At Samarinda we know that staying connected and getting the right assistance is vital to living well at home. We have developed a range of service responses to meet the needs of our local community. Our guiding philosophy is locals for locals.
Our Community Centre at 296 High St Ashburton, provides a social ‘hub’ for locals. Come in and stay for a social lunch if you like, join an interest group, or one of our Active Ageing programs with exercise options for all fitness levels including gentle exercise and balance groups, Qi Gong, Line Dancing, Zumba Gold and more.

Our Community Transport cars and buses can provide transport to attend the Community Centre, or to go out on a small group excursion. We are always there at the end to get you home. View our transport services.
