📣 Yesterday our very own Dashanpreet Kaur and myself, Karen Farrington, attended the Positive Ageing Expo hosted by Hepburn Shire Council in Trentham. It was a wonderfully informative and well-organised event!
A big thank you to all the guest speakers, including Don Henderson (Mayor, Hepburn Shire), Dr Brad Mitchell (Ulysses Motorcycle Club) and Shelly Hosking(Seniors Rights) for sharing your knowledge and insights.
We thoroughly enjoyed the live music during the lunch break and the fantastic Tai Chi demonstration—both added such a great touch to the day.
Thank you to everyone for making the event so entertaining, and of course for the delicious lunch and morning/afternoon tea. It really was well executed.
We’re excited about the future and look forward to working with many of the wonderful people and organisations we met yesterday. We’re already planning a visit with our Lifestyle Co-Ordinator, to the Daylesford Men’s Shed and other venues in the area, with our clients to see the impressive work that they do.
Here’s to more meaningful connections and positive ageing opportunities together! 🎉

While Mother Nature sent us some beautiful rain this morning which our gardens love, our resident walks changed to a Cafe Curtin visit.
Open to the public 7 days a week, how spoilt are we to have it on our doorstep? One of our beautiful residents, straight from our hairdresser enjoying her ☕️

The Ballarat North Probus Club, visited on Tuesday and toured our wonderful gardens. They were impressed by the collection of interesting plants we have here and by the size of the garden, which they did not expect.
Our thanks to Ben for his expert tour of John Curtin Aged Care green living space.

🪔✨ Dear Team,
As we prepare to celebrate the beautiful Festival of Lights, I want to extend my warmest wishes to all of you at John Curtin Aged Care.

This Diwali is all about bringing light into spaces where there may be shadows, warmth into places where it can drift away, and connection into moments of quiet. Your dedication — the small acts of kindness, the smiles, the thoughtful touches — are exactly the light that makes our community shine.

I’d also like to say a big heartfelt thank you to everyone who brought in food to share today. Your generosity and thoughtfulness add so much more to our celebration, and the sense of togetherness you’ve created is truly special.

May this Diwali bring:
• renewed energy and hope for each of us
• deep peace, good health and happiness for you and your loved ones
• moments of joy, laughter and togetherness — both at home and here at work
• a reminder that every day we have the chance to brighten someone’s day, simply by being there

From our John Curtin family to yours — thank you for making this a place of care, compassion, and truly meaningful connection. Wishing you all a safe, joyous and memorable Diwali!

Warmest regards,
Management Team

🪔🌟 Happy Diwali to each of you! 🌟🪔

What a very special day we had when the Ballarat Vintage Car Club came to John Curtin. Our residents were treated to a wonderful afternoon travelling the roads on the Canola route.
Thankyou so much to all the drivers, it was our pleasure to serve you afternoon tea. 🍰 🥪 😃
