💛 In Loving Memory of Bob 💛

We honour a truly unforgettable man – our Bob.

Bob was one of our original live-in patients at The Laurels, and from the very beginning he became so much more than that. He was a best friend, a larrikin, an entertainer and an all-round epic human. He had a way of filling a room with laughter, stories and that unmistakable spark that was uniquely Bob.

He wasn’t just part of our days he was part of our family. The kind of person who leaves a mark, not just in memories, but in hearts.

The reality of the work we do means we sometimes have to say goodbye to people we’ve come to love dearly. It’s never easy. But we are so incredibly grateful that we were able to walk alongside Bob in his journey, to be part of his life and his story, and to share in so many moments that made us smile (and often laugh out loud).

To Bob’s beautiful family, we hold you close. Thank you for trusting us with someone so special. Please know that he will always remain a cherished part of The Laurels story.

Bob, you’ll forever be part of this place.
Forever in our hearts. 💛

A spark of kindness can make someone's day.

In respite care, we see it all the time. The extra few minutes spent listening to a story. Remembering how someone takes their tea. A quiet moment of patience when everything feels overwhelming.

These aren't random at all, really. They're intentional. They're what care should look like.

Today (and every day), we're grateful for our team who shows up with kindness, and for the families who trust us with their loved ones.

What's a small act of kindness that's stayed with you?

💛 Keeping an eye out for sepsis

Sometimes the signs of sepsis can be subtle, and that’s why awareness matters.

1. Changes in temperature
A fever, chills, shivering, or feeling unusually cold to touch can all be early signs.

2. Skin changes
Skin may appear pale, mottled or clammy. In some cases, lips or fingertips can look bluish or grey.

3. Breathing looks different
Breathing may be faster or more laboured than usual, even when resting.

4. Changes in behaviour or alertness
Confusion, extreme tiredness, difficulty waking, or someone just seeming “not themselves” can be a warning sign.

If you’re concerned, it’s important to reach out for help. Contact your GP, attend your nearest hospital or emergency department, or call 000 if symptoms are severe or getting worse quickly.

If something doesn’t feel right, it’s always okay to ask for help.
Sepsis can progress quickly, but early medical care can make all the difference. Trust your instincts.

NDIS & Domestic and Family Violence (DFV): What We Need to Talk About

People living with disability are at a significantly higher risk of experiencing Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) — and too often, it goes unseen or unspoken.

For some NDIS participants, DFV doesn’t always look like physical violence. It can include:
• Coercive control or intimidation
• Financial abuse or misuse of NDIS funds
• Restricting access to supports, transport, or communication
• Emotional abuse, threats, or constant monitoring
• Neglect or withholding care and basic needs

Disability can increase vulnerability — especially when someone relies on others for care, communication, housing, or decision-making. Fear of losing support, housing, or their NDIS plan can stop people from speaking up.

Red flags to watch for:
⚠️ Sudden withdrawal or changes in behaviour
⚠️ Someone else speaking for the participant or controlling their choices
⚠️ Increased anxiety, low mood, or fear around certain people
⚠️ Missed appointments, reduced independence, or unexplained injuries

Everyone deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported.

If you’re an NDIS participant, a family member, or a support worker — and something doesn’t feel right — trust that instinct. Support is available, and help can be provided safely and confidentially.

If you have concerns about one of our clients or someone you support, please reach out. A conversation can make all the difference.

💙 Safety is not optional.
💙 Silence protects harm — speaking up saves lives.

🎄 Christmas at The Laurels 🎄

While Christmas looks different for everyone, one thing remains the same at The Laurels — care never stops.

This Christmas, our heartfelt thanks go to the incredible team members who will be working through the festive season, showing up with compassion, patience and kindness for those who are very much part of the Laurels family.

To the families who trust us with the care of their loved ones, thank you for welcoming us into your lives and allowing us to be part of your journey.

From all of us at The Laurels, we wish you a Christmas filled with comfort, connection and gentle moments — however and wherever you’re spending it.

🤍 Merry Christmas from The Laurels family 🤍

🦘 A Day Out at Australia Zoo!

At The Laurels, we believe everyone deserves the chance to experience the joy of new adventures. To get out, laugh, and make memories that last. That’s why days like this are so special to us.

Our wonderful clients enjoyed a day trip to Australia Zoo, getting up close with incredible animals, soaking up the sunshine, and sharing plenty of smiles along the way. It’s all part of ensuring that our clients not only receive the care they need but also get to live life to the fullest and are filled with connection and a sense of adventure.

These moments remind us why we do what we do — because care is about so much more than support, it’s about creating opportunities for people to truly live.
