25.01.2022 Regis Woodlands have been crafting eco friendly Christmas decorations to bring the Home into the festive season. Residents and staff have been utilising used bottle caps, cardboard, gum nuts and other recycled products to decorate their foyer area. Stunning!

24.01.2022 Our Lutwyche Lifestyle Team is enthused by this hearty emotion when it comes to helping to keep our wonderful residents occupied, included and happy. It brings us great pleasure when we see them relaxed or participating in any chosen activity. A simple thing such as creating a useful book marker from scratch, colouring in the images, laminating it and adding a ribbon can feel very rewarding. Small accomplishments and the use of creative elements enable our residents to feel connected and proud of these achievements.
