Earlier this week, Toby at Weeroona performed 'I Was Only 19' during our Remembrance Day service - a moving tribute honouring the experiences of Australian soldiers in the Vietnam War.
Thank you, Toby, for helping us remember and reflect.

We were thrilled to welcome Duke the Llama to Gill Waminda! 🦙
A good friend of our beloved Hephner the Alpaca, Duke won us over instantly with his gentle nature and that cheeky little smirk. Our residents absolutely loved meeting him - just as fun, friendly and full of personality!

At Seaforth Gardens, we love being part of the Memory Lane Cafes organised by Forget Me Not Dementia Support ☕

There’s always a friendly face, delicious morning tea and plenty of games and activities to keep everyone smiling. It’s such a joy to connect with other older locals and share wonderful conversations 💬✨

At Kubirri, we’re lucky enough to join students at Wonga Beach State School each Friday for their intergenerational program, Hearts and Hands. Together we share stories and take part in activities to build connections across different generations.

At the end of October, to celebrate Queensland Seniors Month, the students and staff surprised us with some presents and the most beautiful flowers, a thoughtful gesture that truly made our day 🌸

Thank you, Wonga Beach State School, for the lovely gifts and filling our Fridays with warmth and joy through Hearts and Hands.

Michael at tends to the Centre’s beautiful secret garden with care and devotion 🌿✨

On his love for gardening, Michael says, "Working in the Bethany gardens gives me a sense of purpose and adds meaning to my life. I love looking back and seeing how beautiful this space looks and the joy it gives to others living here and visiting my home.”

It’s residents like Michael who make Bethany such a vibrant and welcoming community.

We have a new furry friend at our centres and residents are absolutely in love! 🐾

A huge thank you to the Salvos Stores Corporate Partnership team for donating some Interactive Companion Golden Pups to our aged care centres.

These lifelike pups bring so much joy, comfort and connection to residents, and this golden one has already stolen plenty of hearts.

We’re so grateful for the support and collaboration within The Salvation Army family. Together, we’re making moments of joy possible every day.

Sharing some happy snaps from Gill Waminda, Kubirri, Montrose, Elizabeth Jenkins Place, Bethany and Barrington Lodge.

residents embraced an abstract art painting session with instructor Robin, who encouraged them to explore new ways to express themselves, beyond step-by-step techniques 🎨

Robin inspired everyone with famous abstract artworks and provided a variety of tools, like spatulas and stamping sponges, to try something different. One of her favourite tips? Start by splashing paint right onto the canvas and see where your imagination takes you ✨

The result - a colourful collection of expressive, one-of-a-kind artworks that reflect each resident’s individuality.
