broader community.
- Pamper sessions such as nail care.
- Recognition of cultural days, such as ANZAC Day.
