Local residents will have the chance to explore one of Moonee Ponds’ most established independent living communities when Doutta Galla Aged Services’ Queens Park Retirement Living hosts a community Open Day on Saturday, 17 May, from 11 am to 1 pm.
The event invites older adults and their families to tour secure, two-bedroom apartments located directly opposite the scenic Queens Park Gardens and Lake. Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet residents, enjoy a light lunch, and learn more about the lifestyle and services on offer.
Located a short stroll from the vibrant Puckle Street precinct, the village offers convenient access to cafés, shops, public transport, and the Palace Penny Lane cinema. Residents enjoy a strong sense of connection through regular social activities and a lifestyle program that supports
healthy, independent living.
The Open Day will feature Shemsa Osmancevic, a Retirement Living Property Council committee board member and experienced manager in business, village and project management.
Shemsa will be available to answer questions and speak about retirement living as a positive “third choice” between staying at home and entering residential aged care.
“Doutta Galla aims to help people live comfortably and independently,” Ms Osmancevic said.
“The Open Day is a great chance to see the community for yourself, meet some of our lovely residents, and hear about tailored retirement and in-home care options in a relaxed setting.”
Doutta Galla Queens Park is home to a vibrant and diverse group of residents, including former librarians, artists, textile workers, and aspiring novelists – all contributing to a welcoming and engaging environment.
The village also offers access to a full continuum of care, with residential aged care located next door and in-home support services such as Home Care Packages and Support at Home available through Doutta Galla.
