The hostel has earned an enviable reputation for its quality of care with its residents, their families, and associates, and within the aged care industry as a whole, and reflects credit on the council in particular, and the region in general. Lot 1 of the land, which is part of the complex, includes 24 public housing units operated by the Victorian State Department of Housing, a Senior Citizens Centre operated by the Latrobe City Council, and public access, parking areas, etc. that have been retained by the Latrobe City Council.
Mitchell House Village has 22 single bedroom dwellings – Independent Living Units – for couples or single persons who are over the age of 55 years. The units have been maintained with a regular refurbishment program and are completely reassessed as vacancies occur.
An enthusiastic Mitchell House Auxiliary has been active from the time the original Association came into being and all fundraising events and activities are overseen by the Fundraising Sub-Committee which operates under delegation from the Committee of Management.
Over the years, the Auxiliary has raised and contributed significant funds to the construction of the RACF and for the purchase of equipment and fittings to supplement existing assets held by the facility.
