Regis Milpara Lodge - Blackburn South

Genuine inclusiveness emanates from Regis Milpara Lodge, the welcoming low care residence within Regis Inala Village in the leafy Melbourne suburb of Blackburn South.

The place brims with life, especially in the communal areas of our music room, TV room, sun lounge and activity room, where residents love getting involved together.

Much of the camaraderie at Milpara Lodge stems from the close relationships between residents and their connection with our long term staff. Their knowledge, dedication and friendship help create a heart-warming home.

Milpara Lodge's energy also comes from our invigorating activities, like cooking, embroidery, quizzes, bingo, craft sessions, card games, footy tipping in winter, weekly devotions and our barbecues - whatever the weather!

A wonderful insight into our cultural diversity can been read, literally, in our cultural newspaper room where we offer recent publications in Chinese, Italian, Russian and various Baltic languages.

The natural extension of the rich cultural diversity among Milpara Lodge's residents is our celebrations. We recognise all cultural festivities through the year, including the Indian Festival of Light, Bastille Day, Chinese New Year and St Patrick's Day.

In fact, the village festival calendar is one long and fascinating celebration. Every month, one cultural festivity or another provides inspiration and enjoyment for residents across the entire community.

This wonderful mix of people, diverse cultures and characters is one of many benefits that Milpara Lodge residents have by being part of Inala Village - an exciting combination of communities across almost 10 hectares of greenery, great places to walk and relax.

Everything centres around a village hub, a bustling place alive with coffee shop conversations of residents and their families, a small well-stocked supermarket and even its own weekly banking service.

Milpara Lodge is an integral part of the broader Inala Village community, which also includes Inala Lodge and Alawarra Lodge - residences which each provide equally lovely homes and dedicated care.

The well-being of our residents is helped considerably by healthy cuisine. Our dietician-approved menu provides a large range of alternative options according to diet specifics, and residents always get to consult on inclusions.

The village offers our residents a diversity of entertainment on a weekly basis, including wonderful visits from school children, scouts and guides. We're also extremely pleased to have a close relationship with the nearby Bunnings store. They generously offer a host of creative injections for our residents, including guided tours, donated craft and gardening materials.

Tailored to specific requirements and abilities of residents, the village's lively program of regular activities is simply magic.

With local shops in front and behind us, a bus route past the door, the nearby Laburnum train station and regular excursions galore, Inala Village and Milpara Lodge is certainly in the heart of Melbourne. But step into our spacious garden community and you'll appreciate why we're called the country in the city.

Milpara Lodge residents are also able to take advantage of the following services on offer:

* on-site hairdressing and beauty therapy
* day therapy activities
* volunteer program
* experienced in-house chef and catering staff
* special dietary requirements met

Residents receive all the benefits of the Regis Group's living care model of responsive support provided by leading professionals and tailored to individual medical, cultural and religious preferences.
