LIFESTYLE CHOICES

We offer a wide range of social, cultural and spiritual activities to suit any lifestyle. Our residents are encouraged to learn new things, and have new experiences, while continuing to enjoy their usual activities.

It is important to us to provide you with activities that matter to you and that you can indulge in with friends and family.

Maintaining an active social life is vital to maintaining mental, physical and spiritual health. Our social activities are an opportunity for some light-hearted fun, to strengthen and create friendships and maybe have a laugh or two.

After all, as Charles Dickens wrote in A Christmas Carol, “There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.”

Social activities include

  • Poetry club
  • Arts & crafts, such as painting, quilting, embroidery
  • Music & entertainment
  • Karaoke
  • Bus excursions for regular resident outings
  • Memory quiz games
  • Cooking
  • Food related festivities and events, where families are invited

Staying as active as possible not only promotes physical & mental health, it also helps to maintain independence. Fairlea’s physical activities take into consideration the varying abilities of our residents, and we encourage you to take part as best as you can.

Physical activities include:

  • Tai Chi
  • Physical outdoor games
  • Dancing
  • Gardening

There are also rest and relaxation options such as:

  • Massages, including hand and foot spas
  • Aromatherapy and sensory stimulation
  • A range of large-print books available for the visually impaired
  • As a multicultural aged-care facility, we respect our residents’ diverse backgrounds and encourage traditional observances. We celebrate Chinese New Year, Anzac Day, Easter, Christmas, Melbourne Cup Day, Mothers’ Day, as well as a range of multicultural festivals. And of course, offer sumptuous international cuisine.

    We also provide:

    • Chinese speaking and multi-lingual staff
    • Ethnic DVDs, cable TV, and foreign language newspapers

    Fairlea residents are invited to take part in weekly church outings; while the less mobile are catered for in-house.

    Of course, if you or your loved one has specific requests, please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
