21.01.2022 TLC is COVID-19 free, and you may be wondering what we have done differently to other aged care providers in Victoria. Our CEO, Lou Pascuzzi, has shared the keys to TLC’s success; including our unique integrated care strategy, infectious disease control measures, and early response. https://www.tlchealthcare.com.au/covid-19

21.01.2022 A father is neither an anchor to hold us back nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way. Happy Father's day.

13.01.2022 Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November in most countries to recall the end of hostilities of First World War on that date, in 1918. It honours the sacrifice and loss of those who have served during wartime to defend our freedom and democracy. Many of our residents at TLC Aged Care either served or have family and friends who have served. The story of Remembrance Day is one of service and care for each other. It is this story with which the TLC community connects to the... ethos and meaning of Remembrance Day through our Mission and Values. This has been epitomised throughout this year as we have worked tirelessly to keep our residents, patients and each other safe and well. Lest We Forget.
