Lifestyle and amenities

Our aged care residences offer exceptional lifestyle programs, tailored to individual interests and needs.

Enriching Daily Life

At VMCH, we believe aged care should be more than just support. It should be enriching, engaging and joyful. That’s why our lifestyle programs are thoughtfully designed to reflect the interests, abilities and preferences of each resident.

Meaningful Activities and Wellbeing

Our dedicated team of staff and volunteers work closely with residents to create meaningful experiences every day. In addition to regular religious services such as Mass and rosary, residents can enjoy a variety of activities that promote physical, emotional and social wellbeing.
