We’ve been busy in the Gardening Club at Gill Waminda 🌱✨

Our green thumbs have been hard at work planting beautiful potted plants, bringing colour, life and a little extra sparkle to the Centre. We especially love picking out bright, fun and novelty pots that add that special touch 💐

With the cooler weather arriving early in Goulburn this year, we’re turning our focus to winter-friendly gardening. The group will be sharing memories of what they used to grow at home and exploring which plants can thrive in the frosty conditions - ready to fill our planter boxes with something just as vibrant ❄️🌼

Stay tuned as our garden continues to grow!

At Riverview Gardens, we recently wished Di a very happy retirement after 23 years of service 👏

Reflecting on her time, Di says there are simply too many special memories to count.

“My favourite thing about working in aged care is being able to make a difference in someone’s life,” she shares. “And the most rewarding part is the love I get back from the residents.”

Over the years, Di has taken on many roles in aged care - from working in the kitchen to becoming a Care Service Employee. To build meaningful relationships with residents and their families, she has always led with love, respect and dignity.

For those considering a career in aged care, Di’s advice is simple: be patient and caring, and treat residents as you would your own loved ones. “It’s a rewarding profession,” she says.

“My proudest moment is knowing I’ve done my best to help residents feel loved, happy and safe.”

Thank you, Di, for 23 years of compassion, dedication and heart ❤

Ewan at Maybanke has been bringing big ideas to life, one LEGO build at a time 🧱

From a detailed Japanese temple to a striking German castle, his growing collection is something to behold. Each piece reflects his creativity, patience and passion for building.

Now, he’s taking on his biggest challenge yet - the LEGO Sydney Opera House. With more than 8,500 pieces, it’s set to be an incredible showcase of his dedication and imagination 💫

Over the weekend, our Centres came together to celebrate Harmony Day - honouring the rich cultures, stories and diversity that make our communities so special ❤

At Riverview Gardens, the team marked the occasion with a shared lunch, with everyone dressed in orange or proudly wearing their cultural attire. Over at Weeroona, celebrations took the form of a vibrant potluck, with staff bringing along delicious dishes that reflected their cultural backgrounds.

Burrangiri joined in the festivities with flags of the world bingo, trivia and a cultural quiz, sparking conversations and helping everyone discover something new about each other. The day also included a baking session filled with storytelling, followed by an afternoon tea where staff and family members came together to connect and celebrate.

We love embracing the diversity across our Centres - not just during Harmony Week, but every day.

It’s never a dull day at Weeroona, especially when it’s time for their annual Olympic Games! 🏅

From javelin throw and balloon tennis to bullseye challenges, slam dunk, and even an inaugural step race, there was something for everyone to enjoy. Everyone had the chance to get involved, have a go and share plenty of laughs along the way.

To wrap up the day, households came together for a spirited cheering competition, with staff and residents proudly representing their teams. The winning household took home chocolates to share, while medals and certificates were awarded to all who participated.

But the real highlight? The joy, excitement, and priceless reactions from residents 😄

Earlier this month, Paul soaked up the vibrant atmosphere of the Moomba Festival in Melbourne. With the support of his NDIS Support Worker, he joined fellow festivalgoers, grooving along to the music and embracing the energy of the day. Paul was beaming with happiness, truly living in the moment 🎉🎶

The festival brought together people from diverse cultures, organisations and communities, showcasing colourful performances and, of course, some incredible outfits.

It was a special and meaningful day for Paul, celebrating the diversity, creativity and spirit that makes the festival so unique ✨ A day full of joy, connection and unforgettable memories - just as it should be.

With lots of good cheer and plenty of green, we celebrated St Patrick’s Day 🍀

Across the country, we donned our green outfits, enjoyed festive treats and decorated our Centres with shamrocks and rainbows. We love the vibrancy and joy this occasion brings!

Celebrating the many cultures that make our community so special 🌏

This Harmony Week, our wonderful team at Weeroona Aged Care Centre are sharing a little piece of where they come from and the cultures they’re proud of.

Across our aged care centres, we run activities specially designed for the wonderful women we care for.

At Seaforth Gardens, our monthly Queen Bees sessions are a special retreat where the ladies enjoy massages, pampering and delicious food platters - everything needed for a little relaxation. We want them to feel special, like queens. After all, great women deserve a bit of well-earned pampering 💅🏻👑👸

“I really enjoy Queen Bees. I love getting my nails done,” shares Joan.

At Burrangiri, we host Cultural & Culinary Sessions for the women at the Centre. In these small group gatherings, they come together to cook or bake traditional recipes inspired by cultural themes or seasonal celebrations 👩🏽‍🍳🥘🍰

Everyone takes part in each step of the recipe while sharing stories and memories connected to the dishes they’re preparing. It brings back cherished memories of cooking for family, hosting gatherings and celebrating together.

It’s a beautiful way to celebrate the women they’ve been, and the women they continue to be.

International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month celebrate the incredible contributions of women around the world.

Last week at The Cairns Aged Care Centre, we welcomed guest speaker Kylie Blair from the Moreton Island Rural Fire Service. Kylie is the daughter-in-law of Wish, who resides at the Centre.

Kylie shared her experience as a firefighter and spoke about one of her proudest moments. On 4 October, when a fire broke out on Moreton Island, Kylie and her team spent seven long and exhausting days battling the blaze.

The relentless fire tested them physically, mentally and emotionally, but together they fought tirelessly to protect the island’s community and wildlife. Volunteers also travelled from across Queensland, from different services and communities, to help contain the fire.

Kylie said it was one of the most exhausting experiences of her life, but also one of the most rewarding - an experience she will carry with her forever.

It was truly inspiring to hear about Kylie’s courage, dedication and commitment to serving her community.

We’ve had such a wonderful time over the past week attending Seniors Expos and community events across Sydney, the Central Coast and Port Macquarie. It was fantastic connecting with so many people in the community. Thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat!

A special thank you to the local councils for organising these meaningful events that help seniors in our communities stay connected and thrive.
