Dementia Action Week begins today, we’re encouraging greater understanding, compassion and inclusion for people living with dementia and those who care for them.

An estimated 446,500 Australians live with dementia, with around 1.7 million people involved in their care, according to Dementia Australia.

At Scalabrini Communities, we recognise each person’s story, culture, choices and individuality. Across our residential communities, our approach to care supports residents to continue enjoying meaningful relationships, familiar interests and the things that make them feel at home. Whether it’s sharing a favourite song, enjoying a conversation or knitting together, everyday moments offer opportunities for connection, joy and belonging.

Together, we can help people living with dementia feel valued, included and supported to continue living their lives. 🩵

We’re proud to see our Bexley community featured on 10 News Sydney, shining a spotlight on our vocational education partnership with the wonderful teams of The Youth Partnership and UNE Partnerships. RTO 6754. This program creates opportunities for young students from various schools to experience aged care firsthand.

More than gaining practical experience, students build meaningful connections with our residents while discovering the many rewarding career pathways available across aged care.

A wonderful example of generations learning from one another. 🧡
Thank you to 10 News Sydney for sharing the story!

Our team recently came together to celebrate Teej, a special festival in the Nepalese & Indian community traditionally marked by music, dancing, colourful red attire, shared food and time spent with loved ones.

Teej is a celebration of love, wellbeing, family and togetherness, and it was wonderful to see our Bexley staff proudly sharing their culture and bringing so much joy to the community.

Wishing our Nepalese residents, team members, families and friends a very Happy Teej!🇳🇵

Here’s a look at how our Scalabrini communities marked R U OK? Day yesterday.

Across our communities in SA and NSW, team members came together to share moments of connection, conversation and care reminding us that checking in can make a meaningful difference.

Let’s continue to ask, listen and stay connected not just on R U OK? Day, but any day.
A little yellow and a lot of meaningful connections. 💛

10/09/2026

Today, R U OK? Day and World Su***de Prevention Day come together as a powerful reminder that meaningful connection can make a difference. 💛

You don’t need to be an expert or have all the answers. Simply asking “Are you OK?”, listening without judgement and staying connected can help someone feel seen, supported and less alone.

And remember – it’s important to ask any day, not just today.
Together, we can spread awareness and support mental wellbeing in our communities.

Meet Nancy, one of our residents at The Village, Drummoyne.
Born in Sicily, Italy. Nancy came to Australia in 1953 and has always loved helping others, staying organised and taking pride in the little details.

Having worked as a catering assistant and seamstress, Nancy still enjoys contributing to her community. One of her favourite Community Roles is helping our wellbeing team fold napkins, carefully making sure each one is neat and beautifully prepared. It’s a simple task, but one Nancy genuinely enjoys and takes great pride in. 💫

Outside of her community role, Nancy enjoys Italian music, cooking, gardening, flowers and a good Sophia Loren movie.

Through our Belong programme and My Purpose pillar, Community Roles give residents opportunities to stay involved, use their skills and continue doing things that make them feel valued and connected. 🌟

To mark Vietnamese National Day on 2 September, our catering team from Scalabrini Chipping Norton prepared fresh rice paper rolls for staff to enjoy; a simple but meaningful way to celebrate culture, connection and the diversity within our community.

Food has a wonderful way of bringing people together, and moments like these give us the chance to learn, share and celebrate the many cultures that make our Chipping Norton community so special. ❤️

A big thank you to our catering team for making the day extra special.

A little look back at a special Sunday…

On Sunday, we took the opportunity to celebrate the fathers, grandfathers and father figures who are part of Scalabrini, recognising the life experiences, wisdom and connections they continue to bring to their families and communities.

We hope all the dads and father figures had a very special Father’s Day. 💙

Look what our Austral residents have been growing! 🌱

Residents from Max Carpenter have been busy tending their garden, and this morning’s harvest was a beauty. Fresh carrots, radishes, beetroot and tomatoes, all grown with plenty of care and pride.

The produce is now available from our little stall at reception, with a gold coin donation appreciated where possible.

Through our Belong program and its My Purpose pillar, Community Roles give residents meaningful ways to stay involved, contribute their skills and interests, and play an active part in everyday life at Scalabrini.

For our gardening residents, it’s not just about growing vegetables, it’s about having something to nurture, take pride in and share with others.
Well done to our green thumbs at Austral! 👏
