This National Carers Week, we're encouraging open and honest conversations about one of life's most challenging yet most important topics, end-of-life care. At Calvary Flora McDonald Aged Care in Adelaide and Calvary Kooyong in Caulfield South, we welcomed Violet to showcase its free online planning tool, Care Compass.

Calvary welcomes the launch of Care Compass, as it is another way to help individuals and their loved ones prepare and not feel overwhelmed. Open and honest conversations need to happen, even when they can be tough. The Care Compass helps guide people through the process and identify what decisions need to be made when people are planning the last stages of their life.

All Australians deserve compassion and clarity when it comes to end-of-life care. Visit our website to learn more: https://ow.ly/LL0b50XcQeu

Recently, we revved up some smiles at our Calvary Mirridong Aged Care home! Our residents had a wonderful time when the Vintage & Classic Car Club Ballarat came to visit. Everyone loved admiring the beautiful old cars and chatting with their proud owners. 🚗

A big thank you to the Car Club for sharing their time and passion with us, and to our fantastic staff, including Leisure and Activities Coordinator Sally Lansdowne, for helping residents enjoy such a special day.

This month, our incredible Retirement Living Manager, Rickylie Tabone, organised for the Ambulance Victoria team to visit our Barongarook Gardens and Balmoral Mews Retirement Living Communities as part of SHOCKtober. Shocktober is Ambulance Victoria's month-long national campaign which takes place during October every year to raise awareness about cardiac arrest and the importance of learning CPR.

During their visit, the Ambulance Victoria team educated residents on the difference between a cardiac arrest and a heart attack, as well as the vital steps to take in an emergency, including how to perform CPR and use a defibrillator.

Residents also got some hands-on practice with CPR equipment and defibrillators under professional guidance. These sessions were an excellent way to empower residents with lifesaving knowledge. A big thank you to the wonderful Ambulance Victoria team for their time and dedication, to Rickylie for organising, and to our residents for their enthusiasm and participation!

Caring for others takes heart, strength and support.

This National Carers Week, we're celebrating the remarkable people who care for loved ones and community members, including Calvary staff and volunteers who provide compassionate care every day.

Caring for others is deeply meaningful, but it can also be demanding. Those who care for others deserve care too, and taking time to rest, connect, and recharge sustains the compassion that makes caring possible.

Today marks the beginning of National Carers Week, we’re celebrating the care that connects and the people who make it possible.

When Christabel transitioned from hospital to home, her journey was guided by Calvary’s connected care teams; nurses, allied health professionals and home carers working together to ensure comfort, continuity and compassion.

It’s a reminder that care doesn’t stop at discharge. Behind every recovery is a network of carers, in hospitals, homes and communities, walking alongside each person on their journey to wellbeing.

Thank you to all the carers who bring the Spirit of Calvary to life every day. Visit our website to read about Christabel's journey from hospital to home: https://ow.ly/fX0N50X8hWC

This World Mental Health Day, we asked staff at Calvary’s Hyson Green, Canberra’s dedicated private mental health facility, to share their insights on care, connection and wellbeing.

They reflected on how attitudes toward mental health have changed, and what they wish more people understood about mental health.

Thank you to the wonderful Hyson Green team for sharing your perspectives. When we talk openly about mental health, we help reduce stigma and create better support for our patients, our colleagues, and our community.

Congratulations to Carolyn Whamond, our Volunteer Services Manager in Tasmania, who recently received the Excellence in Volunteer Leadership and Management Award at the Volunteering Tasmania Awards!

This is the second year in a row that Calvary’s volunteer program has been recognised, following last year’s award for Inclusive Volunteering. The award celebrates Carolyn’s outstanding leadership of more than 70 volunteers from all walks of life, who bring compassion and care to patients, visitors and staff across Calvary’s Hobart hospitals every day.

Now in her eleventh year in the role, Carolyn says: “Calvary has a genuine passion for volunteers and volunteering because it is an opportunity to continue giving back to our community.”

Well done to Carolyn and to all of our incredible volunteers – showing the power of care, connection and community. Inspired to start your own volunteering journey with Calvary? Visit our website to learn how you can make a difference: https://ow.ly/238n50X8hQA

What started as flower deliveries has blossomed into so much more! Our partnership with NOSS Tasmania is creating meaningful intergenerational bonds at Calvary Riverside Views. NOSS clients create and deliver flower arrangements for residents, share afternoon teas and conversations and gain hands-on experience in our Calvary Riverside Views café.

The true magic of this partnership shines in the conversations. As Calvary Riverside Views resident Lynn pointed out, “There is no judgement or barriers when they’re chatting with each other. They just enjoy each other’s company.” This is what person-centred care looks like, where everyone is welcome, valued, and connections can flourish.

Today marks World Animal Day, and at Calvary, we witness daily how animals transform lives.

Across Calvary's hospitals and aged care homes, visiting animals bring joy, comfort, and companionship – from therapy dogs to farm animals and feathered friends. These special visits remind us of the powerful bond between humans and animals.

Pictured are Janey, Phaedra, Donnie, and Alaska – some of the incredible therapy dogs who, alongside their dedicated handlers, bring smiles to patients, visitors, and staff across Calvary's Adelaide Hospitals.

We sincerely thank and acknowledge these wonderful companions for the happiness they bring and the special role they play in supporting care, connection, and community.

Margaret has called our Calvary Haydon Retirement Community home for 12 years. As her needs have changed, so too has the support she receives.

These days, that support ranges from weekly shopping trips with our Home Care team to volunteering with the knitting group at the Calvary Haydon Aged Care home next door. “I’m so happy when I get to see them, and I think they’re happy to see me! I always get a big smile,” Margaret says.

This is connected care in action – adaptable support that allows those we care for can stay independent and part of a vibrant community at every stage of life. Visit our website to learn more: https://ow.ly/vw6u50X5YaC

Today marks the International Day of Older Persons, a time to recognise the dignity, wisdom and connection older people bring to our communities.

At Calvary, we celebrate these contributions every day. Recently, at St Jude's Aged Care home, residents, families, and staff came together for a vintage exhibition in celebration of Dementia Action Week, led by remarkable Leisure and Lifestyle Coordinator, Courage Tetteh.

In this video, St Jude's residents John and Maureen share how familiar objects – including John's collection of old telephones – sparked memories and connection, while Courage reflects on the power of familiar objects in sparking joy and connection.

Today serves as a reminder of why these moments matter. Together, let's continue to create spaces where older people are honoured, valued and celebrated. Visit our website to learn more about aged care at Calvary St Jude’s: https://ow.ly/jjAC50X44ki
