Men’s Morning
Another weekly activity is Men’s Morning at the community Men’s Shed located on the grounds of Mt View Homes. The male residents are able to enjoy the company of other males in the community. They can play cards, 8 Ball, or just sit back with a cuppa. Some things they have made are an AFL ladder, welcome signs for the front door, and other little things, like coat hooks and mail holders.
Outings
Residents have the opportunity to go on regular outings to the many great locations in the Southern Flinders Ranges. Monthly bus outings take our residents out into the community to see the sights, to enjoy good food and to make new friends.
Once a month a social afternoon is held with entertainment and a delicious afternoon tea for our residents. Community members are invited to join the afternoon’s events.
