Villa Minto - Preparing for the Move
In preparing for the move to Villa Minto, we encourage all applicants to visit first. The Home is fully furnished with all the comforts and conveniences the Residents require.
The Resident will provide:
- Personal clothing
- Personal requirements
- Private telephone
- Personal reading material
- Dry cleaning charges
- Hairdressing and beautician charges
- Personal TV
All clothing and personal articles will be labeled by Villa Minto. If additional clothing is needed through the year, we request that family members assist Residents with the purchase. Please ensure any additional items are identified for labeling. The laundry washes clothing carefully, but cannot be responsible for shrinkage or clothing wearing out from excessive washing.
The Resident or family should take responsibility for dry cleaning. Residents are discouraged from bringing personal belongings of a valuable nature into the unit. Arrangements for storage of such items must be made prior to admission.
