Care for a carer: Making carers visible

This National Carers Week, we recognise the many family members and friends who provide unpaid care and support to someone important in their lives.

Across the Alwyndor community, we see the valuable role carers play in supporting the wellbeing, independence and connection of older people. This week is an opportunity to acknowledge their contribution and remember that carers also need care, understanding and support.

A simple check-in, a listening ear or an offer of practical help can make a meaningful difference.

To every carer in our community, thank you for all that you do.

Celebrating the people who shape our community.

For International Day of Older Persons, we invited some of our residents to reminisce about what they wanted to be when they grew up.

The answers were wonderfully varied. Some went on to fulfil those early ambitions, while others carried them into different parts of their lives. Tina hoped to become a dressmaker and fondly recalled making clothes for her children, while Ray dreamed of becoming a truck driver and went on to make it his career.

In the spirit of this year’s theme, “The Age of Longevity,” we celebrate older people throughout the Alwyndor community and the experiences they continue to share.

Volunteering in aged care is as rewarding as it is meaningful 💚

There's something truly special about the connection and sense of belonging that comes from giving back to your community.

Whether it's lending your time to support with social outings, like our lovely volunteer Sally, or helping out with transport assistance and gardening, every contribution matters.

If you're interested in finding out more about volunteering with Alwyndor, we would love to hear from you.

It’s time to talk about dementia.

This Dementia Action Week, we’re encouraging more open conversations about dementia.

An estimated 446,500 Australians are living with dementia in 2026, and around 1.7 million people are involved in the care of someone living with dementia. Behind those numbers are people with their own stories, relationships and ways of staying connected.

At Alwyndor, dementia is part of the lives of some of the people we support, their families and carers. We recognise the care our dedicated team provides, and the importance of listening to and including people living with dementia in everyday life.

Talking openly about dementia can help build understanding, foster connections, and reduce stigma. Let’s keep the conversation going. 💜

Today we're asking a small, but powerful question... R U OK? 💛

Checking in with the people around us can have a deeply meaningful impact, which is why our team took a moment to pause, connect, and share their best yellow outfits in recognition of R U OK?Day.

We all experience life's ups and downs, but having someone to listen and care can be truly lifechanging. If you're in need of a little support, please don't hesitate to reach out to our friendly team - not just today, but any day.

Today, we celebrate World Physiotherapy Day and the work of our incredible physiotherapists, who support our community to stay moving, independent and living life to the fullest 💪

Did you know that just 30 minutes of exercise 5 times a week can reduce your risk of stroke by 25 percent? This year's theme shines a light on the importance of physical activity to prevent, manage and rehabilitate cardiovascular disease and stroke, and even little changes can make a big difference in your health.

Our physiotherapists can work closely with you to develop tailored exercise plans that build strength, support recovery, and make staying active a sustainable part of everyday life.
