Exciting news! 🥂

We’re thrilled to mark the official ribbon cutting of the newly refurbished SwanCare Waminda!

This significant upgrade enhances both functionality and comfort, all while preserving the warm, home-like feel our residents know and love.

SwanCare Board Chair, Kim Hocking, shared, “This refurbishment is a significant achievement in SwanCare’s long-term vision for excellence in aged care. As one of the major projects in our master plan, it demonstrates how careful planning and sustained investment can deliver tangible outcomes for those we serve.”

It was our great honour to have Waminda resident Eileen, who recently celebrated her 100th birthday, cut the ribbon at the ceremony.

A big thank you to our project partners, MKDC Designers, Bridge42 and Dawn Projects for helping us bring this vision to life.

A heartfelt thank you to our residents, project partners, board members and Karen Vernon, Mayor of Victoria Park, for joining us to celebrate this important milestone!

Every smile tells a story - and for our RN Librato, those smiles are his “why.” 😁

This series highlights the incredible staff members across our campus, sharing their “why” — why they enjoy working at SwanCare, what drives them daily, and the special moments that remind them, ‘that’s why I’m here.’

👋 Meet Librato Maglaqui, our fantastic Registered Nurse who wears many hats!

Librato’s “why”? “Working at SwanCare has allowed me to connect with a variety of older people and make a meaningful impact on their lives. Seeing the smiles of residents and their families, along with the supportive work culture, makes this job rewarding. I’m fortunate to have a manager and team who encourage my growth and value my contributions.”

Keep an eye out for Librato’s warm smile in our care centres - he’s always up for a friendly chat!

Cheers to another year! 🎂

Last week, we celebrated Keith S. from Kingia on his 80th birthday! He enjoyed two special celebrations - one with family and another with fellow Kingia residents! Keith had it all, from heartfelt cards and thoughtful gifts to wine and a cake that was almost too good to share. You deserve it, Keith!

Happy birthday and congratulations on reaching this incredible milestone. 💙

Jaffles or toasties, what a fun dilemma! 🥪

Food experience sessions at SwanCare Ningana have become a favourite activity among our residents. On this occasion, residents enjoyed jaffles and toasties, and shared wonderful memories of how they used to prepare them. Lorena, our Social Engagement Assistant, even gave a live cooking demonstration for the residents, making the moment extra special.

What a delicious experience! Our Ningana residents are already looking forward to their next food experience session (and so are we). 😋
