21.01.2022 There's no doubt that 2020 has been a difficult year for many Australians, but for those living with breast cancer, it's been harder still. This year alone, more than 3,100 Australian women will lose their battle with breast cancer. That's eight women per day, making breast cancer the second most common cause of female cancer-related death. With so many people likely to be impacted, both now and into the future, it's vital that we do what we can to find a way to stop breast c...ancer. That's why Aveo are supporting Project Pink again in 2020. Click here to see how we're supporting Project Pink and how you can can be involved - http://bit.ly/project_pink

20.01.2022 Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. In many parts of the world, elder abuse still occurs with little recognition or response. It is a global social issue that affects the health, well-being, independence and human rights of millions of seniors around the world. It is an issue that deserves more attention.... At Freedom, we are committed to treating each and every one of our residents with Kindness, Care and Respect. These are the values that guide everything we do, and they are reflected throughout the care and support we provide each and every day. If you think someone you know is being subjected to elder abuse, we encourage you to call 1800 353 374. #WEAAD

19.01.2022 Freedom Hawthorn has discovered some incredible artists! Annabel, Sylvia and Deidre have been learning to paint from Ruth, the community's Diversional Therapist, and the artworks they have created are incredible. All three ladies have enjoyed channelling their inner artist. ... "I decided to try painting to see first if I could do it, as I've never painted before. Pleasantly, I was surprised and found it challenging but enjoyable." - Annabel "I was enjoying living here, but once I started art, I so enjoyed it I stopped feeling old. Ruth was an excellent teacher and she was very patient. I really do love my art. - Sylvia "When I take a brush in my hand, dip it in water and begin to paint a picture that I see in my mind’s eye, something is released from the anxieties of everyday." - Deidre It's great to see residents rediscovering their creative talents!

08.01.2022 It’s great to see our residents staying socially connected! Denis, 84-year-old resident at Freedom Banora Point, has struck up a great friendship with his new pen pal, six-year-old Tommy.

Denis has even shared stories about his life and growing up in Byron Bay.... We have written a couple of letters; he has a lot of go in him.

05.01.2022 Tai Chi has become quite popular at Freedom Bendigo thanks to Ken, a community resident and Tai Chi teacher. Ken began practicing Tai Chi many years ago to help children with balance and breathing in junior sports. He's now brought his passion for the art to his community, where he has begun to teach a regular group of residents every week in the community gardens.... "I found some parts of Tai Chi very helpful for our older seniors. I've been helping both men and women with their balance and breathing, and some leg and upper body movements with some support." The group has now grown to almost 20 residents, with many commenting on the benefits they are feeling from participating. Ken also encourages residents to get up in the mornings and do some exercises in their rooms. Keep up the great work Ken! Learn more about Freedom Bendigo here - https://bit.ly/37FgFRR
