Invigorating activities make Regis Gannon Gardens a lively place, whether residents are participating or watching. Our programs cater to every ability and interest level so everyone can be part of the fun.

Located in the quiet residential suburb of Hurstville in south western Sydney, Gannon finds a gentle balance between inclusiveness and a sense of individual freedom. Because our low and high care areas are separate, most residents have friends within their own areas, but we like to bring them all together as often as possible.

While most of our pursuits are tailored to suit low and high care requirements, like our Spark of Life afternoon activities for our dementia residents, an annual program of concerts and entertainment is designed to strengthen our sense of community. Of course that includes the families of residents, many of whom visit us so often they feel like part of the Gannon family.

Other occasions which emphasise our community include morning teas, sing-alongs and an array of organised parties like our recent Mother's Day celebrations. Our two open courtyards are ideal for barbecues and get togethers, as well as special events like the petting zoo, which visits us with a menagerie of cuddly farm animals.

Gannon's low care residents are out and about on a regular basis, particularly when our own choir is performing at a venue somewhere in the local area. This popular choir is in high demand among other care facility residents who love their diverse repertoire of unaccompanied songs.

The choir practises a lot and it's always a pleasure to hear their voices resonating through the building. Gannon's choir is quite literally part of the fabric of the place.

One of our activity officers arranges their songs and each member listens carefully to recordings of songs they are learning. It's quite amazing what can be accomplished with passion and practice!

Such vocal involvement works up quite an appetite among our residents. All meals are cooked on site and residents enjoying providing their own suggestions on menu choices at our monthly meetings.

Other discussions during these meetings include the destination for forthcoming excursions. Recent bus trips have headed into the Blue Mountains and visited Bowral during the Tulip Festival.

Bus isn't the only way our low care residents get around. Because Gannon is only five minutes walk to the railway station, it's an easy trip into town by train.

Gannon Gardens residents are also able to take advantage of the following services on offer:

• regular church service
• massage therapy
• hairdressing and beauty therapy
• cable television
• 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.
