Bolton Clarke Bongaree, Bribie Island

Bolton Clarke Bongaree, Bribie Island Designed to suit individual needs, tastes and budgets.

Located in beautiful Bongaree on the western side of Bribie Island, our retirement living community is close to stunning walking trails, swimming beaches, golf and leisure facilities. Bongaree is an intimate village with only 50 homes, making it large enough to be social, yet small enough to let you get to know your neighbours. Bolton Clarke is Australia’s largest independent, not-for-profit aged care provider shaping the future of positive ageing. With RSL Queensland and the Royal District Nursing Service at the heart of our DNA, we have been caring for Australians since 1885. Today, our exceptional teams support more than 130,000 people to live independently at home and across our 43 retirement living communities and 88 residential aged care homes. Everything we do is dedicated to enabling, celebrating and supporting older Australians to live and age positively.

The festive season can be a particularly overwhelming time for people with dementia and their carers – especially where family events are involved.

On this day in 1926 we opened Melbourne’s first after care home to provide transitional care for people of all ages after a hospital stay. MDNS President Jessie Henderson described the hospital as “a new expression of an old need”. Today, we’re still finding new ways to meet community needs, from our parenting, birth and baby telephone helpline to telehealth, home and community support and in our retirement villages and aged care homes.

As summer quickly approaches and with much of Queensland starting to receive heatwave warnings, it's important to know how to prepare. For older people this is particularly important as extremely hot weather can create unique health challenges.

During these months, it's important to stay cool by:
🚰 Staying hydrated and drinking 6 - 8 glasses of water a day at regular intervals
🏠 Finding ways to keep your home cool including closing window coverings when there is direct sunlight
🏃‍♂️ Keeping activity to a minimum during the hottest part of the day (11am - 3pm)

Monday, 24 September 1945 – 80 years ago today – Queensland Governor Sir Leslie Orme Wilson officially opened the Kenmore Repatriation Sanatorium on the site of what is now Bolton Clarke Fairview, Pinjarra Hills. The first 12 veteran patients had been in residence in August under the watchful eyes of medical superintendent Dr George Cherry and Matron Viola Everett from the 112 Australian General Base Hospital. The sanatorium was founded to support ex-service personnel suffering from tuberculosis and continued to serve the veteran community until its closure in 1994.

The Bribie Island community turned out in force when Bribie Cove Retirement Village celebrated its 20th anniversary on the weekend with a vintage car show, a petting zoo, dancing and plenty of family fun! Resident Rita was among the village's first residents and enjoyed a celebratory cake while reflecting on two decades of island life.
“It was my first venture into living in close proximity to neighbours but the early residents were a very active group and we soon made firm friendships,” she said.“I have never regretted coming here because it’s been a good place for me to be and has continued to suit me even now as I’m losing my sight because in the time I’ve been here, I now know where everything is.
“It’s been a feeling of security that we know there is residential aged care here but if anything goes wrong, you know that’s the next step in our lives.
“It’s interesting too because we have all come from very diverse backgrounds and being a part of the village has brought us together. “I always said that I’d go somewhere when I turned 70 and then I wasn’t going to move again, and it’s proved a very, very good decision.”

Ninety years ago today, Melbourne's The Star published this account of a day in the life of our nurses. Our teams bring the same kindness and commitment to high quality care today for clients and residents across Australia.

From our very first nurse, Nurse Ferguson, to 16,000+ employees across Australia today, on this Aged Care Employee Day we recognise the dedication and resilience that has been a hallmark of our teams for more than a century. It’s timely that today also marks one of our more recent milestones – the day we came together as Bolton Clarke in 2017, honouring early community leaders Brigadier William Kinsey Bolton and Lady Janet Clarke.
A very big Aged Care Employee Day thank you to all the Bolton Clarke teams for 140 years of caring.
