Regis Valley Views - Gatton

Nestled in the fertile Lockyer Valley between Brisbane and Toowoomba, Regis Valley Views couldn't be more appropriately named. We're surrounded by the rolling hills of rich farming country - familiar territory to so many of our residents who have lived in the area all their lives.

The Lockyer Valley is known as one of Australia's best vegetable growing regions so it makes sense that our chef chooses new season vegetables as an important staple on our menus. Great food is integral to daily life here and residents enjoy having their say on what is served. Valley Views is all about resident's choice.

Located in the regional hub of Gatton, our spacious home offers the essence of country living; fresh air, beautiful views, manicured lawns and gardens and of course, wonderful country hospitality.

A strong sense of community is integral to the cosy atmosphere of Valley Views. To foster this we provide a comprehensive program of regular activities and events, which involve both high and low care residents. When the weather is fine, we slide open the doors to the veranda and mingle together in the sunshine.

Family is a big part of country living so we get plenty of visits from resident's children and grandchildren. They're welcomed for meals and because we don't have visiting hours, come and go as they please.

A fitting conclusion to our week is our Friday 'happy hour' when residents and their families enjoy singers and entertainers over refreshments. This inclusive approach matches our motto; 'our residents don't live in our workplace, we work in their home'.

Valley Views' extensive exercise program run by our physiotherapists is very popular, with each activity designed to strengthen muscles, increase mobility and balance. Low care activities include tai chi and, at present, our high care residents are thoroughly enjoying doing their twice-weekly routine to the chicken dance and the Macarena.

Residents immerse themselves in a swag of other organised pastimes, like woodworking, craft days and gardening galore. The rewards are evident; tubs brimming with vegetables and pot after pot of blooming geraniums.

Many health providers visit us too; a dentist, optometrist, podiatrist and speech pathologist among them, as well as our recent guests from the Asthma Foundation.

Adventures beyond our grounds include organised walks, picnics, town visits and bus trips like the recent tour of RAAF Amberley Air Base, which was a sure fire hit with everyone.

* regular church service
* massage therapy
