Our residents had a wonderful day out at the Allora Heavy Horse Festival today! ๐ŸŽ

We enjoyed watching the beautiful Clydesdales being shown across a range of events and demonstrations. It was extra special cheering on our Lifestyle Officer Mel and her horse, who even took home a win in one of the categories! ๐Ÿ‘

A big thank you to the Darling Downs Heavy Horse Festival for accommodating our residents and helping make the day such an enjoyable experience.

We brought a little of the Apple & Grape Festival to Akooramak this week! ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ‡

On Tuesday our residents enjoyed a trip to Stanthorpe for the Seniors Concert and morning tea. Today we continued the fun with our own games, using water balloons as grapes for a grape squash and trying our hand at apple stacking โ€” with four apples being the record!

Our Lifestyle Team joined in the fun too as always, dressing up in some very creative costumes including grapes, apples and even a wine bottle! ๐Ÿ‡๐ŸŽ๐Ÿท

A fun couple of days filled with laughs and friendly competition.

๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ–๏ธ Beach-Themed Volleyball Fun! ๐Ÿ

We had so much fun at our beach-themed volleyball day! There were lots of laughs, friendly competition, and plenty of cheering โ€” with staff joining in the fun as well.

Our residents loved getting involved, staying active, working on their coordination and motor skills, and most importantly, enjoying time together. And to top it off, everyone enjoyed ice cream Drumsticks and delicious pina coladas for the full beach experience!

A fantastic day full of movement, smiles, and beach vibes! ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ’›

This week was all about sharing the love!
Our residents had a wonderful time decorating sweet lady beetle biscuits, getting creative with icing and sprinkles.
We also made beautiful Valentineโ€™s Day cards to share the love with another local facility โ€“ spreading kindness beyond our own walls and brightening someone elseโ€™s day. ๐Ÿ’Œ

To top it off, residents and some staff shared their best love advice was so much wisdom and warmth in the room.

A truly special week filled with connection, creativity

A few afternoons this week the residents took a trip to Queen Mary Falls, where everyone enjoyed the fresh air, beautiful scenery and the peaceful sounds of nature. A highlight of the afternoon was feeding the birds โ€” watching them gather brought plenty of smiles and laughter.๐Ÿฆœ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿƒ

Itโ€™s wonderful to be able to get out into our beautiful local surrounds and create special moments together. Days like this are what itโ€™s all about ๐Ÿ’š
