Intellectual experiences
Many of our Mildura aged care residents enjoy the challenge of stretching their minds with creative writing, word games, quizzes, story writing, jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, current affairs, poetry or reading.
Reminiscence is a pastime enjoyed by many, as it rekindles memories and secures a feeling of self-assurance. Our Mildura retirement village staff coordinate residents and family meetings to gain invaluable information for lifestyle planning.
Library services
The library is a cosy area situated in the private dining room, housing a variety of large print books and magazines. All material is available on loan to residents. Residents are welcome to use this area. There are also tea and coffee facilities available in the Activities Centre.
The Mildura Library offers a free exchange and delivery service directly to residents’ rooms. This is a popular service and recommended to aged care residents who enjoy reading. Contact the Mildura Library or Lifestyle Officers for further information.
Technology connection to families
We provide supported assistance to residents at our aged care facilities in Mildura, to connect to families who now often live away from the area or during times when face to face communication is not available. Our activities staff are happy to support residents through linking up with phone, tablets or computers. Wifi is available throughout the facility.
