Residents at Moyola Aged Care have been working together to cook up a new batch of Moyola’s Tomato relish. Not only is it famous amongst the Tatura community for its flavour, but it’s a positive and rewarding way for residents to maintain their independence.

Working collaboratively, residents share their tips and tricks from a lifetime of cooking. Cooking is one of the ways that Moyola creates an atmosphere of home for its residents.

Thank you to the local growers that donated their produce for the relish making, Moyola is always so grateful to be a part of such a community minded town.

Moyola’s residents always look forward to relish making day and enjoy the opportunity to socialise while cooking.

“Aside from the joy it brings our residents, it has been proven that cooking in aged care encourages social interactions between residents, as well as stimulating senses and improving motor skills” said CEO, Polly Devine.

The relish is available for purchase at reception, all proceeds go back to Moyola. Moyola Aged Care is located at 60 Hunter Street, Tatura and can be contacted on 5824 2274.
