On Valentine's Day, the ARO Melbourne Volunteer Ladies Team and the teachers and students of @siriuscollege GHS visited "BlueCross Willowmeade" Aged Care in Kilmore. It was a heartwarming and memorable experience for our ARO volunteers and students. aro.org.au

If you're wondering where Club Tropicana has been, it recently visited BlueCross Silverwood. What an outstanding tropical Luau Extravaganza, well done on a magnificent effort and doesn't everybody look so happy! Check out the Tiki Bar too 🍍🍹🌞🕺🎈
Last Friday it was BlueCross Highgrove's turn for an Extravaganza! With a Tropical theme, bright clothes, floral lei's, cocktails, music dancing and all round merriment, enjoy the joy.
The lovely ladies at Livingstone Gardens enjoyed a delicious brunch the other day, and it's making us all a little hungry. Bon Appetit!
Ashby residents had the sweetest visit from the most adorable ducklings 🦆. How can that not make you smile? 😊 #agedcare
Tarralla residents, Bob & Bob, enjoy a competitive game of chess, often pulling out their chess board after lunch. However, the game can be a little one sided at times as Bob (on the left) was a champion player in his younger years and seems to be unbeatable! #chess #agedcare

Tarralla’s latest guest speaker was Neil from Lilydale police station, who also happens to be Personal Care Assistant Annette’s husband. Residents were enthralled hearing Neil’s stories and experiences in the police force. #agedcare #guestspeaker

Before the weather turned, as Melbourne weather so quickly does, Baradine’s monthly Men’s Group Lunch was lucky enough to be held outside for a delicious BBQ feast. #mensgroup #BBQlunch #onthegrill #proudtoworkinagedcare #volunteer

This successful group, providing the men of Baradine the time to bond, can be accredited to a great team effort. From Chef Noel with the on point menu to Barry from Maintenance on the BBQ & Rod, our amazing volunteer, making sure everything is served to the groups liking.

The Gables residents spent a day by the seaside with their tropical themed Extravaganza. With paddling pools, fishing games, sandboxes and ice cream, they had all things tropical paradise covered. #BlueCrossExtravaganza #themedday #tropical

BlueCross Tarralla’s focus on the resident dining experience has seen them try hot towels and an essential oil blend to help stimulate appetite. #diningexperience #appetitestimulate #agedcare #essentialoils #agedcarefood

The oil blend is designed to stimulate the brains appetite centre in the hypothalamus & uplift the mood; this is said to make food more appealing. The method of washing your hands & face with a warm towel creates a calm environment & a fabulous way to breathe the blended oils.

Hansworth residents brought back fond memories when the #cookinggroup made a mouth-water batch of pikelets to share with fellow residents. As the smell wafted through the home, residents followed their noses, ready to enjoy these simply delicious treats. #homemade #agedcare

Baradine resident, Bill, was a popular DJ back in the day, hosting many famous gigs in England & Australia. This week he dusted off the decks and put on a disco for fellow residents. After an afternoon of music & even a conga line, residents are still talking about DJ Bill. 🎶
