👵💭✨ WHO AM I? – EVERY LIFE HAS A STORY ✨💭👴
Today we took some special one-on-one time with our elderly residents for our “Who Am I?” interviews. ❤️
Behind every face is a lifetime of memories, experiences, achievements, challenges, love and laughter. We asked questions about their childhood, families, careers, favourite memories, things they love, and the moments that helped shape the person they are today.
Sometimes the greatest gift we can give someone is simply to sit down, listen and show genuine interest in their story. 🌷
These interviews are about so much more than collecting information. They help us get to know the person behind the name — their personality, history, passions and the beautiful journey that brought them to where they are today.
💜 Every wrinkle tells a story.
Every memory holds a piece of history.
Every person deserves to be heard.
Because before we can truly care for someone, we should take the time to ask…
✨ “Who are you?” ✨

🎨🐾 ARTS & CRAFTS – BRINGING OUR FAVOURITE ANIMALS TO LIFE! 🐾🎨
There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about remembering a favourite animal — whether it’s a loyal dog, a graceful cat, a colourful bird, or even something a little more adventurous! 🐶🐱🦜🦁
For our latest Arts & Crafts activity, our residents are getting creative with papier-mâché, designing and making their very own version of their favourite animal. ❤️
This activity is about so much more than creating something beautiful. Working with papier-mâché encourages:
🖐️ Fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
🧠 Memory, imagination and creative thinking
🎨 Sensory stimulation
💬 Conversation and sharing special memories
😊 Confidence, accomplishment and, most importantly, FUN!
Each creation tells a little story about the person who made it — and we cannot wait to see all the personalities come to life! 🥰
Because creativity has no age limit, and sometimes a little paper, paste and imagination are all you need to create something truly special. ✨

💜 DEMENTIA AWARENESS DAY AT ST JOHANNIS 💜
Understanding dementia starts with awareness, compassion and education.
This Dementia Awareness Day, St Johannis Lifestyle Estate will be hosting a special morning dedicated to learning more about dementia, creating greater understanding, and celebrating the wonderful people who form part of our community. 💜
🌸 11 September 2026 | 10:00
🎶 Music
🍴 Delicious food
💜 Dementia awareness
🤝 Connection, understanding & support
PLEASE NOTE:
Our Dementia Training Session is exclusively for St Johannis Lifestyle Estate residents and their invited children/family members. The training has been specifically arranged for our St Johannis community and is therefore not open to the general public.
Together, we can learn to see the person before the diagnosis, understand their world a little better, and create a community filled with patience, dignity and love.
💜 Because memories may fade, but the need to feel loved never does.
We can't wait to share this meaningful morning with our St Johannis family. 🌿💜

Happy Women’s Day! 🌸💗
Today we celebrate the strength, courage, kindness and resilience of women — the mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, colleagues and caregivers who make a difference every single day.
May we always remember: A strong woman doesn’t just overcome challenges — she grows through them, rises again, and often becomes the strength that helps others rise too.
🇿🇦 Happy National Women’s Day, South Africa! 🇿🇦
Here’s to strong women: May we know them. May we raise them. May we be them. 🌷💪💕
