24.01.2022 Today is Aged Care Employee Day. Every day, our frontline teams actively support thousands of people to live their best life, make choices to give them independence and make a positive difference, because how we care says who we are. #ACED2019

24.01.2022 Introducing "Conversation as Therapy" (CatPin). We combined forces with RMIT University to tackle the issue of loneliness in older Australians through a custom made wearable that detects & responds to levels of conversation, a surrogate marker for social isolation. Perhaps you saw the CatPin on the news last night? #agedcare #DesignThinking #innovation

21.01.2022 Bolton Clarke has a long history of care. From a single nurse walking the streets of Melbourne attending to the poor and sick in their homes, to 'Kingshome' - the very first Queensland War Veterans' Home in Taringa, we honour the work two of our organisations early leaders, Sir William Bolton and Lady Janet Clarke started. This #AgedCareEmployeeDay we celebrate their legacy and say #thanksforcaring to the team members that have supported our clients, residents, veterans, the homeless, pregnant mothers and our older population for over 200 years. #ACED2020 #wecaredifferently

14.01.2022 Today we remember them. The Australian War Memorial has shared the story of winged warriors; pigeons who have been used in both war and civilian life for centuries. During WWII the Australian Corps of Signals Pigeon Service was established, and thousands of birds were used to help solve the military’s problems with communication....

11.01.2022 What is it like to be a Veteran who has experienced mental health issues? Veterans are an important part of the past, present and future of Bolton Clarke (formerly RSL Care + RDNS). We have been caring for veterans in the community, our retirement villages and residential care homes for over 100 years. Our service personnel dedicate their lives to serving our country, and it is our honour to serve them in their time of need. Bolton Clarke's Veteran Family Toolkit was develope...d in conjunction with the Bolton Clarke Research Institute and Altura Learning with the support of almost 100 current and ex serving ADF members, their families and ex service organisations. The first module in our Veteran Family Toolkit explores the personal stories of four veterans, encompassing their experiences of deployment, returning to the civilian world and living with #PTSD. With an overall message of hope, each of these Veterans offer a unique insight into life after the military.

11.01.2022 This #AgedCareEmployeeDay, we say #thanksforcaring to all our amazing team members! Your dedication is inspiring. #ACED2020

10.01.2022 Did you know that the "Clarke" in Bolton Clarke comes from Lady Janet Clarke - a philanthropist and community leader who was a driving force behind the Melbourne District Nursing Service in 1885? She played a big part in our organisation's history and is one powerhouse of a woman to celebrate this #InternationalWomensDay.
