Three of the best at Live Lighter Aged Care Games 🥇
Our three Clarence teams - the Clarence Cheetahs (Residential), the Clarence Conquerors (Albany Home Care), and the Denmark Diamonds (Denmark Home Care), proudly represented Clarence Estate at this year’s Live Lighter Games at the Albany Leisure and Aquatic Centre.
For our Clarence Estate Cheetahs, this year was extra special. After many years of health restrictions keeping our residential consumers from competing, they finally made their long-awaited return, and they came back with huge smiles, plenty of spirit, and a name with a bit of history.
The “Cheetahs” nickname comes from an old rumour that we were once caught “cheating” (cue the eye roll), but this year they showed nothing but teamwork, enthusiasm, and positivity.
Our Clarence Conquerors from the Albany Community Centre have competed in previous years and once again did us proud, securing second place overall! The excitement from everyone involved was brilliant.
Our Denmark Diamonds, also from our Home Care program, returned to the Games and put in an amazing effort, showing great sportsmanship, energy, and plenty of laughs.
Across all three Clarence teams, there was plenty of friendly banter, and good times from start to finish. The event included chair hockey, pass ball, beanbag
toss, and skittles, with teams rotating through each challenge to take on all their rivals.
Everyone enjoyed a shared Subway-and-chips lunch between events, keeping everyone fuelled and ready for the next round.
Before presentations, the staff took to the floor for a special event, and it was hilarious! Plenty of laughs were had by everyone watching, and it added a
perfect, light-hearted finish to an already fantastic day.
A huge well done to all involved in organising such a well-run and inclusive event for older people across the Great Southern.
