Enjoy Lottie's account of a recent outing to the Dandenong Ranges on an Accent Home Care outing:

"The beautiful Dandenong Ranges were the destination for our Social Support Group today. A stop at the RJ Hamer Arboretum Lookout was something to enjoy first thing in the morning. The views from there are quite spectacular.
We are always looking forward to having morning tea in the Season Cafe of Cloudehill Garden because everybody loves their delicious cakes or toasties. A browse through the nursery is always very interesting.

In the Dandenong Ranges National Park we hopped on the little bus to be driven through the absolutely beautiful plantations of rhododendrons, azaleas, proteas, connifers, magnolias, cherry trees, camellias and other shrubs and tree. Our guide Rachel gave a very interesting and informative commentary. Staff is very scarce and they depend on the much appreciated help from volunteers.

The strong wind which seemed to come straight from the Antarctic had cooled us down a fair bit in the open vehicle, so we really appreciated the warmth and cosiness of the Mount Dandenong Hotel where we enjoyed hearty senior meals.

We enjoy all the outings week after week and say a heartfelt Thank You to our lovely carers, Ulli and Kerstin, for taking such good care of us and for organising all those varying destinations."

Caring for a loved one at home can feel overwhelming - but the right support makes all the difference.

Melisa, daughter of our client Doug, shared how Accent Home Care helped him stay in his home as he wished, and how supported she felt as his sole carer:

“Accent Care were the only service to take the time to understand Dad’s care needs and to assist with finding a solution to support him immediately and on an ongoing basis.”

We are so grateful for the trust families place in us. Every story reminds us why we do what we do - helping older people live well at home, surrounded by compassion and dignity.

💚 When a Loved One Says “No” to Home Care

It’s not unusual for older people to resist accepting help at home. Many worry that it means losing their independence, or that they’ll become a burden on their family.

If this sounds familiar, here are some gentle ways to approach the conversation:
✨ Ask them why they’re saying no – and really listen.
✨ Share your goals – like keeping them living at home, safely and comfortably, for as long as possible.
✨ Be honest about how their decision is affecting you and your family.
✨ Remember they are the centre of all decisions, and their voice matters most.
✨ Respect their choice – sometimes taking things slowly helps.

These conversations aren’t always easy, but they can make a world of difference. With patience, honesty and respect, you can find a path forward together.

🌸 Welcome our new international volunteers! 🌸

Each year, TTHA and Accent Home Care welcomes six young volunteers from Germany who spend a year with us, supporting residents and our Accent Home Care Social Support Groups. They bring energy, kindness, and fresh perspectives, and in return gain valuable life experience and cultural exchange.

This year, we’re delighted to introduce another six volunteers. Over the coming weeks, we’ll introduce you to each of them - starting with Nele.

Nele is 18 and has just graduated high school. She chose to spend her gap year in Australia working in aged care because she wanted to do something meaningful and supportive of others. In her free time, she enjoys singing, playing piano, and jogging.

Nele is excited to meet more of our residents, share music and conversation, improve her English, and learn about Australian culture. Please join us in giving Nele a very warm welcome by leaving a message in the comments!

Our Social Support Group enjoyed another wonderful day out together. We started with morning tea at the cosy 13 Rows Café, then popped into one of our favourite spots - the gourmet deli at Aumanns - for a little shopping and plenty of smiles.

It’s always a joy to see friendships growing and memories being made on our outings.

🌟 Social Support Group Adventure 🌟

Recently, our group explored the quirky Naked Racer Café & Museum in Cheltenham – the perfect spot for a coffee, cake, and a wander through their fascinating collection. From there, we made our way down to the beach, where everyone picked their own favourite lunch spot by the water.

Days like these are all about connection, laughter, and discovering new places together.

“When we found Accent Care, we felt the support from Day One - and they never let go.”

Doug wanted to stay at home during his illness. His daughter shares how our compassionate, professional team made that possible. From understanding his needs immediately to delivering care with empathy, quality, and dignity - it transformed their lives.

Read the full heartfelt story and explore how Accent Home Care can offer the same for your family.

Creating meaningful connections in aged care

It’s the little things - a shared laugh, a familiar song, a warm conversation - that can make the biggest difference in someone’s day.

At Accent Home Care, we believe that genuine connection is just as important as practical support. Building trust, listening deeply, and finding joy in the moment all help create a sense of belonging for the older people we care for.

As our loved ones age, it's natural to want to ensure they feel supported, valued, and connected—especially if they continue to live at home. Creating meaningful connections with elderly family members is not just about providing care; it’s about nurturing their emotional well-being and enhancin...

Last Wednesday, TTHA had the pleasure of hosting 60 carers for a truly special day out.

We started the day with an elegant High Tea in the Members Dining Room at Parliament House, which was the perfect setting for sharing stories, laughter and connecting as carers. From there, we enjoyed a leisurely stroll to the Princess Theatre to watch a matinee performance of Annie the Musical. Our group was buzzing with energy – clapping, singing and celebrating the performances delivered by the incredible cast.

Days like this remind us how important it is to pause, connect and celebrate the invaluable contribution carers make to our community. It was a privilege to share such a joyful and memorable experience together. 🌟💛👏

Have mum or dad's care needs changed?

As time goes on, your parent or loved one might need more support than they did when they were first assessed for home care. A fall, surgery, or changes in memory or mobility can mean it’s time to review their care plan.

The good news? Their services can change - and Accent Home Care is here to help guide you through the reassessment process.
