We were entertained this afternoon by Judy & Dale at our AFL afternoon! From team theme songs to classic favourites that always bring a smile, they kept everyone entertained throughout the afternoon.

Awards and trophies were also presented to our footy tipping competition winners, recognising their great efforts throughout the tipping season.

Congratulations to all our winners and thank you to everyone who joined in the fun!

🌟 Tales For Connection 🌟

Last week, our residents were excited to welcome the wonderful team from Tails For Connection for a very special animal visit.

There was plenty of laughs, smiles and cuddles as residents spent the afternoon interacting with and holding the animals. The visit brought back many memories and brought so much joy to everyone that attended.

A big thank you to Erin and Rebecca from Tails For Connection for sharing their beautiful animals with us and helping create such a memorable experience for our residents.

We are already looking forward to your next visit!

We are writing to advise the community of an important change to Cooinda's Support at Home services.

After careful consideration, Cooinda has made the difficult decision to cease providing Support at Home services and assist clients to transition to alternative providers. No end date has been set at this time. We are committed to supporting every client to transition to an alternative provider. No client will be left without care or assistance.

We would like to reassure residents and families that this decision only relates to the Support at Home program.

Cooinda remains financially stable, operationally strong and fully committed to residential aged care, retirement living and accommodation services.

The decision has been made to strengthen the long-term sustainability of the organisation and ensure we can continue providing high-quality services to residents and families well into the future.

There will be no impact on residential aged care services, retirement living operations or the quality of care residents receive.
