Lifestyle & Wellbeing

At Taralga, we aim to support the social, physical and emotional needs of each individual.

Our Independent Living Unit residents are also invited to join for numerous activities.
 
Some of our daily activities include: 
  • Exercises

  • Card and board games
  • Quizzes and word games
  • Bingo
  • Live Music Performances
  • Cooking 
  • Courtyard BBQs
  • Happy Hour
  • Arts & Crafts
  • Garden Club
  • Animal Visits
  • Bus Outings
  • Ecumenical Church Services
​
Special occasions and Birthdays are celebrated in style and family and friends are invited to join us for special functions throughout the year such as a Mother's Day High Tea, Melbourne Cup Luncheon, and Christmas. 
A Hairdresser visits onsite monthly. 
Ecumenical Church Services are offered by local church volunteers.  
 
Monthly activity programs are developed by our Diversional Therapists and provided to each of our residents. A calendar of our program is published here

"We want to support our residents to have access to the activities and supports that allow them to live the life they choose." 

Health Care & Allied Health Services
In addition to access to a doctor on call 24/7, we arrange a General Practioner to visit weekly for consultations. A Physiotherapist visits weekly and Podiatrist visits monthly.
Other allied health services such as dietician, speech pathologist, occupational therapist, and diabetic educators can also be arranged for consults. 
Community Engagement 

Taralga is part of a small rural community that brings strengths and opportunities only a country town can bring. We look out for one another and have built strong relationships with many local community groups.

An example being our collaborations with the students from Jandowae P-10 State School for activities such as Book Week, Easter Parade, Reading Month, and cooking classes. Residents are given the opportunity to attend the local Men's Shed who gather every Thursday for woodworking and chats. We are fortunate to have regular live music performances on-site from local artists and musicians. We encourage our residents to engage in community activities and local events such as the Jandowae Show, Timbertown Festival and Anzac Day.  
Meals on Wheels Service
We are partners with the Jandowae Meals on Wheels Inc delivering freshly prepared nutritious meals from our Kitchen to local vulnerable and ageing consumers in their homes. This service is accessible by our Independent Living Units residents with multiple funding options.
