A little Koala-y shaped friend was spotted on a mission outside of this week! Not sure what mischief he was up to, but he seemed to move with purpose!

Thanks for sharing this moment with us ✨️

If you have videos or photos from around Bethsalem Care, we'd love to see them! Send us a DM for how!

Happy Thursday! 🐨🌻

We've been reviewing our Infection Control Policies in light of the current health climate. Swipe through for our latest visitor update 👇

We’re continuing to review and adapt our Infection Prevention & Control strategies to ensure everyone at Bethsalem Care stays safe and well.

🧪 Regular RAT testing every 48 hours is no longer required, but we encourage visitors to stay mindful of any cold or flu symptoms.

If you’re feeling unwell — even just a little — please rest up and visit once you’re better. RAT kits are available at reception if you’d like to test before coming in.

When you do visit, please sign in and out using the EntrySign Kiosk, and continue to use hand sanitiser and wash your hands often.

Together, we can keep our Bethsalem family healthy and protected. 💚

📞 For any questions or updates, call us on (08) 8321 0300 or email admin@bethsalemcare.com.au

Our Winter Warmer nights have brought joy and connection to our residents and their families! 🎥☕️❄️ 🔥

We shared a lovely warm meal of hot comforting soup and sandwiches followed by sticky date pudding with custard. Following dinner, we stayed together to watch a classic movie and share in some hot chocolate with marshmallows.

We've loved watching our community come together to create cherished memories and make new friendships.

It has been a lovely way to chase the winter blues a way, and a highlight on the August calendar. Thanks to all who joined us and our amazing staff for making it happen! ❤️

• Christadelphian Aged Care Conference •

Last week, Board and Leadership Teams from Christadelphian aged care providers across Australia — Christadelphian Homes (NSW), Maranatha (QLD), Olivet (VIC), and Bethsalem Care (SA) — came together for a three-day conference in Sydney. 🌿

Hosted at Ashburn House and Courtlands Village, the event was a wonderful opportunity to collaborate, share knowledge, and explore the future of aged care together.

We were honoured to hear valuable insights from senior representatives of Ageing Australia, Stewart Brown, and DH Aged Care Consulting. The conference wrapped up with an inspiring strategy session led by Ant Pearce, challenging us all to stay focused on our mission — providing care as a witness and meeting the needs of ageing Australians with compassion and excellence. 💙
