There’s nothing quite like a little R&R at St Andrew’s ✨

This week our residents have been enjoying the simple pleasures of a quiet moment – from getting creative with a beautiful mosaic bowl to relaxing with a favourite movie. 🎨🎬

Behind moments like these is our commitment to truly personalised care – taking the time to understand what each resident enjoys, and offering a wide range of activities so everyone can spend their day in a way that feels meaningful to them.

As we look forward to Valentine’s Day tomorrow, we’re also proudly celebrating a very special milestone – the 43rd anniversary of St Andrew’s welcoming its very first resident. 💐

For more than four decades, love, dignity and connection have been at the heart of our community. To all our residents, families, staff and supporters – thank you for being part of the St Andrew’s story. Here’s to many more years of care, laughter and special moments together. 💙

Big shout out to for supporting our craft workshops, our residents LOVE them!

🧶✨ Wool Wanted!

Our resident knitting group, Knit & Knatter, has been busy turning balls of wool into warm scarves and hats for people experiencing homelessness in our region — but their supplies are running low.

If you have spare wool (all leftovers welcome), or knitting needles tucked away at home, we’d love to put them to good use. Every donation helps wrap someone in comfort as we head into the cooler months.

Donations can be dropped off at:

· St Andrew’s Ballina – 59 Bentinck St, Ballina

· St Andrew’s Byron Lodge – 10 Butler St, Byron Bay

Thanks for helping us spread a little warmth.

This Isn’t the Future for Us — It’s How We’ve Always Done Aged Care 🧡

There’s growing recognition across the sector that aged care works best when health and hospitality are fully integrated. We agree — and we also recognise ourselves in that conversation.

At St Andrew’s, this approach isn’t new. It’s how we’ve always understood our role.

Comfort. Care. Community.

Those three words aren’t a slogan for us — they describe how life is meant to feel every day.

Comfort means environments that feel like home, not institutions.

Care means strong clinical practice delivered with warmth, respect and humanity.

Community means belonging — shared meals, real relationships, familiar faces, and lives that remain connected and meaningful.

Health and hospitality aren’t separate ideas here. They’re woven together in the ordinary moments that make life good: sitting down to a proper meal, being listened to, having choice, feeling safe and known.

So while it’s encouraging to see the sector moving in this direction, for St Andrew’s this isn’t a new vision. It’s simply who we are — and always have been.

At Byron Lodge, we know that moving into a new home can feel overwhelming. That’s why our dedicated team goes the extra mile to make every resident feel welcome and part of our family.

Marco was having a tough start to his day – so Beau and Layla stepped in with kindness and a smile to lift his spirits. It’s these little moments of care that make all the difference.

💙 Because at Byron Lodge, you’re never just a resident – you’re family.

🌿 Breakfast at George’s Cottages, Byron Bay 🌞

There’s something special about starting the morning gathered around a table with people who feel like family. Breakfast at George’s Cottages is one of those moments that reminds you just how much community can brighten a day.

Fresh coffee, good food, and the kind of conversations that make you forget to check the time — but the real magic was the warmth between residents and staff. You can feel the friendships here. The easy laughter, the gentle check‑ins, the way everyone knows each other’s favourite breakfast treat… it’s the kind of connection that turns a place to live into a place to belong.

Grateful for mornings like this and the beautiful people who make George’s Cottages feel like home. 💛

This is the true spirit of Christmas shining brightly at George’s Cottages, Byron Bay.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our local Rotary members, residents without family received a beautiful Christmas hamper filled with care, comfort, and a reminder that they are held by their community.

These hampers are more than gifts — they’re a gesture of kindness, connection, and the belief that no one should feel alone at Christmas. Rotary’s commitment to service has brought so much joy and dignity to our residents today.

To Rotary, and to everyone who supports our community in big and small ways, thank you. Your compassion has made this Christmas brighter, warmer, and truly meaningful.

This is community. This is Christmas. 🎄
