Mountain View Aged Care Centre offers a cosy and vibrant home with a strong sense of community and is managed by a team of professionals who go beyond the clinical to ensure that residents feel comfortable, safe and loved.
Our single-level residence has beautiful landscaped gardens and is surrounded by mountain and suburban views. The Centre has been designed with residents’ convenience, security and belonging in mind with plenty of natural lighting, spacious rooms, many outdoor areas, wide corridors and homely décor. The dining room is colourful and communal and is the prime spot to see our beautiful mountain surroundings. We also have a unique glass walled walkway in one part of the Centre, near our chapel, that looks out upon our onsite river with fish and aquatic wildlife.
The Centre is located just minutes away from public transport, Canberra CBD, Woden Westfield, Manuka and local health services.
We recognise the importance of family and friends to our residents’ wellbeing and encourage them to be an active part of our community. We work closely with the local community and over time we have built a credible reputation as an organisation that genuinely cares for others in need without discrimination.
