Regis Sherwood Park - Junction Village

Everyone at Regis Sherwood Park is excited to be part of a go-ahead new area like Cranbourne. Especially because we're tucked away in one of the quietest, most established parts of this bustling outer eastern suburb of Melbourne.

Set within the leafy residential precinct of Junction Village, Sherwood Park has the best of all worlds. We're within easy reach of a comprehensive range of local shopping centres and city-style services, and the beautiful hinterland beckons as an everyday escape. We've got lush and green Gippsland in one direction and in another, direct freeway access to the city.

Our residents love their excursions, which range from weekly trips to shops and cafes to forthcoming journeys farther afield, like Phillip Island to see the penguins and koalas.

A real favourite with our keen gardeners is the Cranbourne Botanic Gardens - a wonderland of native plants and landscapes that is literally around the corner. It's captivating expanse inspires our own much-admired gardens.

The bushland and rural idyll around us is in tune with the comfortable country vibe of Sherwood Park, which comes as much from our friendly residents and staff as the nearby herb farms and horse paddocks.

Speaking of horses, another attraction appreciated by residents is our proximity to the Cranbourne Racecourse, with its variety of social and sporting opportunities. Between the track and the gardens, we consider ourselves very lucky to have such excitingly different cultural pursuits on our doorstep.

In-house options are equally varied. Like our Brain Gym, an inspiring activity endorsed by Alzheimer's Australia that helps residents stay as 'on the ball' as possible. It involves 10 minutes of thinking-specific exercises, which participants love so much we often see them rushing from their rooms in order not to be late.

Supplementing our range of daily physical exercises is the popular Wii interactive game. The bowling feature is particularly well utilised by residents. Joining in the fun are the many energetic and engaging school students who visit us regularly as part of their community service programs.

At Sherwood Park, there's something for every interest and ability level, from our active low care residents to the close knit and well cared for group in our small dementia unit. The sincere relationships between residents and staff have been formed over many years. It is a longevity that pleases us greatly and underpins the closeness of our whole community.

Of course, wonderful food helps social cohesion as well as mental and physical acuity. It's one of the reasons why we're so proud of what's presented at mealtimes. That includes our delicious homemade cakes and assorted pastries - each a special treat for every palate.

Sherwood Park residents are also able to take advantage of the following services on offer:

* on-site hairdressing and beauty therapy
* 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.
