💐🌾🌻🌼A Mother’s Day tribute to the women who shaped generations 🌷🌹🥀🪻

Can you imagine the stories of sacrifice and strength swirling through Lakeside Living care community?
Those walls could not contain the unspoken devotion and emotional strength of the women who shaped several generations.
‘Where would we be without you all?’ was the message social worker, June Spencer, wanted to convey to our residents on Mother’s Day.
She, and her fellow Edenhope Lions Club members, set about creating handmade cards and native flower arrangements for all female residents.
“I just thought it would be lovely, to celebrate and recognise what these women have done for our town,” June said.
"Why not do that on Mother's Day?"
Our Meaningful Life team also gave each female resident a gift of shampoo and conditioner on Sunday.

Ahead of International Nurses Day (May 12), we’re celebrating the many ways nurses and midwives strengthen patient care through research. Meet Karina and Jess, two of our Nursing and Midwifery Research Assistants at Grampians Health who help bring research to life, improving care for our patients.

By developing structured research, supporting ethics submissions, coordinating data collection, analysing results and helping share findings, they turn everyday clinical questions into evidence with practical outcomes embedded into day-to-day clinical practice, improving care across our services.

For Karina and Jess, the most rewarding part of their role is seeing ideas grow into real improvements for patients, providing better, culturally safe, equitable health care for the community.

Thank you to all our nurses involved in research, leading change and improving care for our patients and communities, now and into the future.

Berni Rafferty will do almost anything to make her mother, Trudy, smile. It’s increasingly rare to catch a twinkle in her eye or hear a carefree giggle from the once-vibrant and busy matriarch.

Trudy lives with two types of a cruel and degenerative dementia.

No longer able to express herself, or clearly comprehend her environment, she spends much of her day walking laps of Lakeside Living’s shared spaces. But something magical happened when members of Edenhope’s Dementia Support Group performed a humorous Christmas pantomime for residents.

Trudy sat still in her seat. She was engaged. She smiled. And she laughed.

“She sat in the front row and she laughed and laughed and I can’t tell you how much joy that brought me,” Berni said.

It sparked immediate plans for a follow-up performance; a whimsical Easter-themed re-imagining of ‘Alice in Wonderland’, featuring a dachshund museum, one very large fish and Lake Wallace parkrun. Colourful costumes were complemented by the most important of ingredients: music.

“The long-term memory holds onto music more than anything else,” Berni said. “Music can bring most dementia-sufferers to life, and they get a big smile on their face.”

Edenhope’s Dementia Support Group, convened by social worker June Spencer, is open to all friends and loved ones of people living with dementia. For more information, phone the HUB: 5585 9830

Grampians Health Horsham has proudly achieved Baby Friendly Health Initiative (BFHI) accreditation, a World Health Organisation standard for newborn care.

This milestone reflects a strong commitment to providing high‑quality, evidence‑based care that supports mothers, babies and families to have the best possible start. BFHI accreditation recognises health services that protect, promote and support breastfeeding, while ensuring all families receive respectful, informed and compassionate care.

BFHI coordinator Steph Wallis said the achievement reflected a true team effort.

“Becoming BFHI accredited is something of which the entire team should be incredibly proud,” Ms Wallis said.

“It represents months of collaboration and a shared focus on improving outcomes for families in our community.”
