Residents are supported by a dedicated team of qualified and well-trained staff and have access to allied health professionals. Our Mildura retirement village staff and volunteers organise a wide range of activities and social events, visiting entertainment and community outings.
Each resident also enjoys the privacy of their own spacious room which includes their own ensuite. All the buildings at Princes Court Homes are of a high living standard and improvements are continuous with a refurbishment program in place.
