💜𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲💜
Today we're celebrating the incredible people who help make our residents feel at home every day.

A special congratulations to Katrina, who was recognised as a winner for Thank You Cleaner Day 2026. While Katrina does a wonderful job keeping our home sparkling clean, it's her kindness, warmth and genuine care for residents that really makes her shine. She's always ready with a smile, a chat, and a helping hand, and she's a bright part of so many residents' (and staff) days.

We're also incredibly grateful to all of our cleaning team. Their work is essential in creating a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment for everyone who lives, visits and works here. Behind the scenes and often without fanfare, they play a vital role in supporting the health, wellbeing and quality of life of our community.

Thank you, Katrina, and thank you to all of our amazing cleaners.
We appreciate everything you do ✨🏡

🎀 For many people, breast cancer awareness isn't about a month on the calendar. It's about a colleague's courage, a friend's journey, a family member's fight, or a life forever changed.🎀

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is about standing with colleagues, friends, family members and loved ones who have faced (and are facing) a breast cancer diagnosis, and remembering that behind every statistic is a very real person, family and story.

Here at NCCCA, this cause is especially close to our hearts. We've supported those we care so deeply for through their journeys, celebrated milestones, shared difficult days and been reminded just how important strength, hope and community can be. Like so many others, we know the impact breast cancer can have, not just on individuals, but on everyone who loves and cares for them.

This month, we're wearing pink to show our support, celebrate those in remission, remember those we've lost, and stand beside everyone currently facing their own battle.

💗 A simple action can make a difference. The BreastScreen NSW mobile van is scheduled to visit Cessnock in January 2027.
If you're eligible, consider making an appointment and encouraging the important people in your life to do the same. Early detection saves lives.

It's time to talk about dementia.

Many of us know someone living with dementia, whether it's a parent, partner, neighbour, friend or colleague. Yet for many families, it can still feel like a difficult topic to discuss.

This , we're encouraging open conversations that help build understanding, reduce stigma and connect people with support.

Did you know?
• Dementia is Australia's leading cause of death
• Around 446,500 Australians are living with dementia
• Dementia is not a normal or inevitable part of ageing
• Around 1.7 million Australians are involved in the care of someone living with dementia

Talking openly about dementia can make it easier for people to ask questions, share their experiences and seek help when they need it.

If you or someone you care about is affected by dementia, Dementia Australia has spent 40 years building a world of support for you. Visit dementia.org.au or contact the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500.

💜 Together we can create more informed, inclusive and supportive communities.

💜 A special request from two of our residents 💜

📰 Fay & Kate asked us if we could share their message with the newspapers. While we couldn't quite make the paper, we promised we'd share it here instead, and show them to prove it!
A promise is a promise.

The most meaningful feedback comes from the people who call NCCCA home.
Thank you for your kind words and for allowing us to share them with our community.

👗"This reminds me of a dress I used to have..." 💜

Some special memories were brought to life last week when we welcomed Wearing Our Memories to spend time with our residents.

Through a fascinating collection of authentic vintage clothing and accessories, residents were invited to explore fashions from decades gone by, touch different fabrics, share stories, and reminisce about moments from their own lives.

A big thank you to Wearing Our Memories for sharing this wonderful collection and creating such a warm and engaging experience for everyone involved.

🌼 Spring dining begins next week, and we can't wait to serve up some resident-approved favourites!

As we prepare to launch our new Spring Menu next week, our residents were invited to take part in a special Taste Testing Lunch to help shape what's on the plate.
Residents sampled a selection of finger-sized menu items and provided feedback on what they enjoyed most using a simple tasting scorecard.
Their thoughts, preferences and suggestions help ensure our menus reflect the tastes and choices of the people who call our community home.

A big thank you to our hospitality team, Morrison Living, for preparing a delicious showcase of spring flavours, and to our residents for sharing their feedback and helping us create a menu they'll love!

We're stronger when we stay connected 💛💜

This R U OK? Day, let's take a moment to check in with the people around us.

In community and aged care, we see every day how powerful a simple conversation can be. It might be noticing a change in someone's behaviour, seeing that a usually social colleague seems withdrawn, or realising you haven't seen a neighbour out and about for a while.

Sometimes, a simple "Are you OK?" can open the door to support, connection and understanding.

Ask. Listen. Support. Because looking out for each other matters.
