It was wintry and rainy when a second Market Day for the year was held at Kings Langley recently, however the wind and rain did not hamper the upbeat spirit of the day. The fund-raising stalls were set up along the Reception corridors where bargains for all sorts of knick knacks and trinkets were snapped up. Snacks including the BBQ were enjoyed as well as the entertainment which included songs old and new. Residents and their families snuggled under cover to enjoy the lively music and comraderie of friends.
“We love Market Days because we can come out to enjoy a day of fun, music and the companionship of our friends and the staff who all work very hard to make the day a really good day out – even if it is cold and rainy” said Anna Resident.

10 Years Dedicated Service
On Tuesday 19th August at Kings Langley, we congratulated our acclaimed Director of Care, Savanthie Dias for attaining her 10 years service.

Savanthie started her tenure as a Senior Registered Nurse and was responsible the implementation of a regulatory tool called ACFI (Aged Care Funding Instrument) which was used to assess the daily care needs of permanent residents living in Aged Care Facilities.

Her rising star took her quickly to the position of Assistant Director of Care in 2018 and onto Director of Care in 2020.

During the following challenging years of COVID and various Influenza she has led her team through two Quality Commission Audits where all outcomes were met and exceeded.

Savanthie is a passionate advocate for her staff to be equipped and well trained as well as happy in their roles and she is known to drive very high standards for the wellbeing of all the residents.

“Savanthie is a hero to her staff, a good friend to many and a respected champion for the residents in her care. We are very proud to see her reach this milestone, Savanthie is an important member of our leadership team and we wish her many more year’s success with us” Zia Yasrebi, Business Manager

Independent Residents’ Mid-Year Lunch!

Independent Living Residents at Kings Langley recently came together for their Mid-Year Lunch - affectionately referred to by some as Christmas in July.

In true winter tradition, summer salads were set aside in favour of hearty mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and rich gravy. The festive spread, with contributions from everyone who attended, offered something for every palate.

The gathering was filled with fun, laughter, and the warm friendship that defines the Village community - topped off, of course, with a table of delicious desserts. It’s an event everyone looks forward to each year.

Favourite TV Show Day 📺

For many of today’s elderly, childhood memories include gathering around the television with parents and siblings - a time of fun and connection. Iconic characters like Hoss, the big-hearted son from Bonanza, Marsha (Marsha Marsha) from The Brady Bunch, and John-Boy from The Waltons became part of everyday life.

To celebrate these treasured memories, residents took part in Favourite TV Show Day, where they shared storylines, beloved characters, and reflections on how television shaped their family life. Some spoke about how TV was not only entertainment but also an educator - especially Christian programs that helped communicate the Scriptures.

Staff joined in the fun, dressing up as characters from Bob the Builder, Friends, and Sesame Street, bringing smiles and plenty of laughter. It was a heartwarming, joy-filled day for all.

Small Questions, Big Connections 💛

When a group of kids from Wahroonga Adventist School sat down with residents at Adventist Aged Care, a simple Q&A turned into something truly special.

They swapped stories, shared laughs, and traded jokes about gummy bears and octopuses. But in between the giggles came wisdom—like George, 93, who told them: “One of the best things you can be in this world is independent.”

In just a few questions, two generations found common ground and reminded us all of the power of listening.🙌

‘Christmas in July’ is a chance to enjoy the traditional winter charm of a northern hemisphere-style Christmas, complete with hearty meals, festive table settings, and warm woolly clothes to ward off the cold. It’s all enjoyed in good company, with plenty of music and laughter.

Beyond the fun, it's also a meaningful way to foster a shared sense of community and connection.
At its heart, Christmas in July brings residents together to celebrate, connect, and build a stronger sense of belonging through festive cheer.

“Since moving from the village, I’ve enjoyed so many wonderful events that confirmed I made the right decision—just look at today!” said resident Fay.

“When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie… that’s Amor’e!”

Amor’e was the theme of the day, as residents chose from a selection of masks representing their favourite music legends. Dean Martin (That’s Amor’e), Doris Day (Que Sera Sera), Tom Jones (It’s Not Unusual), and Elvis (Return to Sender) all made an appearance!

“Music is a superpower we regularly use in aged care — it has the ability to therapeutically ignite the senses and unlock memories for our residents. We’re also lucky to have a team that’s always willing to dress up and bring fun and levity to the day,” said Savanthie.

Years of Service🙌

It was a celebration of dedication and hard work at Kings Langley, as team members were recently recognised for reaching their 5- and 10-year service milestones. Each staff member was formally presented with a certificate, commemorative name badge, and a gift voucher in appreciation of their continued contribution.

The occasion was marked by heartfelt praise from management. Zia Yasrebi, Business Manager Sydney, acknowledged the impact of each team member, saying:
"The efforts of our staff do not go unnoticed. We are truly grateful to have such passionate and talented individuals on our team here at Kings Langley."

His sentiments were echoed by Director of Care, Savanthie Dias, who added, "Well done, and a special thank you for your ongoing support in all that you do. I hope your journey here continues to be long, fulfilling, and full of opportunities to learn and grow each year."

Favourite Destination – Resident Stories

When Hans Christian Andersen wrote, “To travel is to live,” he perfectly captured the belief that travel enriches our lives — opening us up to new experiences, cultures, and opportunities to learn and grow.

With that spirit in mind, we invited our residents to share a photo that best represents a destination that brought them joy, adventure, or personal enrichment. Reminiscing is a powerful way to spark memories and connection, so to make the day even more engaging, our staff dressed up in the colours and styles of their own favourite places — creating a vibrant, fun, and immersive atmosphere for everyone.

Unsurprisingly, some of the world's most beloved destinations made an appearance. Jill shared her love for Japan, where she once visited her brother. Margarita spoke about the joy of arriving in Australia with her children — a long-held dream finally realised. And Trevor proudly displayed a large photo of the Airbus A380 cockpit, recalling a memorable trip to New Zealand with his son.

“The Airbus A380 is a truly impressive plane, and I loved the opportunity to visit the cockpit. I’ll always remember this trip — not just because of the plane, but because I got to share it with my son. That made it unforgettable.”

We celebrated a momentous occasion — the 100th birthdays of six remarkable individuals!

The celebrations began with a warm welcome from Elizabeth Lodge Managing Director, Brian Swanepoel, who greeted our special guests. We were honoured to have both State Member of Parliament, Alister Henskens MP SC, and Federal Member of Parliament, Nicolette Boele, in attendance. Each delivered inspiring speeches that added meaning to the day.

Mr Henskens presented each centenarian with a special card, while Ms Boele gifted them flowers and cards — a thoughtful touch that made the day even more memorable.

Guests enjoyed exquisite catering and a delicious feast. Photographs captured the joy of the day, and the celebratory cake — cut with the help of both MPs — was a true highlight.

It was a joyful and heartwarming event, filled with laughter, celebration, and love — especially for the centenarians, their families, and friends.
