18.01.2022 You would probably guess that cooking in the kitchens of Canberras Parliament House would differ to Brisbanes best seafood restaurant. Or, that serving 7000 Department of Defence personnel would be a little different to plating up daily dishes at Palm Lake Care. But Palm Lake Care Deception Bay chef Wayne Pollard will be the first to tell you that, no matter where you cook, the basic ingredients are always the same. In the lead-up to Leading Age Services Australias Aged Care Employee Day on Friday, read Waynes story here... #ThanksforCaring #ACED2020

18.01.2022 SAGE ADVICE // Our Palm Lake Care Bargara residents had a whale of a time recently, discussing and providing advice to the younger generations on life and love! With so many centuries of life experience between them, this group's opinions are noteworthy. Especially our Peter, who says you should meet a girl at uni who is interesting to talk to... and Greek! What advice would you give the younger generations on life and love?

17.01.2022 WE THANK OUR CAREGIVERS // This Friday, August 7, we celebrate Aged Care Employee Day - an initiative of Leading Age Services Australia. Its a celebratory event that we truly embrace as a business, simply because our five Palm Lake Care aged caring communities would be nothing without the caregivers we painstakingly select to provide all the various types of care and assistance that our residents require. It is a massive team effort to bring the level of care we do to our ve...ry grateful residents and families, and is thanks to everyone in our team - from the nurses and PCAs on our frontline, to our kitchen and admin staff, those in our laundries, the cleaners, maintenance officers and management teams that keep the wheels turning in the background. Like links in a chain, everyone plays a vital role. And then we also have all those wonderful volunteers who give up their time to help make our residents lives even brighter. While these people may not be official employees, they are another important element of this well-oiled machine. The theme of Aged Care Employee Day, #ThanksforCaring, recognises each and every team member involved in caring for the 1.3 million older Australians receiving home care or residential care services. Just tuned to our Facebook page this week as we celebrate just some of the caregivers who make Palm Lake Care the coveted choice. #ACED2020

17.01.2022 HERE COMES TOOWOOMBA! // In previous years, Toowoomba has been a very successful location for Palm Lake Group with the popular over-50s lifestyle resort community situated in Cranley. However, by the time October rolls around, there will be a whole new Palm Lake Group community on the range Palm Lake Care Toowoomba. . Palm Lake Works project manager Mick Munro is on the team putting together this world-class aged caring community right before our eyes. As Mick explains, Pal...m Lake Care Toowoombas designers took full advantage of the expansive site which allows for a sprawling layout featuring six ground-level wings or neighbourhoods as they will be called. One of these neighbourhoods will be dedicated to a special 24-suite secure memory support unit for residents with dementia. Each of the neighbourhoods will then be connected to a main pavilion area. With a soaring 5.5-metre ceiling height, Mick says this reception pavilion will provide a grand and opulent welcome fitting this luxury aged care community. . The images here show you where construction is currently at where itll be by the end of the year (artist impression). We are so looking forward to coming to Toowoomba! See more

"2020 has certainly started at a fast pace! The lifestyle team continues to bring us new and exciting programs, based on consultations with the residents on their individual preferences. It has been lovely for all of us to reflect on kindness for others, and it is something we are focusing on every day. A simple act of kindnes...s brings so much pleasure to other people and builds a community spirit that we all can be proud of. At the most recent Residents Meeting, I was able to welcome 18 new staff members to the Bethania team. These new staff will be taking the time to get to know our residents and families over the coming months, while sharing a little of themselves through caring for you.

"I am delighted to be your new Service Manager, after what was probably my hardest interview in more than 30 years of aged care nursing and management!," Eleanor writes. "The interview process involved ...both residents and relatives, and it was clear from their insightful questions that they were happy to be part of the process. Transitioning from my previous role as Palm Lake Cares Clinical Governance Manager gives me a solid understanding of the needs of our residents, and I am looking forward to getting to know more about each individual. After a delightful meeting with a gentleman last week, I was reminded how sought-after the Palm Lake Care offering is. We are currently at capacity and have a waiting list of people hoping to join us, and as I listened to him and his family speak so positively about our community from local feedback, it reinforced what a privilege it is to be part of this aged caring community. And whilst we are great, you have my commitment to the continual pursuit of excellence." See more
