Valentine’s Day was filled with sweetness and smiles at our special morning tea 💕

Residents enjoyed chocolate-dipped cookies, cups of tea and lovely conversations about love and friendship. On arrival, everyone received a heart-shaped envelope, hidden inside two of them were the words “I love you”, our lucky door prize winners the proud recipients of heart-shaped boxes of chocolates. 🍫❤️

The tea bag throwing competition brought plenty of laughter and a little friendly rivalry, a perfect reminder that Valentine’s Day is about celebrating, joy and sharing special moments together. 💖

A very special performance today at South Grafton Community Aged Care.
Fully kilted Jacaranda Highland Dancers performed for our residents, creating a particularly special moment for a resident who was once a Highland Dance teacher and judge.

Each performance was filled with grace, tradition, and heart bringing tears to our eyes.

We are so grateful for this beautiful experience. Thank you to the Jacaranda Highland Dancers and their families who made this performance possible.

January has been a joyful start to the year at South Grafton Community Aged Care. The home has been filled with music, movement and meaningful moments. Our residents enjoyed wonderful entertainment from singers and dancers, along with engaging and purposeful everyday activities such as folding laundry, gardening, and socialising together.

We also loved visits from Gus the therapy dog, which brought extra smiles, comfort, and laughter to everyone.

Thank you to our residents and staff for making January such a lovely month!

The Crafty Chooks had a big morning at South Grafton Community Aged Care. They spent their time making Australia Day decorations: flags, streamers, and a lot of glitter. ✨

But as always, they shared more than just craft supplies. Between the cutting and gluing came laughter, stories, and the kind of friendships that go deeper than words. ❤️

Paper, glue, sisterhood, and new memories — that’s what the Crafty Chooks are all about. 🐔

🎸🎤 Less Conversation, More Celebration! 🎤🎸

Residents and staff came together to celebrate Elvis Presley’s birthday with a fun-filled morning of Elvis-themed karaoke. There were plenty of smiles, laughter, and toe-tapping moments as everyone joined in singing along to the classics.
The biggest surprise came from our usually quiet Wellbeing Assistant Jesse, who revealed a hidden singing talent that completely wowed residents and colleagues alike. His Elvis performance truly stole the show!
A huge thank you to John for being such a good sport and helping make the celebration so memorable — you really brought the Elvis magic to life!
It was a fantastic morning full of music, memories, and togetherness.

A Wonderful Start for Our New Residents!

Our new residents have had an amazing first 10 days settling into their new home, and we couldn’t be more delighted to see them already connecting, creating, and enjoying life together.

From gentle morning walks and relaxing manicures, to lively card games and festive craft sessions. The past week has been filled with laughter, conversations and friendships.

One of the highlights was welcoming the talented Ukette's Group and a joyful St Joseph's Primary School Christmas concert a beautiful way to bring our residents and the wider community together.

We’re so proud of how quickly everyone is settling in, and we look forward to many more days filled with activities, connections, and fun.

Last night, we had the local Fire Brigade visit our home for a walk-through to familiarise themselves with the building. Our amazing Maintenance Supervisor, Millie, QLD Maintenance Manager, Simon, and Site Supervisor, Andy, were on hand to give them the tour.

A big thank you to the Fire Brigade for their time, and of course, pizza was enjoyed by all for dinner! 🍕👨‍🚒
