Residents enjoyed the beautiful spring weather out in the courtyard, watching Narelle plant the new greenery they had carefully chosen.

Even Lizzie 🦎 joined in, spending a few hours in the garden with the residents and keeping a watchful eye on things.

Meanwhile, the rosellas 🐦 have begun nesting in our bird box, while the wild birds happily feasted on the birdseed.

Today at BDH we came together to celebrate R U OK? Day. 💛
Staff and residents shared morning tea, coffee, and meaningful conversations, reminding each other that a simple question can make a big difference.

R U OK? Day is a powerful reminder to check in with those around us. It encourages us to start conversations that could change or even save a life. By asking “Are you OK?”, we show we care, we listen, and we support mental wellbeing in our community.

Let’s keep the conversation going, not just today, but every day. 💬☕

BdH had the opportunity to welcome the Year 9 Broader Horizons Program from Boort District P-12 School.

Students explored different roles within our organisation and got a first-hand look at the many career pathways in health and community services. It was fantastic to see them so engaged, asking questions, and eager to learn.

👏 Thank you to the students and staff for making it such a positive and inspiring day.

Sepsis Awareness Month is celebrated every September worldwide to raise awareness about sepsis, a life-threatening condition caused by the body's extreme response to an infection that damages its own tissues and organs. Key efforts include promoting the acronym TIME to help recognize the signs and symptoms of sepsis (Temperature, Infection, Mental decline, Extremely ill), encouraging people to ask "Could it be sepsis?" if they are concerned about someone's health, and supporting organizations that provide resources and support for survivors and their families.
The month culminates in World Sepsis Day on September 13th.

It is like a petition against sepsis - the more people sign it, the better. It also signs you up for WSD News, if you want.
