Murray River Region
Moving into a Retirement Village or Hostel is one of the most important decisions you will make at this time of your life. With the assistance of UPA, your friends and family, it can be a rewarding move.
Residing in a UPA Hostel enables you to live a productive lifestyle with the provision of care and assistance close at hand. UPA Murray River Region owns and operates three Hostels, Murray Vale Shalem Hostel, Oolong Hostel and Myoora Homestead.
Companionship, Security and Assistance are three of the key elements contributing to UPA's excellence in Aged Care. Within the hostel you'll find companionship with people of similar age and interests and a myriad of activities, concerts and excursions to keep your days as full as you choose. When you need a quieter moment retreat to your room, furnished with your own belongings providing a safe and familiar haven.
UPA Murray River Region Hostels in Albury (Lavington) and Henty are single level dwellings enabling you ease of movement unassisted throughout the complex and gardens. The hostels are an integral part of the local community enabling you to maintain close contact with your friends and relatives. Yet, when you need assistance, professional staff are available 24 hours a day to assist you. While help is always available residents are encouraged and assisted to maintain their independence.
Residing in a UPA Retirement Village enables you to live a productive lifestyle with the provision of care and assistance close at hand. UPA Murray River Region encompasses the Albury and Greater Hume Shires and City of Wodonga providing a variety of accommodation styles and care options to suit your needs and abilities.
Today many people are better equipped to face the question of post-retirement living. Yet, as we grow older the need for assistance with various aspects of daily living or the desire for freedom from the cares and worries of home maintenance grows. Moving into a U.P.A. Retirement Village offers a solution to these pressing needs and can be the most appropriate answer to growing old with dignity and value.
Moving into a retirement village does not mean losing your independence, contact with family and friends or ability to be involved in clubs and activities. It does mean moving into a new home where you will find companionship with people of similar interests and age. It means not having to be overwhelmed with the gardening and cleaning and having assistance on hand to achieve daily tasks, if you require it. Moving in to a U.P.A. Village means moving into accommodation commensurate with your immediate needs, in an interactive and stimulating environment.
The Murray River Region for many years has received Home and Community Care funding to provide a three day a week day club for people with dementia in the community, with ten to twelve people participating each day.
