🌟 Rupanyup Nursing Home Redevelopment 🌟

We’re excited to share that Stage One of the Rupanyup Nursing Home Redevelopment is on track for completion by the end of April 2026.

To mark this important milestone, a community opening celebration will be held ahead of residents moving in — a chance for our community to come together, celebrate the progress, and welcome residents into their beautiful new home. More details will be shared soon, so stay tuned.

Stage One includes:
🏡 Seven new rooms with private ensuites
🍽️ A shared kitchen and dining room
🛋️ A quiet lounge for rest and connection
🌿 An outdoor patio and accessible garden, complete with an open‑air pavilion

The design thoughtfully balances private retreat spaces with opportunities for connection in a warm, light‑filled, home‑like environment.

This project has been made possible through Victorian Government grant funding, alongside the incredible generosity of our local community. We are deeply grateful for the donations received, which will be directed towards equipment to further enhance the space for those who will proudly call it home.

💙 Thank you for being part of this journey with us.

💜🩵 👼Each March, families and communities across Australia come together to say the names of babies and children who have died, honouring their lives and the love that remains.

Led by , Say Their Name Day is a time for remembrance, compassion and connection. If it feels right for you, you’re invited to share your baby or child’s name in the comments, or a photo, memory or few words about them. Your sharing may help someone else feel less alone. 🪽🕊️

We respectfully acknowledge that everyone remembers differently. Please do what feels right for you — there is no right or wrong way to remember.
