☘️ St Patrick’s Day at Fairway ☘️

We well and truly got into the Irish spirit today—with outrageous costumes, a few cheeky leprechauns causing trouble, and plenty of laughs along the way. 🍀

Residents enjoyed festive green drinks, great company, and a lively round of Irish-themed bingo that had everyone smiling and joining in the fun.

It was a day filled with joy, connection, and just a touch of Irish luck… we’re still not sure where those leprechauns disappeared to! 🌈

💜 Friendships at Fairway 💜

There’s something special about friendships that flourish over a simple cup of coffee ☕

At Fairway, it’s often the little moments that mean the most like sitting together at a local café and sharing stories from years gone by.

Friendship in aged care is powerful. It reduces loneliness, strengthens wellbeing, and reminds us all that no matter our age, we thrive when we feel seen, heard, and valued. Watching our residents engage so warmly with one another out in the community is a beautiful reminder that connection truly is at the heart of what we do.

Because life is always better shared 💬✨

The Mobile Men’s Shed workbench has arrived! 🛠️

The Mobile Men’s Shed brings the shed to you, right here at Fairway. With a growing number of male residents entering aged care, the need for meaningful, hands-on engagement has never been clearer, and we’re ready to get started.

🌟 A huge thank you to the Bayside Men’s Shed for their collaboration and support in building this workbench for Fairway! 👏

Planning sessions are already underway as we prepare for our first project. From building bird boxes to tackling helpful fixes around the home, the men will roll up their sleeves, reconnect with practical skills and share the knowledge and craftsmanship they’ve built over a lifetime. It’s all about purpose, mateship and pride in creating something tangible.

Volunteers are crucial to making this a success. If you’d like to join us — or know someone who would — we’d love to hear from you!

✨ A New Dining Experience in House 6 ✨

Our beautiful new dining room in House 6 is offering more than just a meal — it’s an experience. 🍽️

With our new service model, residents are invited to choose their meals directly from the servery, where our chef proudly presents each dish. Being able to see the food, select what appeals to them, and decide on portion size empowers residents and enhances independence.

Fine dining crockery, beautifully presented meals, and soft music playing gently in the background create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where mealtimes feel special.

We’re excited that this model extends across the whole home, with our new downstairs dining area opening very soon.

Because dining should always be about choice, dignity and enjoyment. 🍽️✨

Resident Spotlight: Robin Croton 💬

This week we sat down with Robin to learn a little more about the woman behind the warm smile.

✨ A favourite childhood memory?

Jumping off the shed roof with my mates onto the cement driveway! “We thought we were invincible,” she laughs. It was a carefree time filled with laughter and fearless adventure.

✨ A tradition close to your heart?

Friday night family dinners. No matter how busy life was, everyone came together. Those evenings created a deep sense of connection and belonging.

✨ A moment that changed your perspective?

My father’s cancer diagnosis. “It makes you realise how fragile and precious time is.” Family, love, and not taking a single day for granted became what truly matters.

✨ How do you recharge?

Sleep! Robin believes a good night’s rest clears the mind and restores the body. “Sometimes the simplest things are the most important.”

✨A book that left an impression?

Atlas Shrugged by author Ayn Rand made a strong impression on me. It’s a story that sparked reflection about independence and standing by your principles.

✨Favourite way to spend a quiet weekend?

By the ocean. “There’s something calming about the sea. It gives you space to think and breathe.”

✨ A proud moment?

Helping my son buy a home. “It’s a special feeling to support someone you love and see them settled and secure.”

Thank you, Robin, for sharing your story with us 💜

🥞Flipping into Shrove Tuesday at Fairway!🥞

Yesterday we celebrated Shrove Tuesday the best way we know how, with fresh pancakes, sweet toppings, and plenty of smiles. From classic lemon and sugar to berries, ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Shrove Tuesday has long been a day of gathering, tradition, and sharing simple pleasures before the season of Lent begins. For many of our residents, it brought back fond memories of cooking in busy family kitchens, flipping pancakes for children and grandchildren, and sitting around the table together.

At Fairway, these traditions continue, creating moments of nostalgia. Because it’s not just about the pancakes… it’s about the stories and laughter around the table 💛

What’s your favourite pancake topping? 🥞

💜 After five weeks overseas, one of our resident’s daughters returned worried about how her mum had coped without their daily visits.

What she found surprised her.

“I found mum to be very alert and engaged and looking very well… I strongly believe this is thanks to the new Lifestyle Program in House 5.”

Our Additional Lifestyle Options program goes beyond basic care, offering personalised engagement for residents, including those living with advanced neurological conditions such as dementia. Through meaningful group activities and one-on-one enrichment, we focus on what matters most — quality of life.

“This program is proving to be life changing for my mum and I will be forever grateful.”

🥳 Celebrating Val’s 103rd Birthday 🥳

Today we celebrated the incredible Val’s 103rd birthday, and what a beautiful afternoon it was. Val has played the cello her whole life and performed alongside many famous musicians over the years. Music has always been part of her story — and her family have lovingly followed in her footsteps.

For her birthday, Val’s family gifted her something truly special: a private concert just for her. As the music filled the room, Val grew teary watching the next generation’s talent play with such love and skill. 💜

We then shared a lovely afternoon tea, celebrating not just an extraordinary milestone, but a life rich in music, family and memories.

Fairway has many beautiful spaces to hold special occasions and milestone celebrations.

If you’d like to celebrate a special moment with your loved one, please email lifestyle@fairwayagedcare.org.au
or call us on 1300 804 874.

🎂 Happy 103rd Birthday, Val! 🎂

🚌 Bus Trip to the Bay 🍦

Our residents enjoyed a beautiful bus trip to the beach yesterday, soaking up the fresh air, sweet treats and plenty of smiles.

Our Fairway bus heads out each week to fun and meaningful locations such as local markets, beaches, cafés, art galleries, schools, and sometimes just a scenic drive to enjoy the view. These outings support wellbeing, spark memories, encourage conversation and create moments our residents truly look forward to.

There’s something special about watching faces light up as the bus pulls away and the adventure begins 💛

🎹 Music at the Heart of Fairway 🎶

Located at the front of Fairway is our beautiful Baby Beale Grand Piano, a much-loved piece that has been with us for many years and played by countless talented residents and entertainers along the way.

Today, it truly came to life with a wonderful concert by Piano Pete. From well-known classics we all sang along to, to a few tunes that had us up and dancing, it was a joyful afternoon filled with music, smiles and connection. 💛

🎼 Know someone who plays the piano?
We’re always on the lookout for talented musicians to share their gift with our community!
