Life and Wellbeing

When you choose Westgate Aged Care you’ve chosen home – and all homes need visitors! Whether it’s your son or daughter, old neighbour or busy grandchildren, having friends and family pop in for a visit is an important part of life. Your guests are welcome to enjoy a tea or coffee in the café, relax in the outdoor courtyard area, dine in the private dining room or visit your room for a more personal catch-up.

We believe involvement in social activities and local interests are great for boosting self-esteem and keeping you young at heart.  We offer a wide range of social and cultural activities to suit all tastes. The activities program is run by our professional lifestyle team and includes morning and afternoon teas, group discussions, self-expression through music, visiting entertainers, gardening, exercise, therapies, cooking, crafts and even happy hours!

You’re invited to sit down in the generous dining areas and enjoy our range of delicious and nutritious meals. Our carefully selected menus are created with dietician advice and cater for all tastes and desires.

All our catering is provided in-house, which means the Chef can cater specifically to your dietary needs. And when it comes to meal ideas, we’d love to hear from you! We invite all our residents to have a say in the variety of meal choices and cuisines on offer.

We believe enjoying a great meal is an important part of life, that’s why we welcome your friends and family to dine with you in our private dining room.
