👵 A Little Table Making a Big Impact at Kew Gardens 👶

This week, a small gesture made a big difference. We set up a highchair, a toddler-sized table and chairs, and some colourful kids’ activities in the Kew Gardens café — and just like that, the space came alive with laughter, crayons, and connection.

What started as a simple setup has become a heart-warming hub where grandparents can enjoy precious moments with their grandchildren, and families feel more at home during their visits. Children stay happily engaged while residents light up with joy, and the feedback from families has been overwhelmingly positive.

But beyond the smiles and giggles, there’s something deeper happening here.

When children and older adults connect, something beautiful unfolds. For residents in aged care, especially those who may be feeling isolated or experiencing cognitive decline, these intergenerational moments can spark joy, stimulate memory, and bring renewed purpose. For children, time spent with older adults nurtures empathy, patience, and a sense of belonging across generations.

These simple, shared experiences — a colouring-in session, a shared laugh, a tiny hand in an older one — builds wellbeing and remind us all of the power of human connection at every stage of life.

At Kew Gardens, we believe memorable experiences are just as important as quality care. This week, we treated residents to a delightful wood-fired pizza experience – and what a hit it was! 🍕

Freshly made on-site, the pizzas filled the air with incredible aromas and brought plenty of smiles and laughter. A heartfelt thank you to Intocore, for creating the most scrumptious pizzas. It was more than just lunch – it was a sensory and social celebration enjoyed by all.

🎄✨ Christmas in July at Kew Gardens! ✨🎄

Residents were treated to a festive feast to remember, complete with all the trimmings – and a healthy dose of holiday cheer!

The menu featured cream of mushroom soup, roast turkey with cranberry sauce, baked ham with pineapple glaze, zucchini and cauliflower fritters, roast potato, pumpkin and carrot… and of course, plum pudding with brandy custard to finish! 🍽️

Every resident received a bonbon and was encouraged to pop on a colourful Christmas hat and share the classic (and terrible!) Dad jokes tucked inside – laughter echoed throughout the dining room.

It may be July, but the spirit of Christmas was well and truly alive at Kew Gardens. ❤️🎅

🎉 We’ve opened the doors to something special at Kew Gardens Aged Care—our very own Man Cave!

This new games and activities room was launched with a fun-filled billiards competition between residents and staff. And guess what? The residents came out on top! 🎱💥

With a bar, board games, pool table, PlayStation and more, the Man Cave is all about bringing people together. It’s a space for stories, laughs, memories—and a little friendly rivalry.

We’re so proud to offer spaces that celebrate connection, fun, and the amazing personalities that make our home so special.

There’s something brewing at Kew Gardens in the mornings. ☕❄️

As the winter weather has kicked in we've noticed a buzz coming from the Kew Gardens café, with the comforting hum of conversation, the gentle clink of teaspoons, and the rich aroma of Lavazza coffee filling the air. Outside, the winter chill lingered, but inside, the warmth was undeniable.

Residents gathered in our cosy café, wrapped in winter layers, sharing stories, and enjoying the simple pleasure of a well-made coffee and good company. It wasn’t just the heating that made the space feel warm – it was the laughter, the smiles, the familiar faces, and the genuine care of our team.

At Kew Gardens, these moments don’t just happen by chance. Our staff work hard to create an atmosphere that feels welcoming, relaxed, and full of heart. Whether it’s serving a favourite brew just the way someone likes it, remembering a resident’s regular seat, or simply taking the time to chat – every detail matters – because we know that little moments make a big difference. 🩷

🫖 A warm welcome with high tea at Kew Gardens!

We recently held a lovely high tea to celebrate and connect with our new permanent and respite residents — and what a wonderful success it was! The room was filled with joy, compliments, and community spirit.

Our residents already feel right at home, and many are happily recommending Kew Gardens to friends and loved ones. That’s the kind of positive buzz we love to see. 💛

A heartfelt thank you to our team for their dedication and care in making this such a special day. 🥰

At Kew Gardens Aged Care, food is more than just a meal—it’s a daily highlight, a comfort, and a way to feel at home. Our residents often share their curiosity about where their meals are prepared—wondering about the freshness of ingredients, the quality of produce, and the cleanliness behind the scenes.

So, following a suggestion in our recent Consumer Advisory Board meeting, we decided to make their request a reality—with a special guided tour of our Kew Gardens kitchen!

Residents were welcomed behind the scenes, where they saw firsthand the care, professionalism, and passion that goes into every dish. From spotless surfaces to trays of fresh ingredients, the experience was not only eye-opening but also incredibly reassuring. It was a wonderful opportunity to build trust, spark conversations, and show our residents just how much love goes into every bite. ❤️

💜 We’re incredibly proud to share that Kew Gardens Aged Care recently took part in the Memory Walk & Jog, supporting the vital work of Dementia Australia.

Four of our passionate team members laced up their runners and headed to Carlton, joining hundreds of others walking and jogging in honour of the more than 400,000 Australians living with dementia. The atmosphere was one of warmth, hope, and unity — a powerful reminder of the strength that comes from community and compassion.

This event is a movement to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and generate crucial funds for support services, research, and advocacy. In 2025 there are an estimated 433,300 Australians living with dementia. The number of people with dementia is expected to increase to an estimated 812,500 by 2054.

To our incredible team: thank you for representing Kew Gardens with such heart. 💜 Your dedication to supporting those impacted by dementia — both in our care home and beyond — is truly inspiring.

Geraldine “Jerry” Leo, a centenarian from Long Island, celebrated her 100th birthday in a way most people half her age wouldn’t dare: by completing a five-minute plank during an aerobics class at the Great South Bay YMCA in Bay Shore.

“April 11th is my 100th birthday,” said Jerry, who calmly held her plank as the rest of the class dropped out at the two-minute mark. Instructors and classmates watched in awe as she kept going for three more minutes—with perfect form and a smile on her face.

With sharp coordination, unstoppable stamina, and a lifelong love of movement, Jerry proves that age is no barrier to strength. Her secret?
👉 “Be consistent, be positive, and keep moving whatever. That’s very important.”

Her fitness journey began in 1991, encouraged by her late husband Dominic when the YMCA first opened. Today, she’s not just still attending classes—she’s raising the bar. In addition to aerobics, she normally takes a weekly weightlifting class, too.

She’s not just lifting weights—she’s lifting spirits. Here’s to Jerry, a true inspiration and a reminder that it’s never too late to be strong, active, and full of life.

Today, we pause to remember.
On this ANZAC Day, we honour the courage, sacrifice and unwavering spirit of the men and women who have served — and continue to serve — our country in times of war, conflict and peacekeeping.

We pay tribute to those who never returned, and we stand with gratitude for the freedoms their bravery helped secure.

Lest we forget. 🌺
