🌾🚌 Residents from Harmony Village recently enjoyed a day trip to see the famous silo art at Colbinabbin, followed by lunch at the local hotel. 🍽️

☀️ Under clear blue skies, the group gathered at the base of the towering silos to take in the murals, which celebrate local life and history.

📸 After plenty of photos (including a group shot in front of the silos), it was time to head to the local hotel for a well-earned lunch 🍽️

🚍🌄 Outings like this are a wonderful way for residents to get out and about, explore more of regional Victoria, and share new experiences together. 🤝❤️ Thank you to the Harmony Village team for organising such a memorable day. 👏✨

🐾💙 Paws, Smiles and Special Friendships at Doutta Galla Footscray! 💙🐾

At Doutta Galla Footscray, we’re fortunate to have a wonderful long-standing partnership with the Lort Smith Pet Therapy Program. 🐶✨

For around six years, Malcolm and Bella have been brightening our residents’ days, while Carla and her beloved dogs Riley and Alfie have been visiting for more than three years. Their dedication, kindness and furry companionship mean so much to everyone in our home. 🥰

Residents enjoy two pet therapy visits each week, and these special visits bring a unique kind of joy. Our four-legged friends seem to know exactly where to go, happily finding their favourite residents and settling in for cuddles, pats and plenty of affection. 🐕❤️

Many residents eagerly look forward to Mondays and Fridays, with some even saving treats in their wheelie walkers to share with their canine companions! Seeing familiar furry faces always brings smiles, laughter and cherished memories. 😊🐾

We’ve witnessed so many heartwarming moments over the years, and we love seeing the positive impact these visits have on residents’ wellbeing, connection and happiness. 🌟

We’re also proud to support the Lort Smith Pet Therapy Program by hosting pet therapy assessment days. On these special occasions, our residents have the chance to meet and interact with many dogs at once, sometimes welcoming up to 15 furry visitors in a single session! 🐶🐶🐶

A big thank you to Malcolm, Carla, Bella, Riley, Alfie and all the incredible Lort Smith volunteers who help make these moments possible. 💙👏

For World Alzheimer’s Day, we’re sharing Gerard’s story.

Gerard lives with dementia at our Avondale Heights home. His story is a reminder that dementia is only one part of a person’s life, and that good aged care begins with knowing the person behind the diagnosis.

“I’ve got dementia and therefore some things I don’t remember. That’s basically it. I can still talk.”

Everyone's experience with dementia is unique and nuanced. Read Gerard’s story to gain some insight into his perspective on living with dementia: https://www.dgas.org.au/news/i-can-still-talk-gerards-story/

We’re still receiving updates from R U OK? Day across our Homes, and they’re a good reminder that every day is a good day to ask, “R U OK?”

Our teams at Woornack and Queens Park shared a meal and made time for meaningful conversations, joined by General Manager Residential Aged Care Charlotte at Woornack and Resident Services Manager Sarah at Queens Park.

Taking the time to ask and listen can make a difference.
