Activities

MONTHLY PROGRAMME

The Centre operates with a proposed monthly activities programme.  This programme is very flexible and often varied due to a better offer e.g. last minute invitation to community event, or the weather.  All Guests are encouraged to participate in activities offered but the Guest has the final choice based on individual preference.

ACTIVITIES

Activities at the Centre include board games, air hockey, pool, quizzes, card games, bingo, musical programmes, gentle exercise, indoor bowls, craft, outings e.g. picnics, bus trips, community entertainment, information mornings, pokies, trips down memory lane and many more.  At the Senior Citizens Day Respite Centre, we celebrate every event known to man.  Therefore, numerous celebration days and special events are programmed during the year.
