How residents unwind at HillView Care

At HillView Care, we’ve created a warm and engaging community where each one of our residents is supported to enjoy life and meaningful connections. From the moment residents arrive at our Gold Coast aged care homes, they’re welcomed with comfortable, private rooms with ensuites, some with beautiful views of the Gold Coast skyline. 

Our Ashmore and Merrimac residential aged care homes are nestled in peaceful areas of the coast, creating a “home away from home” atmosphere. With cosy communal areas, and beautiful gardens, our residents can choose how they’d like to spend their day – whether it’s reading a book, chatting over a cuppa, or soaking up the sunshine.

Engaging lifestyle activities

Maintaining our resident’s well-being is key, and our lifestyle team goes far beyond just organising bingo games for our residents. They work with residents to deliver personalised activities that foster creativity, memory, and social bonds.

Residents can get involved in a range of different activities and events, from art and craft sessions to board and card games, music concerts and sing‑alongs, and trivia nights and cultural celebrations.

Active bodies for healthy minds

Physical health and emotional well-being go hand in hand – so our on‑site physiotherapy team oversees a 12‑week Wellness Program that tailors exercise routines to each resident’s goals and abilities. 

Gentle gym classes, walking groups in our stunning grounds, and one‑on‑one physiotherapy sessions help maintain mobility, balance, and strength. Many residents notice improvements in day‑to‑day activities and a boost in their mood and confidence after participating in our wellness program. 

Delicious dining experiences

Sharing meals together is a great way to relax and connect with others. Our in‑house chefs prepare fresh, nutritious meals daily, catering to all dietary needs and personal tastes. HillView Care residents enjoy a beautiful menu of meals, from nourishing breakfasts to three‑course dinners. Special occasion meals and fun themed dinners add extra excitement, turning every mealtime into a social event to look forward to.

Personal care and pampering

For some residents, a little bit of pampering goes a long way to help them unwind. Our on‑site hair and beauty salons offer haircuts, manicures, and grooming services that help residents look and feel their best. Our grounds provide perfect spots for reading or simply enjoying the peace – and if a resident needs a chat, our compassionate care team is always on hand to listen.

Connecting with family and community  

Building connections is vital for residents, especially those who feel lonely or isolated. We ensure residents have flexible family visits, support for video calls, and we organise regular community outings – whether it’s a local shopping trip, or a coffee at a café. 

At HillView Care, our monthly social calendar is packed with events that bring residents, families, and local community groups together, building friendships and a true sense of belonging 

Getting out enjoying the fresh air

Fresh air and nature are great ways to soothe the soul. Our beautifully landscaped gardens and courtyards allow residents to unwind and enjoy the outdoors.

Lifelong learning and growth

Learning should never end, that’s why we invite guest speakers and host hands‑on classes to help residents keep their minds stimulated and discover new interests. Every class or workshop is an opportunity for our residents to learn and connect for personal growth and connection. 

Unwinding at our Gold Coast aged care homes

At HillView Care, unwinding isn’t just about slowing down, we like to embrace every day with purpose and joy. Our holistic approach ensures residents not only relax but thrive both physically and mentally.
