25.01.2022 We can't think of a better way to celebrate the first Sunday of Spring than Father’s Day! We are all so thankful to be able to visit our Dads with ease this Sunday and, with only a couple days to go, we thought we’d share some of our favourite ways to show Dad you love him. . https://www.therichardson.com.au//best-fathers-day-gift-i/ . #fathersday2020 #fathersdaygifts #agedcareaustralia #westperth #perthisok #greataboutperth #perthtodo

22.01.2022 This week (21-27 September) is Dementia Action Week, starting with World Alzheimer’s Day today. Dementia affects close to half a million Australians - and that number is set double in the next 25 years. It's our role as a community to do the best we can to support people living with dementia and enable them to live their best lives for as long as possible.... This week we encourage you to reach out to people with dementia in your community to let them know they are not alone. If you wish to speak to someone about your situation or that of a loved one, please don’t hesitate to contact us on (08) 9381 2800. A little support makes a lot of difference. #Every3Seconds #WorldAlzheimersDay #DementiaActionWeek #Dementiaawareness #agedcare #respitecare

17.01.2022 Mental illness can affect anyone at any age, and with 1 in 5 Australians affected it is highly likely that someone you know may be suffering (often in silence) from one of the many mental illnesses including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, dementia and schizophrenia. With October being Mental Health Awareness month, we explore some ways that we can fill our lives, and the lives of our loved ones, with positivity and health. . . https://www.therichardson.com.au//mental...-health-awareness/ . #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealthmatters #seniorliving #agedcareaustralia #beyondblue #ruokeveryday See more

13.01.2022 The decision to leave the family home and move into something smaller (or into aged care) is challenging for many, with the thought of having to physically move particularly overwhelming. Often, when it comes to the monumental task of sorting and selling the home the responsibility falls on family and friends. With this in mind, we thought we’d explore some tips and tricks for making the big move that little bit easier. . . https://www.therichardson.com.au//guide-to-downsizi...ng-for/ . #seniorliving #agedcareaustralia #westperth #myagedcare #downsizing #perthlife See more
