Connection starts with a simple hello. 👋

This Loneliness Awareness Week, we're celebrating the friendships, conversations and everyday moments that make our community so special.

Whether it's an exercise class, a morning walk, a game of bingo, happy hour, craft and pottery, or simply stopping for a chat with neighbours, life at Pinetree Donvale offers plenty of ways to connect.

Research shows that staying socially connected plays an important role in our health and wellbeing as we age. That's one of the many reasons retirement living is about so much more than finding a new home - it's about finding a place to belong.

💛 Because everyone deserves to feel connected.

Say hello to Tara, our fabulous Community Co-Pilot at Pinetree Donvale! 💚

In just a couple of months, Tara has become a familiar (and much-loved!) face around the village, making great connections with residents and always happy to lend a hand.

Need help with your phone or iPad? Not sure where to start with My Aged Care? Looking for local services? Or just keen for a friendly chat over a cuppa? Tara's your person.

Many of our residents say having a Community Co-Pilot is like having an onsite daughter – someone who's there to support you, answer questions, and make everyday life a little easier.

Thanks Tara for everything you do!

A big thank you to everyone who joined in and helped make the evening so memorable. We can’t wait for the next one!
