Today our Peacock residents took a walk into our beautiful garden to pick some flowers to arrange for our inside tables. Plenty of smiles and chatter about smells and colours, and yes 'Ben they did leave some still on the bushes'.

As Christmas closes in on us and some of our wonderful staff take time off to be with their own families, we give thanks to each and every Resident who have allowed us to be in their home and bring ALOT of Christmas in. The lifestyle team have had a very fun and busy month, from Christmas Shopping, Christmas baking, late nights with Christmas light seeking, and helping the residents to make a gift for their families. We have celebrated with a marvelous lunch all together and a Christmas Eve Eve.. fancy morning tea.
Merry Christmas to you all, Safe travels and lots of Cheer.

🎄 Thank You to Our Amazing Team 🎄

A heartfelt thank you to all of the staff at John Curtin Aged Care who helped make today’s Residents, family and friends Christmas party such a wonderful success.

From the beautiful decorating of the Huntley Function Room to the cooking, serving, and cleaning up afterwards, your hard work and dedication did not go unnoticed. The food was absolutely amazing, and everyone had a truly lovely time.

A special mention also goes to Santa for visiting and bringing gifts for both the young and the young at heart — it was a huge hit and brought many smiles to the room. 🎅🎁

Thank you again to our incredible team for creating such a warm, festive, and memorable celebration for our residents and their loved ones.

🌟🎄A Message from the President! 🎄🌟

The year is almost over and what a year it has been for John Curtin Aged Care Inc., we are ending on a high.
We are still glowing from the announcement of the Federal Government grant of $13M towards the redevelopment of the centre. This grant has secured our future.

We again participated in the Creswick Garden Lover's Weekend in November where the new Sensory Garden, now 15 months old, was on display. Thank you: to all who donated plants, who bought plants and books, who volunteered on the day, who bought raffle tickets, who visited our gardens and who enjoyed themselves in Cafe Curtin. It was a wonderful weekend. Our thanks go to the Creswick Garden Club for organising this event.

November was also the month when we commemorated those who had left us over the previous 12 months. It has long been a tradition at JCAC and is always a very moving occasion and we thank Verey Funerals for officiating.

We are now looking forward to Christmas celebrations, both at the centre and in homes with our families.
On behalf of the Board, Management, Staff, Volunteers and our Residents, we extend our best wishes to all in our communities for a happy and safe Christmas and New Year.

Merry Christmas

We acknowledge and thank all of the wonderful Volunteers who support JCAC in so many ways: through activities, driving the bus, representing us on sub committees, etc. Thank you, we could not do all that we do without you! 🩷💜🩷💜🩷

As the world faces mounting challenges, volunteers are often the first to step up and help.

On International Volunteer Day, join UN Volunteers in thanking those who – with courage, dedication and generosity – are building a better future for all and demonstrating the power of collective action.

Who are you grateful for? Share in the comments how volunteers have made a difference in your community.
