Residents from The Melvista Aged Care Enjoy Scenic Bus Trip to Matilda Bay with Oryx Communities

This week, residents from The Melvista Aged Care, part of Oryx Communities, enjoyed a delightful bus outing to Matilda Bay, taking in the beautiful riverside scenery and spending quality time together. The trip was part of our ongoing aged care lifestyle programs, designed to keep residents active, engaged, and connected with both the community and each other.

The day began with laughter and conversation on the bus as residents shared stories and caught up with friends. Upon arrival at Matilda Bay, everyone embraced the fresh air, admired the scenic river views, and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings — perfect for reflection, relaxation, and social connection.

No outing would be complete without a little indulgence. Residents made a stop at Bayside Cafe for coffee and light refreshments, giving everyone a chance to unwind, enjoy delicious treats, and share smiles and conversation.

Outings like this are more than just a day trip — they are an integral part of Oryx Communities’ commitment to providing high-quality aged care. By offering engaging activities and opportunities for connection, our Lifestyle Team helps enhance resident wellbeing, promote social interaction, and create memorable experiences.

At The Melvista, we believe that aged care is about more than support — it’s about providing opportunities for joy, learning, and connection every day. Whether through scenic outings, social events, or interactive programs, our residents thrive in a community that cares.
