💙 Happy National Nurses Week 💙

This week, we proudly recognise and thank our aged care nurses for the compassion, patience, and dedication you bring every single day.

Your care goes beyond clinical skill — you build trust, preserve dignity, listen to stories, hold hands, and support residents and families/representatives through each stage of their care. The comfort, respect, and quality of care you provide truly make our community feel like home.

Thank you for your commitment, kindness, and unwavering advocacy for older people. We are incredibly grateful for all that you do — today and always.



Below are just a few of our wonderful Nurses at ACD.

Today, a group of our residents and staff attended the 11am Anzac Day service at Deloraine. We were honoured to stand alongside our community in remembrance.

We extend our sincere thanks to the organisers and volunteers who made this meaningful service possible, enabling reflection and connection.

This Anzac Day, Aged Care Deloraine acknowledge and honour all who have served our nation—whether in wars, conflicts, peacekeeping, or other operations.

Lest we forget.

111 years ago, at first light on the 25 April 1915, Australian and New Zealand troops landed at ANZAC Cove in Gallipoli, facing their first major battle of World War I. They fought with endurance, courage, ingenuity, good humour, and mateship – what we’ve come to know as the ANZAC Spirit.

On ANZAC Day, we honour their legacy and that of all who have followed in their footsteps.

They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest We Forget.

ANZAC Day can also be a challenging time for Veterans and their families. Support is available.

For those needing urgent assistance, help is available via Open Arms on 1800 011 046 (24 hrs) and Lifeline on 13 11 14 (24 hrs).

With numerous projects on the go, our facebook updates on the Kanangra redevelopment have been a little quiet lately, but behind the scenes, there’s been plenty of progress!

Oliver Kelly Group have been hard at work demolishing the old St Johns Wing to make way for the Stage 3 building, which will include 7 new resident rooms and plenty of additional storage. This will also be the final stage of our current redevelopment plans for Kanangra and is expected to be completed around October this year.

Alongside the major structural works, a lot of important detail work has been happening. The bathroom underfloor heating has been installed and the slab extended for the new build. Steelwork for the lifting rails is due in this week, with framing works to follow soon after.

Thanks to an incredibly generous donation (more on that very soon!), we’ve also been able to expand the project scope to include a new accessible toilet/WC for the main lounge and a refreshed medication room, which will make a real difference for both residents and staff.

You may have also notice in the photos, we’ve undertaken further renovations to our dining room, including brand new windows, fresh plasterwork, fascias and external cladding to modernise the space and ensure it ties in beautifully with the redevelopment works. Lots of smaller complementary projects are also coming together alongside the major redevelopment, helping to refresh and improve the whole Kanangra environment.

In addition to all these works, our staff have been meeting regularly with our Kanangra residents to help shape the design of the new courtyard and surrounding garden areas. It’s been wonderful to hear such thoughtful and creative ideas from residents, and we now have a clear plan in place for a warm, welcoming, and practical outdoor space that everyone can enjoy.

Recently, The Hon Rebecca White MP visited our Grenoch Home to speak with residents and staff about the Australian Government's investment of $17,987,158 to support the expansion of our home through the ACCAP grant scheme (as announced last year). We are grateful for the visit and Assistant Minister White was very generous with her time, spending considerable time one-on-one with residents and undertaking a tour with our CEO and Projects & Facilities Manager.

We featured on WIN News and also in The Examiner - see below. Merv was definitely the star of the show 😀

In late December, we shared a small sneak peek of Stage 2 of the Kanangra redevelopment. Since then, the team has been working hard to decorate and prepare the spaces, ensuring they are finished to the highest standard.

We are very excited to announce that the new entry and associated areas will be open from this Monday, 19th of January!

We cannot wait to welcome you into the next chapter of Kanangra’s history.

Stage 3 of 3 is now underway, more details soon!

An early sneak peek at Stage 2 of our Kanangra Redevelopment!

We are delighted to share that Oliver Kelly Group, Design Intent Architecture, and their outstanding team of sub-contractors achieved practical completion before Christmas. A fantastic result, finishing an impressive 12 weeks ahead of schedule.

A sincere thank you to all trades involved in this stage of the project. The quality of workmanship has been outstanding, and the pride taken in the delivery of this space is evident throughout.

Subject to final paperwork and approvals, we are targeting a mid-January opening of the new areas, with Stage 3, the third and final phase, commencing around the same time.

Stage 2 includes:
- A new entry and reception.
- A new resident sitting area.
- Three new resident rooms.
- A dedicated Lifestyle & Leisure space.
- An additional lounge area with future access to our new internal courtyard once Stage 3 is complete.

Please note, additional furniture and finishing touches are still to come.
