Open day at aged care facility

An aged care facility at Umina will be hosting a free Family Open Day from 10:30am to 3:30pm on Saturday, October 7.

The day will include live entertainment, farmyard animals in a petting zoo, a photo booth and jumping castle, as well as a free barbecue lunch and performances by Los Bonkers and Katie Conty.

Peninsula Villages chief Mr Shane Neaves said the open day would be an opportunity for community members of all ages to experience the village and care facilities as well as enjoy a range of free family entertainment.

"Families will also have an opportunity to find out more about Peninsula Villages and our care services as well as enjoy some intergenerational activities and family entertainment," he said.

Attendees on the day will be able to also tour the Peninsula Village facilities, interact with residents and talk to the staff and volunteers.

"Peninsula Villages also enjoys promoting activities that engage all generations from the little ones to our older aged residents, and this year's event will see free dance therapy and djembe drumming demonstrations so everyone can enjoy some shared fun on the day," he said.

"For more than 40 years, we've been caring for our older aged locals and providing a welcoming community for residents to feel safe and included," Mr Neaves said.

"As a community for-purpose organisation, we are also focused on serving the needs of the wider Peninsula and Central Coast community and are proud to enjoy strong relationships with a host of local schools, social clubs, sporting clubs and groups.

Peninsula Village is located at 91 Pozieres Ave, Umina.
