Resthaven Paradise and Eastern Community Services clients recently headed to the National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide for a day out exploring the trains and displays.

A couple of clients even climbed aboard for a short train ride, which they loved! The day finished with lunch at The Birkenhead Tavern, where everyone could sit back and chat over a meal.

Take a look at some snaps from the day! ๐Ÿ“ธ

Something doesnโ€™t add up when aged care funding rises by less than the cost of delivering care.

In his latest opinion piece, Resthaven CEO Darren Birbeck considers the impact of the Governmentโ€™s 2.55% funding increase for residential aged care, at a time when demand for beds is growing and the cost of care continues to rise.

Today marks the beginning of Dementia Action Week, and a reminder to make room for the moments that bring joy.

For Resthaven Onkaparinga Community Services client Karen, one of those moments involved a pygmy goat climbing onto her back during a family holiday. ๐Ÿ For Karen's daughter and carer, Tania, seeing her mum so absorbed in the experience was incredibly meaningful, giving the family a memory theyโ€™ll be talking about for a long time.

Close to the shores of the Murray River, Resthaven Murray Bridge has supported the older people of the Murraylands since 1958 in a warm, safe and homelike environment.

Over the years, there have been many improvements and redevelopments to the site, which offers high quality residential aged care for those who need assistance with daily living, and community services to support people living at home.

With a welcoming and friendly country atmosphere, new residents are supported as they settle in. They are encouraged to personalise their rooms and to join in the varied lifestyle program, which includes art, craft, games, entertainment, and go online in the internet cafe.

They can relax in the well-appointed lounges, gardens and living areas, read a good book, visit the hairdressing salon or pick up a few extras from the well-stocked shop.

Freshly cooked, home-style meals are prepared daily and are delivered to the well-appointed dining rooms.

Resthaven staff are carefully selected and undergo mandatory training relevant to their roles. They take pride in their work and are committed to providing high quality personal care and support.

Excellent security and fire systems protect everyoneโ€™s safety.

We recognise and embrace the diversity of the Australian community, which is reflected in Resthavenโ€™s residents, clients, and staff.

Have confidence knowing that Resthaven has been providing support for older people since 1935.
