On Valentine's Day, the ARO Melbourne Volunteer Ladies Team and the teachers and students of @siriuscollege GHS visited "BlueCross Willowmeade" Aged Care in Kilmore. It was a heartwarming and memorable experience for our ARO volunteers and students. https://t.co/B8l0Ps52fe
A great day at a great facility.
Class facilities, services, equipment, accommodation, food and amazing and friendly staff that made us feel very welcomed.
Thank you BlueCross Livingstone Gardens.
If you're wondering where Club Tropicana has been, it recently visited BlueCross Silverwood.
What an outstanding tropical Luau Extravaganza, well done on a magnificent effort and doesn't everybody look so happy!
Check out the Tiki Bar too 🍍🍹🌞🕺🎈
Last Friday it was BlueCross Highgrove's turn for an Extravaganza! With a Tropical theme, bright clothes, floral lei's, cocktails, music dancing and all round merriment, enjoy the joy.
Tarralla residents, Bob & Bob, enjoy a competitive game of chess, often pulling out their chess board after lunch. However, the game can be a little one sided at times as Bob (on the left) was a champion player in his younger years and seems to be unbeatable! #chess#agedcare
Ashby residents were wowed by the dazzling moves, amazing colour and flowing fabric as this week’s entertainer performed stunning Indian dances. #entertainment#indiandance#agedcare

This successful group, providing the men of Baradine the time to bond, can be accredited to a great team effort. From Chef Noel with the on point menu to Barry from Maintenance on the BBQ & Rod, our amazing volunteer, making sure everything is served to the groups liking.
The Gables residents spent a day by the seaside with their tropical themed Extravaganza. With paddling pools, fishing games, sandboxes and ice cream, they had all things tropical paradise covered. #BlueCrossExtravaganza#themedday#tropical
The oil blend is designed to stimulate the brains appetite centre in the hypothalamus & uplift the mood; this is said to make food more appealing. The method of washing your hands & face with a warm towel creates a calm environment & a fabulous way to breathe the blended oils.
Hansworth residents brought back fond memories when the #cookinggroup made a mouth-water batch of pikelets to share with fellow residents. As the smell wafted through the home, residents followed their noses, ready to enjoy these simply delicious treats. #homemade#agedcare
Baradine resident, Bill, was a popular DJ back in the day, hosting many famous gigs in England & Australia. This week he dusted off the decks and put on a disco for fellow residents. After an afternoon of music & even a conga line, residents are still talking about DJ Bill. 🎶
