14.01.2022 Today is R U OK?Day a day that aims to inspire everyday conversations about mental health. A day when we are reminded to check-in with our friends, family, colleagues, and even ourselves. This year is one that has presented everybody with extraordinary circumstances. Restrictions and lockdowns across the country, caused by the coronavirus pandemic, has thrown up challenges that many Australians are struggling to cope with. Isolation, empty workplaces, home confinement and h...ealth fears for our families and self has caused mental health issues to soar to new levels. Staying connected to one another has never been more important. In many instances, we may not be able to meet in person but we still have phones to stay in touch. So, if you know someone who might be struggling - a friend, family or workmate - please, reach out and ask: R U OK? See more

10.01.2022 We are extremely thrilled to be partnering with RACV Solar to bring energy efficient solutions to our Queensland and NSW facilities. The benefits of renewable energy are well documented, which is why we are installing approximately 6000 solar panels on the roofs of our facilities to help us enjoy the cost savings on power usage, while doing our bit to look after the environment.... Read more about this exciting project in the post below.

07.01.2022 Once a month we host a program where a resident is given the opportunity to share highlights of their life. This month is was Barry, Barry has led a full and interesting life and was very partial to travel. He has been to nearly every country in the world at least once! Today he spoke to us about : India, a visit to the Antarctic, his love of the Savannah area in South Africa; the amazing wildlife of South America; the beauty of Southern France; his rail journey through Russia and visiting China. It was so interesting to hear Barry's journeys, everyone was captivated.

07.01.2022 Our artists at work, todays inspiration is the magnificent blue sky.

06.01.2022 We are dressing up in COLOURS tomorrow at SandBrook, why not do the same for R U OK? day.

06.01.2022 We hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas Every Christmas season we hold a ‘best dressed door’ competition for SandBrook Residents and their families to decorate their doors for the festive season. This years winner was Joan Anderson and the runner up was Jean Matcham both great efforts. Also pictured is one of our staff members getting into the spirit, which we always love to see!

06.01.2022 LEST WE FORGET - REMEMBRANCE DAY 11.11.2020 At 11am on 11 November 1918 the guns on the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare. The moment when hostilities ceased on the Western Front became universally associated with the remembrance of those who had died in the war. This conflict had brought about the mobilisation of over 70 million people and left between 9 and 13 million dead, perhaps as many as one-third of them with no known grave. A...t the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, all McKenzie Aged Care homes and offices will observe one minute’s silence, in memory of those who served and continue to serve protecting our country. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. Lest we forget.

05.01.2022 The chief of R U OK? Day, checking in on fellow residents and staff.

05.01.2022 Our beautiful, blonde, Bear visited us yesterday.

04.01.2022 Tomorrow is Remembrance Day and in commemoration of this solemn day, Ron Wollington, a resident at CapellaBay in Queensland, has put pen to paper and written a poem. Ron’s poem, titled ‘Remembrance Day’ is a wonderful tribute to all those who fought and died in wars. The black and white photo was taken in 1945 when Private Ron Wollington was 19 years old. Ron was enlisted in the Royal Ulster Riffle Brigade and he often talks about the comradery and old fashioned mateship that... has lasted a lifetime. Thank you Ron, for sharing your poetry with all of us. We are sure it will touch the hearts of many people.

04.01.2022 Yesterday we enjoyed a beautiful afternoon at Marina Mirage, walking around and looking at the amazing boats, it was perfect weather to be out and about. It was our Blokes and Boats tour.

04.01.2022 To all our friends and followers, we wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a New Year that brings health, happiness and togetherness. Thank you for your support during 2020. The encouragement and positive feedback we have received from many of our followers has been greatly appreciated. We look forward to sharing many more photos and videos with you in 2021!

04.01.2022 What a magical experience we had last Friday, with a visit from Poko, a 15 hand horse (approx 1.5m high) and Chilli a much smaller pony. These beautiful horses are from Surie Ranch at Mudgeeraba. We are so thankful to Natalie and her team, volunteering their time to show us Poko and Chilli. They were fantastic, making the experience wonderful for everyone. As you can see from the video, our residents absolutely loved spending time, and touching the horses, reminiscing about farms and family. Our hearts were bursting with joy.
