Havilah offers comfortable and stylish independent living units at both Harkness and Palmerston sites. At Havilah on Palmerston stylish architect-designed retirement villas offer a convenient and vibrant lifestyle. All villas at Palmerston comprise two generously sized bedrooms, spacious, light-filled open plan living, dining and kitchen area, one or two bathrooms, laundry, garage and courtyard. Retire to a fulfilling lifestyle with all of the modern conveniences. Our Palmerston Street development celebrates the glamour of a heritage building redesigned into The High School Centre, a light-filled community centre offering an internet café, recreation and media area, function room, hair and beauty salon and library. The centre is surrounded by green grounds, 46 architecturally-designed retirement units and 30 prestige aged-care apartments at Raglan House.

Havilah is a great asset to our local community, offering modern and stylish retirement living, aged care and respite services. But it is not just great care and state-of-the art facilities on offer. At Heath House specialist dementia care is offered with dedication to the best possible quality of life. A monthly dance is held to entertain and enliven Heath House residents whilst all residents of Havilah and community are invited to attend. Volunteers, family members and retirees pitch in to entertain residents in the comforts of a chair, or join in twirling on the dance floor and help serve delicious meals. Team leader Patricia Boyd says the dancing improves overall mobility for those who are able and the whole event stimulates warmth and laughter.

According to health experts music awakens the part of the brain not impacted by dementia and evokes responses, such as singing and movement and and memory improvement that can last for several hours after the experience. In international studies staff have reported improved mood, emotion, communication, memory and reduction of anxiety and agitation in dementia patients. Great attention is given to the needs of Havilah’s dementia residents at all times with a variety of activities and the dance is a big part of the monthly calendar.

Residents at all of Havilah’s aged-care facilities rarely stop socialising and exploring their new lives. Havilah resides in a growing tourist region of Central Victoria. Travelling to towns, attractions and events in the region provides continuing entertainment and much inspiration for those who like to get out and about. 
​
And when residents are not traveling all over the country side there are plenty of activities enjoyed within their comfortable home from bowling to cross-words, craft, art, cooking, dancing, musical entertainment and significant events such as Melbourne Cup day and spring racing events, Easter, Mother’s Day, ANZAC day, Halloween and more. Our annual Christmas BBQs are enjoyed by residents and families past and present from far and wide.

Modern kitchen facilities and great staff are a source of pride at Havilah. Meals are prepared with only the best quality fresh, seasonal ingredients to suit all dietary requirements. Havilah kitchens can cater to resident’s daily desires regardless of any fixed menu. Large dining and communal spaces are offered in all wings of the facility. Private dining rooms and kitchens are available for family gatherings, activities, entertainment and events such as afternoon teas and games.

Residential Care and respite services are available at the Harkness and Palmerston sites. Contact Havilah for procedure for entry and information regarding fees and charges or arrange an in-home presentation.

Comfortable, affordable, modern residential aged-care and respite services.

Residential care doesn’t have to mean retiring to a chair, although with our spacious, light and comfortable state-of-the-art facilities a good book and a chair has plenty of appeal.

Residents at Havilah’s aged-care facilities rarely stop socialising and exploring their new lives. Havilah happens to reside in a growing tourist region of Victoria in Maryborough. Travelling to towns, attractions and events in the region provides endless entertainment and much inspiration for those who like to get out and about. There is so much food and wine and beautiful scenery on offer in central Victoria. In the past year we have had outings to see international exhibitions such as the Marilyn Monroe exhibition in Bendigo, toured gardens such as Lambley Nursery and Gardens in Ascot, visited Pyrenees vineyards, restaurants and pubs in Avoca and beyond, feasted on delicious gourmet treats in Castlemaine, Creswick and Daylesford, and enjoyed scenic delights at Tuki Trout Farm. Yet there is so much more to explore. So much to look forward to.

Our annual Christmas BBQs are enjoyed by residents and families past and present from far and wide.

Both Havilah sites are just a short stroll away from the Maryborough CBD, medical clinics, clubs, restaurants and cafés, and are ideally positioned to enjoy the culture and fine dining of the surrounding wine and goldfields regions.

At Havilah on Harkness families gathered again on December 9th to celebrate Christmas with their parents, grandparents and great grandparents. Laughter and games were heard as so many family groups celebreated side by side with an abundance of BBQ delights and Christmas cheer. The tables and chairs spilled out from the large dining area into the gardens surrounding the new building extension which is nearing completion for 2016.
