Making every day social: Activities and community at HillView

One of the best ways to enjoy a happy and healthy life in residential aged care on the Gold Coast is to stay social! Staying connected with friends, family, and fellow residents boosts mood, supports memory and improves well-being. 

At HillView Care, we make it easy for residents to stay active and engaged every day.

Fun, social and engaging lifestyle activities

At our Gold Coast aged care homes, our residents live a very active lifestyle. Our lifestyle team creates activities that encourage fun, reduce stress and help residents foster friendships and social connections. 

Our activities are designed to suit all interests and abilities, and can be one-on-one or in small or larger groups, so every resident has the chance to participate. 

Some of the activities our residents enjoy include:

  • Bingo and bocce
    Poetry and social morning teas
  • BBQ nights and ice-cream socials
  • Exercise, music, and happy hours

If your loved one has limited mobility, there’s no need to worry. We offer a range of indoor activities and outings into the community so everyone can be involved.

Spaces to relax in comfort

Our Merrimac and Ashmore residential aged care homes are designed to give residents spaces to relax in comfort. Whether it’s sitting for a chat in one of our cozy lounges or strolling through beautiful gardens. We have the perfect spots to relax, socialise, or celebrate special occasions. For parties or events, our café staff can cater to functions.
