What started as a simple craft project, has since grown into the brightening of the walls at our Jesmond Grove site.
Flowers, peace symbols, and doves have been beautifully repurposed as two residents enjoy participating in a Peace Craft Project.
One even admits now she can’t stop - she has created four and working on her fifth.
Staff are now finding ways to frame and display the works as they look so amazing!
Well done ladies 😊☮️👍

Dresses, gowns, frocks - whatever term you choose to adopt, there was no denying the beauty of the pieces that made up the 'Wearing our Memories' collection on display at CA Brown this week.
While outfits and accessories from the 1920s to the 1990s were swished and swayed before eager residents, many of them took an enjoyable ride down memory lane, recalling fancy functions they'd attended including weddings and dances.
Some even got to try on a fur, proving a sensation-al morning al-round.

In 1956, life moved at a gentler pace. People seemed to have more time for each other, their family and friends. However, the Anglican Church of Newcastle recognised that many older members of the community left to fend for themselves were in need of care and support.
In that moment, Anglican Care was born.
The first Anglican Care facility was established at Booragul and for anyone living on the western side of Lake Macquarie, the CA Brown Retirement Village became a prominent landmark on the long and winding road to Newcastle.
For many, it became a new home where they would live out their retirement years in peace, comfort and security. They were cared for by staff who, more likely than not, were locals themselves, adding to the shared sense of community.
The Anglican faith-based values of genuine care, respect and compassion for others flowed naturally into the values of the new organisation and Anglican Care quickly developed a reputation for delivering the highest standards of aged care.
More than 60 years on, there are now 12 Anglican Care facilities across the Mid Coast, Hunter and Central Coast, with more to come. Like the original Booragul village, they’re all very much a part of their community, providing local care, comfort and support to local people.
We now provide a complete range of services from community and home care to retirement living, residential and palliative care. We’ve applied our experience and expertise in these areas to develop and implement, innovative award-winning care programs.
But as much as we appreciate being recognised as a leader in aged care, the real reward comes from helping our residents and consumers to stay actively connected and engaged with life.
Which is the whole point, really.
Because while the world might change, our culture of care never will.
We’ll always be committed to the ideal that life is precious… and that every moment matters.
