The Dovida MES team have been at Eastland over the past two weeks, proudly selling Remembrance Day poppies on behalf of Ringwood RSL.

It’s been wonderful to be part of this special initiative, helping to support our local RSL and honour the service and sacrifice of those who have served our country.

We’re at Eastland this afternoon and back again next Friday, so if you’re passing by, please come and say hello, grab a poppy and show your support.

Every poppy makes a difference.

Lest We Forget ❤️

What a fantastic afternoon at our very first client luncheon last week!

It was wonderful to see our clients and caregivers enjoying good food, great company and lots of laughs together. 😊

From reconnecting with old friends to making new connections, the afternoon was a lovely reminder of the value of staying socially connected. Judging by the requests for another luncheon, we’ll call this one a success! ❤❤❤

What a wonderful way to celebrate the Whitehorse Seniors Festival! 🎨❤

Our art class at Box Hill Community Arts Centre yesterday brought together members of the community (and a couple of clients!!) for a morning of creativity, connection and fun. Participants enjoyed exploring their artistic talents, sharing stories and making new friendships in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so special. We love seeing our community come together to learn, create and connect.

What a wonderful day out with Evey! 😊

Evey was excited for another city excursion, and after enjoying a cup of tea and a chat together, we decided to visit the historic Old Melbourne Gaol.

The drive into the city was filled with conversation, and I shared some interesting stories about Melbourne’s heritage along the way. Evey was so engaged and even suggested I should become a tour guide!

At the Old Melbourne Gaol, Evey was fascinated by the history and took plenty of photos as we explored. It was lovely to see her curiosity and enthusiasm throughout the visit.

After our tour, we headed back and enjoyed lunch at Degani’s, where we looked through the photos from the day and reflected on everything we had learned. Evey thanked me for such an enjoyable and interesting outing, sharing that she had learned a lot from the experience.

I then drove Evey home after a day filled with great conversations, new knowledge, and shared experiences. Spending time together and exploring Melbourne’s history made for a very rewarding day for us both.

Always a great shift, and a pleasure to support Evey on another memorable adventure.

Thank you, Natalie, for sharing your beautiful experience with Evey - we're so grateful and love that you can share these memories together ❤

Congratulations on your 10 years of service, Alina!!

We asked our longest standing team member a few questions to reflect on her 10 years:

What's your best memory from a team event?

We had a team celebration dinner, and so surprised when a stretch hummer turned up after dinner to take us into Rod Laver to see ROBBIE WILLIAMS!!!! It was amazing!

What's changed the most for you?

When I first started, we had only 7 office staff - now, we have 28!!

If your 10 years here were a movie title, what would it be?

Working 9 to 5 or The Office (TV Show)

How do you describe the Dovida team?

Caring, teamwork & learning - the best part of working with our team is the genuine care that we pass on to our clients from all team members!

Thank you for your commitment to our people and service Alina – we so very much appreciate and thank you!
