The Italian Village services the elderly within the Italian population as well as many other nationalities who enjoy the good food and culture found at this home. The Village hosts many special events during the year where residents and the Community come and join together in the special feast days, Mass and Rosary, Christmas family BBQ and many other significant celebrations such as Mother's and Father's days. This ensures that Residents at the Italian Village remain an integral part of their Community.

We believe that older people should have opportunities to continue to grow and experience new challenges if they wish. Activities at the village include the traditional bingo, cards, cooking, concerts and outings, however we do also have art classes, gentle exercise and dancing, armchair holiday travel and a la carte dinner parties. Our various activities staff are constantly researching new and exciting ways to lighten resident's days and evenings.
