Homestyle Aged Care Services

Homestyle resident's Irene, Rosalind and Betty from our Kensington Grange, Belmont Grange and Sea Views Manor homes enjoyed attending the Geelong Mums - just re-branded to Our Village Australia, Mother's Day Lunch at Mt Duneed Estate near Geelong on May 10. Resident's from our Geelong homes began participating in an off-site volunteer program for the Geelong Mums last December, and already it has been an outstanding success. Residents in all different stages of health have been able to participate in and enjoy these baby and children’s clothing folding sessions. Some residents also fold the baby clothes in their rooms over the weekend as they have found great purpose in this activity. Thanks to the commitment and support of our Lifestyle Co-ordinators Alana, Jess and Julianne, we are thrilled to be participating in the volunteer off-site Program for the Geelong Mums as we believe it is important to give back to the Community. Thanks to Our Village for a wonderful Luncheon, the volunteers that helped make the day such a great success and to Alana, Jess & Julianne for bringing the residents to the lunch. Our Village volunteers had heard so much about the Homestyle resident's off-site volunteer program and were delighted to meet some of the Homestyle team and residents involved in the project. Keep up the great work Homestyle Geelong Residents, your folding & sorting, knitting and crocheting is a wonderful contribution to families in need in the Geelong area. #agedcare #agedcareaustralia #agedcaremelbourne #agedcaregeelong #geelongmums #volunteerwork #volunteer #volunteeroffsite #givingback #clothingdonations #offsitevolunteer #volunteerprogram #community #homestyleagedcare #ourvillagelunch2024

Kensington Grange Kids Club has a wonderful start! Students from Leopold Primary School visited Kensington Grange and were quick to make some new friends shortly after arriving. Residents were well prepared for the visit and showed off their knowledge of teen slang, the laughter and conversations that followed were truly heartwarming. Students were paired up with residents and questions were asked in every direction, at the same time getting to know one another and comparing childhoods. The children from Leopold Primary School will continue to make regular visits throughout the year, we look forward to seeing intergenerational friendships flourish. #agedcare #agedcareaustralia #agedcaremelbourne #agedcaregeelong #intergenerationalprogram #intergenerational

Homestyle Aged Care were proud to be the major Sponsor of ‘A Walk in the Park’ Geelong on Sunday May 5th. Raising awareness and fundraising to support people living with Parkinson’s Disease, the 2km walk around the Geelong Botanical Gardens was an opportunity for people living in the greater Geelong region to come together as a Community. Together we can Fight Parkinson’s. Support and information can make a significant and positive to the lives of those living with Parkinson’s, their families and carers. Homestyle Group General Manager Jane Jenkins, along with Homestyle staff attended ‘A Walk in the Park Geelong’ last weekend, giving away balloons and Goodie Bags as participants crossed the finishing line.

Our Melville Grange home held a wonderful Mother's Day market. The residents, their families and staff attended and purchased from a variety of donated goods, organic produce, craft and plants. The residents also enjoyed a morning tea with delicious homemade apple cake, scones with jam and cream and a cuppa. The residents contributed to the market by baking Anzac cookies, making some crafts and potting some plants. Feedback from residents indicated that the market was a "huge success", and they were all looking forward to the next one! #agedcare #agedcaremelbourne #agedcaregeelong #agedcareaustralia #market #mothersday #mothersdaystall

The residents at Belmont Grange recently enjoyed a visit from Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs for World Guide Dog Day. This day celebrates the important role Guide Dogs play in supporting people all around the world with low vision or blindness to achieve their goals and live independently. The residents throughly enjoyed the visit, cuddling and patting the dogs. It is said that Pet Therapy can improve social interaction, reduce stress, agitation, depression and anxiety as well as stimulate better cognitive function, and these photos of the residents cuddling and patting the Guide Dogs certainly shows the joy the dogs visit bought. Thank you Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs.  🦮❤️ #agedcare #agedcareaustralia #agedcaremelbourne #agedcaregeelong #seeingeyedogs #visionimpairment #visionaustralia #worldguidedogday #lowvision #blindness #guidedogs #pettherapy

The residents at Point Cook Manor enjoy partaking in a fortnightly Men's Groups on Monday's and a Ladies Group on Tuesday's. The Men's Group enjoy a game of Pool over a beer. This is a great opportunity for the men to socialise and challenge one another, whilst using good hand-eye coordination, balance and fine motor control skills to execute their pool shots with precision. The Ladies Group enjoys getting together for a natter, having a safe place to talk to release any stress, as well as share a laugh and to relax. Cards, sharing stories as well as mediation are some of the activities the ladies participate in. #agedcare #agedcareaustralia #agedcaremelbourne #agedcaregeelong #ladiesgroup #mensgroup #mensshed #gameofpool #mediation #socialgroup

Dan and Jennifer from Homestyle Aged Care’s Marketing Team recently visited the Geelong Mums Warehouse to take a sneak peak at what goes on behind the scenes at the Geelong warehouse, and to see how our contribution fits in to the whole process. We met Jackie the Volunteer and Operations Manager, and she gave us a tour and explained how the clothing donations are rough bundled into packs and are then collected and delivered to Homestyle’s Geelong homes located in Belmont, Grovedale and Ocean Grove for sorting. The resident's began participating in an off-site volunteer program for the Geelong Mums last December, and already it has been an outstanding success. Residents in all different stages of health have been able to participate in and enjoy these baby and children’s clothing folding sessions. Some residents have even requested to fold the baby clothes in their rooms over the weekend as they have found great purpose in this activity. Thanks to the commitment and support of our Lifestyle Co-ordinators Alana, Jess and Sharon, we are thrilled to be participating in the volunteer off-site Program for the Geelong Mums as we believe it is important to give back to the Community. Thanks to Jackie for her generous time in showing us the warehouse and being able to see the Geelong Mums volunteers hard at work and to see the difference they make to families in the Geelong area. Keep up the great work Homestyle Geelong Residents 😊 #agedcare #agedcareaustralia #agedcaremelbourne #agedcaregeelong #geelongmums #volunteerwork #volunteer #volunteeroffsite #givingback #clothingdonations #offsitevolunteer #volunteerprogram #community
