Dementia Action Week 2026 - It's Time to Talk About Dementia

🧡 This week is Dementia Action Week 2026 (21-27 September), with the theme "It's time to talk about dementia."

Many people worry about saying the wrong thing when talking about dementia. But people living with dementia, their families and carers say that the most important thing is to start the conversation.

Dementia is only one part of a person's life. People with dementia still enjoy friendships, family time, hobbies, laughter and making new memories.

This week, we encourage everyone to:

💙 Take time to talk
💙 Listen with kindness
💙 Get to know the person, not just their diagnosis
💙 Stay connected with friends and family living with dementia
💙 Help build a more understanding and inclusive community

You do not need the perfect words. A simple conversation can help someone feel seen, valued and supported. 🧡

A Taste of Mexico! 🇲🇽🍫
Our latest Armchair Travel destination was the vibrant country of Mexico, where residents explored colourful culture, traditional celebrations and iconic landmarks from the comfort of their chairs.
The star attraction was undoubtedly the churros! Freshly made, coated in cinnamon sugar and paired with rich chocolate sauce, these delicious treats brought a little piece of Mexico straight to afternoon tea. The sweet aroma and authentic flavours were a hit with everyone and added the perfect finishing touch to our Mexican adventure.
Sometimes the best way to travel is through food, and today's delightful experience certainly transported us south of the border! 🌵✨
🇲🇽🌮🍫🌵✈️

🌟 Meet Casey, Our Work Experience Legend! 🌟
How wonderful is it to see young people in our community who are passionate about making a difference and exploring a career in aged care?
For the past week, Casey has been completing work experience with the team at LVV, and she has absolutely been smashing it! 👏
Her kindness, warmth and positive personality have been truly remarkable. From sharing cuppas and conversations with our residents, calling out the bingo numbers, and assisting with the wide variety of activities held throughout the week, Casey has been a shining star every step of the way. ⭐
It's inspiring to see the youth of today so keen and eager to work in the aged care environment. There are so many opportunities available at LVV, whether you're starting out as a work experience student, volunteer, personal care worker, nurse, apprentice chef, cook, cleaner, food services assistant or in administration. The possibilities are endless!
LVV would like to sincerely thank Casey for being part of the LVV family this past week. You have been amazing, and we know you have a bright future ahead of you.
💙 Well done, Casey! 💙

🌼💛 Daffodil Day Celebration 💛🌼
A huge thank you to John’s family for their incredibly generous donation of beautiful daffodils. These bright yellow blooms not only add colour and joy to our day, but also represent hope, strength, resilience and support for those impacted by cancer.
Our residents enjoyed a lovely morning of cappuccinos, delicious cakes, and wonderful company, all with a cheerful splash of yellow to mark this important occasion. ☕🍰🌼
Thank you again to John’s family for helping us celebrate Daffodil Day and for reminding us of the powerful message these flowers carry.
💛 Together, we can make a difference. 💛

🌼💛

Meet Colin! ⚓️❤️

Meet Colin, one of our wonderfully independent residents here at LVV — or as Colin likes to say, he’s “the biggest pest!” 😂

LVV welcomed Colin at Christmas time last year, and what an incredible journey it has been. Colin has come leaps and bounds since his arrival and is feeling amazing! ❤️

Colin loves to tinker, and his passion is building from scratch-model ships. And it’s no surprise that he has such an incredible talent — way back when, Colin started his career as a boat builder. 🚢🔨

His amazing creations are a wonderful reminder of just how much you can continue to do, create and achieve while living in aged care. Colin puts so much patience, skill and attention to detail into every little part of his ships, and we are absolutely amazed by his intricate workmanship. 👏😍

Well done, Colin! You are one very talented man — and we absolutely love seeing what you will be creating next! ❤️⚓️

Congratulations Bayley!
After six months with the Latrobe Valley Village Maintenance Team, we are both proud and excited to congratulate Bayley as he embarks on the next step in his career journey, commencing a Carpentry Apprenticeship.
Bayley joined LVV shortly after finishing Year 12, dropping off his resume and impressing us immediately with his positive attitude, strong work ethic, and friendly personality. Starting in a part-time role assisting our maintenance team across both the residential aged care facility and retirement village, Bayley quickly became a valued member of the LVV family. His dedication and willingness to help wherever needed soon led to full-time employment.
Throughout his time with us, Bayley has tackled every task with enthusiasm. Whether he was painting, delivering furniture, assisting with maintenance requests, keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes, or stopping for a chat with residents, no job was ever too big or too small. His "can-do" attitude and approachable nature made him a favourite among residents and staff alike.
While Bayley's goal has always been to secure a carpentry apprenticeship, the scope of our maintenance department unfortunately could not provide the required apprenticeship opportunities. We are delighted, however, that his hard work and determination have paid off and that he has now achieved his dream.
Bayley's excellent communication skills, strong work ethic, and willingness to learn will undoubtedly see him succeed in his new career. We have no doubt he is going to make an outstanding carpenter.
On behalf of the residents, staff, and management team at Latrobe Valley Village, we would like to thank Bayley for his contribution and wish him every success as he begins this exciting new chapter.
Congratulations, Bayley. You will be truly missed, and we can't wait to see all that you achieve in the future!
