Standing Room Only for Our Twice-Weekly Exercises at Rumbalara House !
It’s always a full house for our Tuesday and Thursday exercise sessions — and it’s easy to see why! Not only is it a fantastic way to stay active, social, and feeling terrific, but it’s also guaranteed to bring plenty of laughs along the way.
Our Residents meet every Tuesday and Thursday at 11am in the Activities Room , and they wouldn’t miss it for the world. From ball games to noodle exercises and a good joke or two there’s something for everyone.
As we like to say: “Use it or lose it!”
If you haven’t tried this fun, soft-paced exercise routine, now’s the perfect time. Even if you don’t break a sweat, a good belly laugh is always part of the workout!

We’re a fully accredited, not-for-profit aged care community that caters for up to 76 residents on either a full-time or temporary respite care basis.
Our care team provide 24/7 Registered Nurse access, with our capabilities further increased through the addition of new person centred software that enhances communication, documentation and connection between our staff and residents.
Since its establishment, Vietnam Veterans has evolved into a multi-purpose residential aged care community. Our residents’ quality of life is top priority. For this reason, we have grown to embrace the whole community through the hosting of lifetime events such weddings, funerals, family occasions and corporate functions.
