This aged care home consists of four houses: three are residential with ten occupants each, and the fourth serves as the administrative center, also housing a main dining room, hairdressing salon, and laundry. Each residential house has a homelike breakfast area, while lunches and dinners are served in the communal dining room.
Residents benefit from a secure garden with BBQ facilities, fresh daily meals, and 24/7 access to medical and personal care, thanks to proximity to Kilmore and District Hospital. They may select their own doctors and have onsite pathology services.
A robust activity program informed by resident interests is supported by Lifestyle staff, volunteers, and community groups. Visiting clergy further enrich the offerings, making the environment both comfortable and engaging.
