This week we had the great pleasure of farewelling and thanking Kaye, our dedicated Veteran Affairs volunteer, for her many years of outstanding service.
Kaye always dreamed of becoming a nurse, commencing her training at Sale Hospital in 1946, graduating at 19 years of age. She loved her nursing career, cherishing the teamwork, friendships, and the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives.
After retiring at the age of 61, Kaye found that bowls was fun but, “not useful,” and so she began visiting veterans in local nursing homes — a volunteer calling she has continued ever since. She also continued as an RSL Women’s bowler. Kaye enjoys an active and connected life.
For many years, Kaye has brought warmth, compassion, and cheerful companionship to the veterans at St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital. Her kindness and dedication have touched the hearts of countless patients and caregivers alike.
Thank you, Kaye, for your extraordinary service and for brightening the lives of so many. We will miss you dearly, but please know that you will always have many friends here at St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital.

This morning, our wonderful pastoral practitioner Ronny led a peaceful five-minute meditation in celebration of Pastoral Care Week. The session was comforting, relaxing, and beautifully grounding — transporting everyone into nature for a few mindful moments.
Caregivers and patients alike joined in, with one caregiver, Karen, warmly remarking, “We should do this every week!”
A big thank you to Ronny for creating such a soothing start to the day and reminding us of the power of gentle reflection and connection. 💚
