Residents at Colton Close recently got creative in preparation for our upcoming Italian Day celebration!🎨

During a recent arts and crafts session, residents came together to design and create special invitations for fellow residents and their families to join the festivities.

Everyone was looking forward to a wonderful afternoon, featuring delicious Italian-inspired finger food, a glass of wine, and a lively concert from Joe, entertaining us with a selection of traditional Italian songs.

It’s always special to see our residents playing such an important role in planning and creating memorable events for our community. Questo sì che è amore! 🍷🎶❤️

Last week, staff, residents, family and friends gathered at Clarinda on the Park to mark an incredible milestone - the 105th birthday of our much-loved resident, Jean! 🎉

Born in 1921, Jean has witnessed more than a century of history, from the challenges of the Great Depression and World War II to the many remarkable changes that have shaped the world today. Her life story is one of resilience, adventure and family.

A devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Jean has raised three children and is now proud to have eight grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren. She has travelled extensively around Australia and overseas, embracing every opportunity to enjoy life and create lasting memories.

When asked the secret to her long and happy life, Jean’s answer is simple: hard work, family, and enjoying life and travel.

Happy 105th birthday, Jean! Thank you for sharing your wisdom, warmth and wonderful stories with our Clarinda on the Park community. 💐🎂❤️

Competition, connection and plenty of community spirit were on full display at Benetas’ third annual Retirement Living Bowls Tournament!

Residents and teams from Dalkeith Heights, Bridgewater Lake Retirement Estate, St John’s Rise and Eastwood Retirement came together at Narre Warren Bowls Club for a fantastic day of friendly rivalry, laughter and connection.

From the barbeque to the bowling green, our Retirement Living team helped create a wonderful atmosphere, complete with delicious food and great company.

This year’s event also held special meaning as we honoured the memory of our late colleague Peter Harry from Bridgewater Lake Retirement Estate, who originally founded the tournament and helped create a tradition that continues to bring residents together from across our communities.

Congratulations to Dalkeith Heights, who took home the trophy for the second year running with an impressive 106 points! 🏆

It's National Volunteer Week, a time to recognise and celebrate the incredible contribution volunteers make to our communities. 💙

At Benetas, we are fortunate to be supported by a dedicated group of volunteers who generously share their time, kindness, and talents to enrich the lives of residents, clients and families across our community.

This year’s theme, “Your Year to Volunteer”, highlights the meaningful difference volunteering can make, not only for those receiving support, but for volunteers themselves.

To celebrate, we sat down with three of our inspiring volunteers to hear about their passion for aged care and what motivates them to give back.

Thank you to all our volunteers for the kindness, companionship and joy you bring each and every day. 👏

We were delighted to celebrate the wonderful mums at Bridgewater Lake with a beautiful Mother’s Day afternoon high tea. 🌸

Every woman was presented with a special gift in honour of Mother’s Day.

In recognition of ANZAC Day, our St George’s aged care home hosted a reflective service for our employees and residents to pay their respects to those who served and sacrificed for their country.

The ceremony was led by our employees and residents, honouring our Australian and New Zealand Defence members who lost their lives with a minute’s silence, and a personal tribute delivered by Defence veteran and Altona Returned and Services League of Australia representative Dean King.

With all attendees wearing a crocheted poppy handcrafted by St George’s residents, among the crowd of red poppies stood 98-year-old Defence veteran and resident George. Having served in the Korean War as part of his 20+ years serving in the Australian Navy, George paid his respects alongside his granddaughter and Benetas Registered Nurse Heather.

Inviting all to reflect in their own way, the team in the home also created a handmade mural of red and purple poppies – in memory of those who lost their lives in the battle fields of Gallipoli.

Lest we forget.

Who doesn't enjoy a morning of sunshine, fresh air, and a little friendly competition? ☀️

At Gisborne Oaks, we love taking our activities outdoors whenever we can, and this week’s bingo session was no exception. Residents enjoyed a relaxed afternoon in the sunshine, marking off their numbers, sharing laughs, and soaking up the benefits of being outside.

There’s something special about combining simple pleasures like good company, a classic game, and the warmth of the sun. It’s all part of creating moments that help everyone feel uplifted and connected.

Crowns, colours and a dazzling catwalk recently lit up Clarinda on the Park during its very first Glitz and Glamour event, with the highlight of the festivities a glamorous runway pageant organised by volunteer and Mrs Galaxy Australia finalist, Shehara Fernando.

From hair styling and makeup stations to stunning outfits and sparkling smiles, the space became a mini beauty salon as residents prepared for their moment on the runway. They then took to the catwalk, delighting the crowd with their charm, personality and flair.

With such wonderful memories made, there are already talks about bringing the Glitz and Glamour event back again next year!
