Did you know that staff and residents at Maroba were featured on Jesmond Public School’s very own podcast ‘Salam, Jesmond!’
Hear from residents Carol and Daryl, and team member Michael where the students ask questions about life, experiences living in Aged Care and experiences working in Aged Care.
These conversations build a stronger cross-generational connection between students and residents. We can’t wait to see what these students will do next!

Abracadabra and bon appétit! ✨

Our residents enjoyed a fantastic themed luncheon today, featuring a fun-filled magic show by Joel Howlett. There were plenty of laughs, a few surprises, and lots of wonder along the way, with several residents becoming stars of the show as they joined Joel for some magical moments of their own!

The entertainment was followed by a beautiful meal shared with friends, making for a wonderful afternoon enjoyed by all.

Today we are celebrating a very special milestone at Maroba – Julie McBeath’s 30 years of service.

Julie is often the first face people see when they walk through our doors, and for three decades she has set the tone for what Maroba is all about – kindness, warmth, and genuine connection. She has welcomed residents, families, staff, and visitors with patience and care, and in doing so has made countless people feel at home.

Her contribution goes far beyond a role at reception. Julie has been a steady, familiar presence through the years, building trust and meaningful relationships that truly reflect the heart of our community.

Thank you, Julie, for 30 years of dedication, care, and the difference you continue to make every day.

Today at Maroba, we came together for a meaningful afternoon of reflection and connection in honour of National Sorry Day. Residents enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea while listening to a heartfelt talk, watching the National Apology, and taking time to reflect on the importance of acknowledging the Stolen Generations and the ongoing journey of healing and reconciliation.

A beautiful Acknowledgement of Country was shared by Michelle and Maddie, and Steph spoke about the significance of Sorry Day and why it continues to hold such an important place in our hearts and history.

Residents were each given hibiscus badges and bookmarks. The hibiscus flower is a symbol of National Sorry Day, representing healing, resilience, remembrance, and hope for the future.

It was a gentle and thoughtful afternoon filled with learning, respect, and togetherness. ❤️💛🖤

Today at Maroba, we were delighted to welcome Doggie Dates Pet Therapy — Michelle and her beautiful golden retriever, Jazz.

Their visit brought so many smiles, cuddles, conversations, and heartfelt moments of connection to our residents. It was wonderful to see the joy and comfort that Jazz brought to everyone she met.

We are so excited that Michelle and Jazz will now be visiting Maroba once a fortnight — something we know our residents will look forward to with great joy.
