As well as providing a range of flexicare services for residents needing support, the Village is also funded for providing a very diverse range of activities each week including bus outings, picnics, movie and theatre shows, craft and poetry groups, exercise, indoor and outdoor bowling, croquet, etc etc. Residents get involved only where and when they chose, but there is always plenty to do.
