Who says we have to wait until December to unwrap a little holiday magic? 🎄🍗✨

Last month our residents at RFBI Glen Innes Masonic Village were treated to a magnificent mid-year celebration filled with music, laughter and incredible food.

The highlight of the day was a mouth-watering baked dinner with all the classic trimmings, topped off with a rich plum pudding for dessert!

The feast brought back so many cherished memories of traditional family gatherings and left everyone with full bellies and broad smiles.

Seeing the joy and connection shared across the tables made it a day to remember. It was a wonderful reminder that festive cheer is welcome in the Village any month of the year!

What an absolutely unforgettable Aged Care Employee Day we had across all of our RFBI communities 🎉🍰

The celebrations were in full swing as we paused to say a heartfelt thank you to our incredible workforce. Every single one of our villages rolled out the red carpet to spoil our team members with delicious celebratory cakes, special gift bags and wonderful shared lunches.

The best part of the day was seeing our residents jump right into the festivities alongside our staff! There were plenty of hugs, sweet messages and happy memories shared.

To our nurses, carers, lifestyle teams, chefs, cleaners, maintenance crews and administrative leaders: you are the heart and soul of RFBI. Thank you for your endless dedication, warmth and compassion!

Take a look at some of the sweet moments captured across our villages below.

Our recent egg hatching program was a success from start to finish. In the lead-up to the big day, residents spent creative afternoons in art and craft sessions, making vibrant signs and colourful decorations to advertise the chicks upcoming arrival right across the village.

The excitement was real as everyone gathered to watch the eggs hatch and witness 11 healthy little chicks emerge into the world. The baby chicks brought so many bright smiles, wonderful conversations and heart warming moments to residents, staff and visitors alike.

Now that the program has wrapped up, all 11 chicks are heading off to be rehomed with one of our lovely staff members, where they will continue to be spoiled and well cared for.

Our residents, staff and visitors received a wonderful mid-day surprise when our General Manager, Jodie dressed head-to-toe as Tigger!

Jodie has already dropped a hint that this will not be her last costume surprise. She's planning more fun dress-up days throughout the year and is encouraging the whole team to get involved alongside our regular themed village activities.

Creating a warm, positive environment where we can share spontaneous moments of joy is what makes our community feel like one big family. Embracing a little bit of fun is just one of the many ways our team brings bright smiles to our residents every single day.

Pack your bags, because our residents just took a virtual flight to Glasgow, Scotland ✈️🎟️

We took residents in RFBI Basin View Masonic Village on another armchair travel adventure. Of course, to begin everyone needed to use their personal travel passports, which were stamped as they boarded and headed off on a sightseeing tour, completed with a traditional Scottish lunch.

This trip took residents all the way to the Commonwealth Games, where they grabbed their pom-poms to support the Aussies and even competed in their own indoor shot put and netball challenges.

We can't wait until the next adventure.

Travelling the world creates the best memories, but sharing those stories with friends makes them even sweeter ✈️📸

Our Leisure & Lifestyle team at RFBI Holt Masonic Village recently hosted a very special 'Show and Tell' session, starring resident Margaret and her husband Kevin. Years ago, Kevin and his daughter took a trip to Norway. Although Margaret could not make the journey herself, she lovingly crafted a stunning photo album using all the photographs they brought home.

Kevin took the stage to share fascinating stories about Norway, talking everyone through photos of magnificent landmarks like the Tromso Arctic Cathedral, the Oslo Cathedral and the Atlantic Ocean Road.

The experience was made even better when other residents who'd been to Norway chimed in with their own travel stories. It was a wonderful opportunity for shared stories.
