At Yackandandah Aged Care, we love helping residents stay connected to their loved ones. Resident Lucy’s daughter, Ros, is a regular visitor and feels blessed that her Mum is cared for so beautifully in the town. “We visit the park or sit in one of the garden areas here and chat. Sometimes, from one of the tea rooms, we watch the school bus arrive and see if we can spot her great granddaughter heading home from school. Other times, we sit at the window to watch the clouds rolling over the hills or the naughty goats in the paddock over the road,” she says.

🌟On Aged Care Employee Day, we’d like to express our sincere gratitude to Yackandandah Health Aged Care’s dedicated team members for everything you do to enhance the wellbeing of residents who call our community home.🌟

We recently took part in Apollo Care’s very special initiative called 'Moments that Matter'. This initiative encouraged staff across our 14 not-for-profit communities to recognise and nominate the moments of kindness, compassion and teamwork that make a genuine difference to the lives of residents and their families, and their colleagues.

Thank you to each and every one of our team for these little moments that shine so bright.

I have watched Mum become frailer over the past few years. I arranged for regular visits from a home care provider and increased the frequency of my visits to try and make sure she was safe and eating properly. As the eldest daughter, I felt immense guilt at the thought of moving her away from […]
