IMAGINE a day that starts off with a trip to the hairdressers, followed by dining in a quaint courtyard before an afternoon spent socialising with friends, enjoying games by the bar and perhaps watching a movie.
Sounds like a day spent on a holiday cruise ship, right?
Living in a place where all these wonderful activities and facilities are at your doorstep is possible when you are a resident at Shepparton Villages.
Residents are settling into their new home at Mooroopna Place after Shepparton Villages opened 60 of the new 100 beds at the new $20M redeveloped residential care facility.
Campbell Court, which is the newly refurbished 60 bed wing at Mooroopna Place, houses a huge open dining area, outdoor courtyard, garden, a games and bar area, small lounge and mutli-purpose rooms as well as a private dining room and visitor room.
Residents from Acacia House, and some from Hakea Lodge and Maculata Place, moved in on February 2 and 3, with one resident describing it as “heaven” and another saying he felt like he was living at a resort. Residents are thrilled with the bright open design, with many taking advantage of the outdoor gardens and sheltered areas.
Varapodio Way has its own kitchen and dining area, two internal courtyards, lounges and reading nooks, a large activities space and a huge lounge and gathering area for games, socialisation and movie nights.
Residents will be able to move freely between both wings and access the central hairdressers, café area, wellness centre and visiting consulting suites.
The 40 bed Varapodio Way wing – a completely new building – will open on April 13, with a waiting list already well established. Inquiries can be made by calling Helen on 5832 0800.
