Cooee Lodge Retirement Village is located in a beautiful rural setting, within one kilometre of the Gilgandra CBD and adjacent to the Gilgandra Multi-Purpose Health Service.
Cooee Lodge Hostel is centrally located within the Village. The Hostel is a 40 bed low care facility plus offers a 10 bed special care wing. A combination of 1 and 2 bedroom style villa units surround the hostel in the Retirement Village complex and inspections are always welcome. The residents at Cooee Lodge are encouraged to live as independently as possible and to maintain social independence.
A range of hostel rooms and independent villa units are now available at Cooee Lodge Retirement Village and they are welcoming new residents. A hairdresser and allied health professionals regularly visit residents, and they also host fun and enjoyable activities each week. The facility is surrounded by gardens that will arouse a sense of peacefulness and inspire residents to enjoy themselves and live life to the fullest.
Room upgrades have also just been completed on several rooms within the low care wing at Cooee Lodge Hostel. All rooms are fitted with a reverse cycle air conditioner for individual comfort and contain a bed, ensuite bathroom, easy chair, writing chair and bench.
David Neeves, General Manager at Gilgandra Shire Council is encouraging anyone in the Gilgandra community who is considering downsizing to make an appointment to visit the Cooee Lodge Retirement Village. “We understand that looking for aged care services can be very stressful. Our goal is to make the process stress-free and easy to understand.”
You are encouraged to contact Cooee Lodge Retirement Village on 6817 8744 to discuss further details of the level of care available and any specific information regarding entry into aged care and/or associated financial arrangements.
