β˜€οΈπŸŠ Winter sunshine and fresh harvests at Doutta Galla Woornack! πŸŠβ˜€οΈ

Our residents and Lifestyle staff made the most of a warm winter day in the sensory garden. We harvested a bounty from our miniature orange trees, while others got busy refreshing the raised beds with new herbs and veggies. 🌿πŸ₯•

Gardening is such a wonderful way for our community to stay active, soak up some Vitamin D, and find a little daily happiness.

"Plants have a unique way of boosting our mood and providing a daily dose of happiness." πŸ’š

πŸ’œ World Elder Abuse Awareness Day πŸ’œ

On 15 June, we join communities around the world in recognising World Elder Abuse Awareness Day and reaffirming our commitment to the safety, wellbeing and dignity of older people.

This year's theme, Beyond Age, encourages us to challenge stereotypes about ageing and celebrate the wisdom, experience and contributions older people make to our communities every day.

Elder abuse can take many forms, including financial, emotional, physical and social abuse. Raising awareness is an important step in helping older people feel safe, respected and valued.

At Doutta Galla, the safety and dignity of every resident are at the heart of our care. We encourage residents, families and friends to speak up if they have any concerns – no concern is too small.

Across our homes, residents and families will be taking part in activities to mark the day and reflect on the importance of creating communities where everyone can age with respect and dignity.

Did you know that over 100,000 Australians are currently waiting for in-home care?

We welcome the Federal Government's recent Budget commitment to fund more home care packages. Having served Melbourne’s west for over 30 years, Doutta Galla's clinical team is ready to deliver the high-quality, affordable, and inclusive care our seniors deserve.

As our CEO Glenn Rappensberg puts it: "The team at Doutta Galla is ready to meet this demand to ensure older people can live with dignity and choice."

🎨🌈 Celebrating Pride Month at Lynch’s Bridge! 🌈🎨
Our community at Lynch’s Bridge has been bursting with colour, creativity, and joy as residents and staff come together to celebrate Pride Month!

Through our latest lifestyle art session, residents explored the vibrant colors of the Pride flag, creating beautiful, unique paintings that are now proudly displayed on our easels.

A huge shoutout to our wonderful lifestyle team, our talented chef, and our dedicated care staff who joined in on the fun and helped make the day so meaningful. At Doutta Galla, we are proud to celebrate diversity, inclusivity, and the vibrant spirits of all our residents and team members.

After 18 years of dedicated service, we recently farewelled Cr Cuc Lam OAM PSM, and thanked her for the remarkable contribution she has made to Doutta Galla Aged Services and the communities we serve.

The farewell brought together current and former colleagues to celebrate Cuc’s leadership, commitment and lasting impact on the organisation. Board Chair, Scott Chapman AM, CEO, Glenn Rappensberg and former GM Commercial & Corporate Services, George Koulis each spoke warmly of their profound appreciation for the opportunity to work alongside Cuc, reflecting on her integrity, wisdom, community spirit and unwavering dedication to older people.

Throughout her time with Doutta Galla, Cuc has been a passionate advocate for residents, families and staff. Her leadership and strong community connections have left a lasting legacy across the organisation.

In her farewell remarks, Cuc reflected on the friendships, teamwork and shared achievements that made her time with Doutta Galla so meaningful. She thanked those who had supported and encouraged her throughout her journey and spoke of the many memories and lasting friendships she will carry into the next chapter of her professional life.

On behalf of everyone at Doutta Galla, we thank Cuc for her outstanding service, leadership and friendship. We wish her every success and happiness for the future.

Thank you, Cuc.

✨ A Magical Evening at Woornack ✨

At Doutta Galla Woornack, we believe that dining should always be an experience to cherish. Recently, we transformed standard meals into a sophisticated, restaurant-quality fine dining experience for a special couple’s evening. 🍷🍽️

Our residents enjoyed a seasonal, chef-prepared menu featuring gourmet dishes made with high-quality ingredients, perfectly paired with a nice wine. With elegant table settings, crisp linens, and the soft glow of candlelight, the atmosphere was truly magical. πŸ•―οΈβœ¨

To set the perfect mood, a gentle playlist of jazz, instrumental bossa nova, and soft classical music played in the background, maintaining a volume where everyone could comfortably speak and socialise at a normal level. 🎢

Events like these are so important to us because they promote dignity, support nutritional health, and allow our residents and their loved ones to connect in a warm, dignified atmosphere.

We were absolutely blown away by the beautiful feedback from the night:
πŸ’¬ "It was so beautiful"
πŸ’¬ "We can’t thank you enough"
πŸ’¬ "This is so special"
πŸ’¬ "We have just experienced such a beautiful and memorable time together"

A massive thank you to the incredible Woornack Team for putting together such a refined and unforgettable experience! πŸ’™

🦎 Look who came to visit! 🐊

Our Avondale Heights community had some very special, scaly (and furry!) guests visit from Reptile Encounters.

Bryce stopped by and shared his incredible knowledge about some of Australia's most amazing creatures. We got up close and personal with black cockatoos, frilled-neck and blue-tongued lizards, snakes, turtles, and even a crocodile!

We also got to meet an extremely rare, tiny marsupial called a Woylie (brush-tailed bettong). 🦘✨

It was such a magical day that even our most reluctant residents couldn't resist joining in on the fun.

Thank you, Bryce, for an unforgettable educational experience! πŸ’š
