Our caring and clinically experienced allied health team works hard to optimise the health and wellbeing of residents to help them reach their own personal goals, such as:

• Increasing strength
• Improving endurance
• Extending flexibility
• Enhancing balance
• Learning alternate ways to manage tasks
• Staying independent
• Meeting new people and maintaining friendships
• Discovering or rediscovering some wonderful activities

One of the most accessed services is our Pain Management Program - staff provide pain relief via massage, a TENS Machine (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) or apply a heat pack to help those aches and pains diminish.

We also have great groups where you can learn meditation and sensory mindfulness; meet like -minded people to chat about news and current affairs; exercise through "Walks Around the World", Tai Chi or in groups to build strength, balance and mobility. All wonderful ways to renew, inspire and get more from your day.

If you have a Home Care Package, we can organise a specialist Home Care consultation for you with no obligations.
