25.01.2022 As part of our Cultural Diversity Day, Maria Cufari and Maria DePalma, two of our Italian residents, helped wash and dry olives in the sun for all of our residents to indulge in. The delicious olives were kindly supplied by the Cufari family for this wonderful event. Thank you!

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 its beautiful to see the bond created between human and animal.

24.01.2022 ‘Twas a few days before Christmas, and all through Regis Sandgate Lucinda no one was stirring, not even a mouse... until Santa came with his trusty reindeer Dasher, going through the halls with his sleigh full of gifts, spreading Christmas cheer to one and all.

18.01.2022 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.
