25.01.2022 I played snooker and eight ball for about 30 years, winning my final Tasmanian Championship in 2008. In that time, I won many Championships and had the privilege of representing Tasmania in the National Championships on many occasions. Pam Robertson is currently a resident at Regis Tasmania Eastern Shore. Join us as we dive into her past as a professional snooker player. https://www.regis.com.au/snooker-extraordinaire/

21.01.2022 The winner in the 2020 Outstanding Carer award is Sandra Kennedy. Sandy is a medication competent carer who is known for her in-depth knowledge of each of the residents she cares for. Families have highlighted Sandy as being cheery and always having a smile on her face while supporting their loved ones and really getting to understand their needs. There is a trust between Sandy and her residents that is truly special to see.

21.01.2022 This week saw a special treat for our residents at Regis Playford. Cheeky, our Lifestyle Coordinator's horse, treated our residents to a much needed visit. Cheeky loves his job as a therapy horse and loves the attention residents give him when they pat, hug and even give him carrots. Cheeky doesn't like apples though... Cheeky is a 22 year-old Few Spot Appaloosa who retired 4 years ago from jumping and dressage. He is loving retirement and loves to visit our home. Our residents look forward to his visits and are looking forward to him returning in December for a Christmas visit where he may perform some steps to a song or two.

21.01.2022 It's Dementia Awareness Week and we understand that 'a little support makes a lot of difference'. With over 25 years of experience in aged care, we have come to truly understand the unique challenges that dementia can present for residents and their families. Everything has been developed to provide comprehensive, specialised care from home design and staff training, through to nutrition, therapy and leisure activities. We ensure our residents have every opportunity to enjoy a safe, sustainable and comfortable life, tailored to them. Find out more here: https://www.regis.com.au/dementia-awareness-week-2020/

20.01.2022 Do you like to immerse yourself in your garden on the weekends? Spring has truly made an impact on our stunning garden at Regis Dandenong North and our residents have been enjoying the abundance of flowers.

19.01.2022 Four of our Playford residents hit the road to the beautiful Barossa Valley for a spot of mini golf. Whilst basking in the sun, our residents played 18 holes and even made some friends along the way George the Gorilla and Terry the Triceratops. Our residents love getting out into the community and enjoying all it has to offer.

19.01.2022 Regis Armadale Residents celebrated Rosh Hashanah with a Zoom concert with Rabbi Menachem and family members. All the residents received fresh flowers, apple and honey, and wishing cards from our community.

18.01.2022 Bird watching has become a hit sensory activity in the gardens of Regis Tiwi. Our residents and staff love getting together to spot the beautiful native birds which can be found all around our Home. Do you know your Mudlark from your Galahs?

18.01.2022 This is Lisa, one of our passionate and dedicated members of the Regis Family who has been working at Regis Brighton during Stage 4 restrictions in Victoria.

Facilitating and encouraging everyone to have a common goal, which was to keep our wonderful residents safe and well whilst maintaining quality of life in these very trying times.

Family members who have their loved ones cared for by Nilani often share their gratitude for the genuine care she provides. Nilani encourages residents to be involved in the activities they enjoy by actively participating in something with them such as planting and watering flowers, drawing and painting.

17.01.2022 NAIDOC Week 2020 is an important acknowledgement and celebration of First Nations peoples, who have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years, and are spiritually and culturally connected to this country. At Regis, we provide care and support services across Australia and acknowledge the traditional owners of all of those lands. We have residents, clients, families and employees from many of the First Nations.

15.01.2022 The residents of Regis Caboolture stroll through our gardens with pride and joy. Our garden enthusiast, Frank, spends his days pottering around the grounds of our Home caring for nature and tending to the flowers and plants, seeds and branches. Frank has received much praise from the residents and their families, and it’s inspirational to see our gardens thrive because of his passion.

15.01.2022 The winner in the 2020 Initiative or Innovation of the Year award is Regis Elermore Vale. One of the challenges experienced by residents through Covid-19 has been their limited ability to get out and do a bit of shopping or having their loved ones come into the home to bring them shopping items. The team at Elermore Vale could see the impact this was having on the residents and came up with an idea for a shopping trolley that would bring the shops to their home and allow them to select what they would like. This process involved the residents, their families and the team at Elermore Vale and the success speaks for itself the residents have choice and feel a sense of independence and excitement each time the trolley comes around.

13.01.2022 Our volunteer at Regis Sunraysia has been sending in postcards to the residents of places of interest around our local community. The residents have been reminiscing about the old days and how our town has changed over the years. This has been a great idea to keep our volunteers, community and residents connected. Community engagement is paramount at Regis and we love seeing our residents continue to be stimulated and engaged.

11.01.2022 John enjoys sitting out in the sun whenever he gets an opportunity. Indi, our resident feline friend, often keeps John company to enjoy the beautiful sunshine and his companionship. Indi came from RSPCA Victoria and has enjoyed the lifestyle in our Dandenong North Home for the last two years. Our residents love her and it’s beautiful to see the bond created between human and animal.

10.01.2022 Spring is blossoming at last and Regis Norwood are celebrating its arrival. Flower craft art and flower arranging in readiness of our annual Flower Power Happy Hour themed afternoon!

10.01.2022 Our residents at Regis Blackburn love having visits from Flippa & Snowflake, our PARO robotic seals. These fluffy companions have really supported our residents during this challenging year. PARO has been found to reduce stress, stimulate interaction and improve socialisation.

09.01.2022 Today, on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, we pause to remember the end of the First World War and over a century of service and sacrifice of two-million Australians. #RemembranceDay

04.01.2022 In 2020 we have missed our Volunteers and it was exceptionally difficult to decide between Doug and Barb. We have decided that this year will see both Doug and Barb jointly win the award for Volunteer of the Year. Doug is one of our highly valued volunteers who visits four of our male residents at Regis Playford. The residents describe Doug as a kind man with a great sense of humour and someone they can talk to about anything. Barb is another of our highly valued volunteers who comes into the home three days a week at Regis Sunraysia. Barb does a different activity each visit and will have residents lining up to join in.

02.01.2022 Music to your ears! Regis Sandgate Musgrave’s favourite duo, Frank and Nina, have been practicing the ukulele and harmonica. Frank has taken the lead in teaching Nina some of his cultural songs from his home country Slovenia. You can see from their smiles just how important these interactions are between our residents and employees.

02.01.2022 Last week our Maroochydore Home harvested their beetroot crop, the first of their apple cucumbers and mini capsicums and the last few tomatoes for the kitchen. Our residents took a moment to soak in the sun after the afternoon’s harvest bliss!

01.01.2022 Geoff and Slawko have been at it again - getting stuck into a bit of DIY in the grounds of Regis Sandgate Griffith. The duo have been getting the blueprints and materials prepped to build a 6x4 foot garden shed for the benefit of the Gardening Club and Men's Group. True friendships are built during these projects and we admire the incredible community spirit present across all of our Homes.

01.01.2022 Our Day Therapy Team is always here to support you and your loved one. Thank you Brenda for the beautiful words about our dedicated team here at Regis Inala Village. https://www.regis.com.au/additional-services/day-therapy/
