April has been a month full of smiles, laughter, and plenty of celebration at Holmwood Aged Care, where our residents continue to thrive in a warm, welcoming environment. Whether it’s a birthday bash, a picnic outing, or a fitness challenge, there’s always something exciting happening!
We kicked off the month with a delightful Picnic at Sugarloaf Reservoir Park, where residents enjoyed the fresh air, stunning views, and the simple joy of being outdoors with friends. The perfect setting for creating lasting memories!
Birthday Celebrations were in full swing as we sent heartfelt wishes to several of our residents. From Robin, Dell, and Joan to Ellen, each celebration was filled with love, laughter, and of course, cake! It’s the little moments like these that truly make Holmwood feel like one big family. We love coming together to mark these special milestones and share in the happiness of our incredible residents.
This month, we also held our annual Easter Hamper Raffle, with a big congratulations to Annie on winning the fantastic hamper! A huge thank you to everyone who supported the raffle, with the proceeds going towards the exciting development of our new café at Sedgwick. We’re looking forward to enjoying many more community events in our refreshed space.
In the spirit of health and well-being, we’ve also seen our resident gym getting a great workout! Our regular fitness sessions are a hit, with residents enjoying everything from weight lifting and balance classes to fun ball games, coordination exercises, and even a trial boxing session led by our resident champion, Arthur. Our personal trainers and the fantastic Lifestyle Team are helping everyone get active and stay strong – and it’s clear our residents are loving it!
Lastly, we commemorated ANZAC Day with a poignant Anzac service led by the wonderful team at RSL Healesville, ensuring that we continue to honour and remember the brave men and women who served our country.
At Holmwood, we celebrate the little victories and the big moments, building a close-knit community where everyone feels at home. It’s always a joy to see our residents living life to the fullest and supporting each other every step of the way.
Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for being part of our Holmwood family!
