What a magical evening at the Tanunda Christmas Pageant! Barossa Village joined the fun with Howie the Bus fully decked out and bursting with festive cheer!

The turnout from residents, staff, families and the wider community was incredible. Smiles, laughter, carols, costumes and Christmas joy filled the streets as we all came together to celebrate the start of the festive season in the Barossa.

Moments like these remind us of the power of community - coming together, sharing joy, and creating memories that last. A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring the float to life and to all who cheered us on along the way.

Here’s to a festive season full of connection, celebration, and More Good Days!

For Kylie, working at Barossa Village feels like being part of a team where everyone has your back.

She loves spending time with residents. Listening, learning, sharing and teaching. Every day brings moments where she can make life more enjoyable, more fun and more meaningful for the people she supports.

Kylie knows she’s making a real impact. Whether it’s helping residents do the things they love, creating moments of joy, or simply bringing a smile to someone’s face, she treasures the laughter and love that fill her days.

Her work matters because she gets to make a difference in someone’s life, every single day.

We are thrilled to share that Barossa Village has been awarded Best Community Float at the 2025 Barossa Christmas Parade.

This year our entry embraced the theme Joy in Life’s Little Moments, brought to life through Howie, our bright 'More Good Days' community bus, surrounded by an incredible group of staff from across all work areas, families, children, volunteers, residents and even a few very photogenic puppies. And of course, bubbles. So many bubbles floating through the crowd, catching the sunset light and sparking delight in every direction.

Our message was simple. Christmas does not need to be grand or expensive to be meaningful. Often it is the small, gentle moments that stay with us. A child reaching for bubbles, a resident waving from the bus window, shared laughter, a friendly smile. Tiny moments that connect us, warm the heart and remind us what matters most.

Thank you to each person who joined us, helped prepare, dressed up, blew bubbles, handed out lollies or cheered along the path. You made our presence shine and helped turn a bus into a moment of joy for the whole community.

This award belongs to all of us. Thank you!!

Our trip to Largs Bay ended just the way it began - with plenty of smiles, sunshine and shared moments.

This group photo captures the heart of the day: good friends, good weather and the joy of getting out together. From strolling the jetty to enjoying lunch and ice cream by the water, it was a day filled with connection, laughter and a touch of nostalgia for those who once called the bay home.

These are the moments that make community life so special!

Dianne joined Barossa Village in 2020 - and for her, it’s been the most wonderful experience!

She’s met incredible people, built friendships that feel like family and found a community where the staff go above and beyond to support her and make her happy.

Every day is filled with connection, care and the comfort of knowing she’s surrounded by people who truly look out for her.

Dianne couldn’t ask for a greater group of people to call her family and and we’re so grateful she’s part of ours.

This week, a group of residents hopped aboard our new community bus, Howie, for a beautiful day out at Largs Bay - a place filled with memories for many.

They enjoyed lunch and ice cream at the kiosk, wandered along the beach and took a slow, sunny stroll down the jetty. For some, it was a chance to return to a place they once called home… a place where they’d spent countless hours with family and friends.

It was a day of reminiscing, reconnecting and soaking up the simple joys - good company, gentle sunshine and the comfort of familiar places.

Here’s to more outings, more shared moments, and more good days together!

Monday didn’t go quite the way we hoped!

Earlier this week, we were preparing to celebrate 20 years of the Residency on Atze Parade with our community. So many of you had messaged, shared the news and planned to join us on Humberdross Way. We were excited to honour the history, the people and the spirit behind that incredible day in 2005.

But by Monday morning, the weather made the decision for us. After days of rain and strong winds that continued throughout the morning, we had to cancel the outdoor celebration. It was a tough call and not the one any of us wanted to make, but it was the safest and most responsible choice.

Even though the street party couldn’t go ahead, something beautiful still happened.

Our team moved quickly and gently shifted the celebration indoors so our residents could still enjoy the day. The band set up inside, staff repurposed what they could from the event plan, and the room soon filled with clapping, singing and huge smiles.

One staff member summed it up perfectly:

“The residents lit up the entire room. They were clapping, singing and smiling from ear to ear. Tony, the lead singer, told us he was blown away by the energy and how much joy there was in the space. He said he’d love to come back after seeing how much it meant to everyone.”

While we missed the chance to gather with our wider community, the heart of the day was still very much alive. We celebrated with the people who call the Residency home, which is exactly what this milestone is all about.

To our community, thank you for your understanding and for the support you show our residents and staff every day. To our team, thank you for your quick thinking, kindness and calm. And to our residents, thank you for bringing joy to a day that looked very different from what we had planned.

Here’s a look at some of those moments we shared inside on Monday.

It has been the toughest of decisions, but unfortunately, due to inclement weather over the past week and what we are experiencing today, we have cancelled the 20th celebrations on Humberdross Way.

Thank you to all who were excited to join us; it would have been a sensational celebration!
