11.01.2022 At Regis Inala Village, there is a very old, large and gnarled Peppercorn tree which is admired by everyone living at the Village.

07.01.2022 We are privileged to have the company of two biological brothers who reside here at Regis Belmore.

Small accomplishments and the use of creative elements enable our residents to feel connected and proud of these achievements.

01.01.2022 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.
