Good food has a special way of bringing people together and that’s exactly what we saw at Scalabrini Griffith during our recent Winter Menu food tasting. 🍲

As part of the transition to our new Winter Menu, residents and families were invited to take part in a food tasting session featuring a variety of new mains and desserts. These seasonal tastings are an important opportunity to gather feedback, involve residents and loved ones in the experience, and ensure our menus continue to reflect both enjoyment and choice.

As Scalabrini Griffith's Executive Chef, Celestina shared, “We received very positive feedback from residents and families and they were genuinely happy with the dishes they tasted. It was wonderful to see their smiles and hear their lovely comments.”

This is a meaningful reflection of Scalabrini’s Belong program in action particularly My Food and My Voice where residents are heard, their preferences are valued, and dining becomes a shared experience that strengthens community.

Thank you to the Catering Team, Care, Pastoral Care, Wellbeing, VLT and all involved in making the tasting another success in Griffith.

Eid is a time of reflection, gratitude and togetherness. In a world that continues to face many challenges and uncertainties, occasions like Eid remind us of the importance of compassion, understanding and hope for a more peaceful future.

At Scalabrini, we are proud to celebrate the rich diversity of cultures and traditions that make our community so special. May this Eid bring peace to your and our heart, comfort to those in need, and joy to you and your loved ones.

Eid Mubarak from Scalabrini Communities 🌙

In our heritage, we are amongst a sacred season that invites reflection, repentance, fasting, and prayer. Lent is not about religious appearances, but about bringing our hearts back into alignment with Heaven. Its purpose is to lead us toward deep, inward transformation. 🙏

Different stories. Different cultures. Different journeys.
One community.

At Scalabrini Communities, Harmony Week is a beautiful reminder that belonging begins when every person feels seen, valued and respected. From the languages we speak to the traditions we share, our diversity is what makes our community so special.

This week, we celebrate not only where we come from, but the way we come together , and work together in culturally diverse community. 🧡

Who says the journey has to stop? 🌍

At Scalabrini Chipping Norton, our residents set off on their very first Armchair Travel adventure, with Spain as the first stop.

With passports in hand, delicious Spanish-inspired treats, and a room full of laughter, memories came flooding back. Stories were shared about streets once walked, people once loved, and meals once enjoyed; from paella to sangria.

Armchair Travel is more than an activity. It is a beautiful way to ignite a connection, celebrate a culture, and remind us all that the joy of discovery can stay with us for life. 🧡

We sat down with some of our wonderful residents at The Village, Drummoyne and asked a simple question:
“What advice would you share with your younger self?”

The answers were of gentle reminders to be kind, back yourself, love deeply, care for others and etc. Here’s a little of the inspiring wisdom they shared. 👇✨
