- Spending time with family
- Enjoying shopping and going to cafes, restaurants and bars
- Going to concerts, community events and scenic outings
The Grounds
We have a lovely, spacious courtyard that gets lots of sun (which is great for our vege garden!) and very little wind. The residents love to spend time there, and it is often used for special events, BBQ's and parties.
The Facilities
Argo House is well equipped with modern technology to ensure both residents and staff are safe and comfortable. Our technologically advanced supports enable staff to lift, position, transfer and assist with mobility.
