Meet Roy! 🐾
We’ve been so lucky to have the company of Roy at Mareeba over the past few weeks — and it’s safe to say he’s stolen a few hearts along the way! Our residents (and their families!) light up whenever he visits, proving just how powerful the presence of pets can be in aged care.

Companionship, comfort, and connection — that’s what Roy brings with every wag of his tail. 🐶💛

A big thank you to our wonderful chef Lloyd for sharing his furry friend with us!

Cuppa for Dementia – Take Two! ☕💜

This time we brought the fun to our Fairweather Unit, joined by our wonderful residents and their families for another beautiful morning together. The smiles, laughter, and sense of connection truly made the day special.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made it happen — our incredible Fairweather staff for ensuring our residents looked their best and helping throughout the morning, Jamie and Zac for moving furniture and cleaning, and our amazing catering team for putting on an absolute banger of a morning tea!

Special thanks to Cath, Peta, and Linda for their ongoing support, our Leisure & Lifestyle team for everything in between, and of course Brendon Rose for the fantastic entertainment that had everyone tapping their feet!

And to our residents’ families — thank you for showing up, for your continued support, and for being part of our Fairweather community. 💜

Because as we always say — teamwork really does make the dream work! ✨

Cultural Day at Mareeba!
Yesterday our residents celebrated Diwali – the Festival of Lights! ✨
The day was filled with colour, creativity, and culture as residents enjoyed making India-inspired art and took part in an armchair travel experience exploring the beauty and traditions of India.

Our talented chef, Binoj, treated everyone to a delicious spread of authentic Indian dishes, giving residents a true taste of the celebration. To top it all off, our staff joined in the fun by dressing in bright, vibrant colours to embrace the festive spirit!

What a wonderful way to celebrate culture, connection, and community at Mareeba!
