Sam is a classical pianist and composer from Coffs Harbour currently studying his Bachelor of Music at the Tasmanian Conservatorium of Music in Hobart. He very generously stopped by to entertain our residents last Friday.

Thanks Sam! 🎵

Not all heroes wear capes! 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

We celebrated Aged Care Employee Day on Friday - with a superhero theme!

Our aged care superheroes are the people who turn up every day with compassion, patience and kindness, making a genuine difference in the lives of our residents. Their superpower is their dedication to the people who choose to live here!

No matter the role, our superheroes help create the safe, welcoming and caring home that our residents deserve.

This week ABC Hobart Mornings with Leon Compton is taking a deep dive into aged care, exploring how ready Tasmanians are for all the possibilities in our ageing journeys, and the degree of support many of us will need.

First up in the series was our CEO Peter Williams, who joined Leon for the first half hour of today's program to discuss a whole range of topics around an important central message: that aged care planning should begin well before it’s necessary.

✅Most aged care admissions happen in a crisis,
✅The importance of planning ahead,
✅Understanding the breadth of aged care services,
✅Support for carers, and
✅Financial support.
