Each staff member has undergone reference and security checks to ensure they are fully qualified, experienced and are passionate about working in the aged care sector. Our staff undergo ongoing training to make sure they are up to speed with the latest processes and knowledge. Emotional intelligence and sensitivity to diversity are other key factors that we take into consideration when recruiting staff into our Centre.

Mountain View Aged Care Centre offers single rooms, all with private ensuites. All rooms have bay windows and sliding glass doors providing convenient access to our gardens, and all bathrooms have angled ceilings and skylights allowing in plenty of natural light.

Each room has:

• 24-hour emergency call system
• Telephone and TV connection available
• Built-in cupboards
• Electronically adjustable beds and bedside table

This is your home and you are most welcome to bring in your own favourite items - photos, mementos and accessories - to dress the room to your own taste and preferences.*

*All items must meet the Centre's work, health and safety guidelines. 

Our approach to dementia care is led by each person's interests, feelings and emotions. We respect the rich lives they have led by tailoring our care based on their personal history in a dedicated dementia-friendly environment. 

Meals are cooked daily onsite by a qualified chef in consultation with the dietitian. The menu is regularly rotated to promote choice and take advantage of what is in season. Each meal has a selection of high protein, vegetarian and modified options. We also cater for special dietary and cultural requirements. 

Nutrition programs can also be organised as required.

We take fun quite seriously. The Centre has a dedicated Lifestyle team that organises daily activities based on the suggestions of residents via resident meetings including animal therapy, regular visiting entertainers, bus trips, shopping trips, gardening, painting, celebrations, music activities and collaborations with local schools.

We offer:

• Onsite hairdressing salon with hairdresser visiting 4 times a week
• Theatre and recreational room
• Books and DVDs delivered to residents from local library
• Exercise area
• Centre bus

We have a twice-weekly physiotherapy falls prevention class, walking groups and a podiatry and massage room when needed to maintain residents' physical wellbeing. Additionally, our Lifestyle team incorporates exercise into their activities a few times a week.

Scheduled visits from the local GP and other Allied Health services as needed, including physiotherapist, podiatrist, occupational therapist and optometrist.

We have a holistic model of care. The Centre Chaplains play an important role in bringing this to life. We also have a chapel onsite. Whatever your beliefs, our Chaplains are here to assist in your spiritual and emotional journey, if you wish - because we don't have clients, only family.
