Over the past three months, our home has enjoyed a season of meaningful activity, positive change, and community connection.
We welcomed our new Lifestyle Coordinator, Tony Griffiths, whose background in diversional therapy, gerontology, and music therapy has already strengthened the vibrancy of our Lifestyle programs. The festive season featured special touches such as a gift wrapping service to support residents at Christmas, and ongoing sales of handmade greeting cards that help fund our Lifestyle Program. Our Australia Day raffle brought joy and participation, with staff member Wiki taking home the prize. Communication and involvement remain priorities, with Resident and Representative Meetings scheduled monthly throughout 2026 to support transparent dialogue and feedback opportunities, along with a well- attended Consumer Advisory Board meeting in February led by senior leadership. Staff recognition remains a highlight, celebrating December’s winner PCA Will and January’s winner Tori and this month RN Babu for their outstanding contributions. In maintenance, we farewelled Colin as he moved to a role closer to home and welcomed Sanjay Prasad, an experienced professional to support facility upkeep and safety standards. Dining enhancements continue, including adding our grazing fridges to remain dedicated to residents, ensuring comfort and dignity in accessing snacks throughout the day and night. Finally, the home has begun rolling out its refreshed Strathpine logo, with new uniforms and badges appearing gradually across the service. As we enter Autumn, our focus remains on strengthening social engagement, enhancing communication with families, improving our facility environment, and celebrating the community spirit that makes our home such a warm and welcoming place.
