💙 Happy Father’s Day from Star of the Sea 💙

Today we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers and wonderful men who are part of our Star of the Sea family.

Behind every face is a lifetime of stories.
A farmer. A fisherman. A mechanic. A truck driver. A miner. A labourer. A craftsman. A photographer. And so much more.

These photos give us just a small glimpse into the remarkable lives our residents have lived — the work they have done, the places they have travelled, the families they have raised and the memories they have made.

“I once was…” reminds us that ageing never takes away the person, their story or everything that came before.

And now, we are very privileged that Star of the Sea gets to be another chapter in their story. ❤️

To all the dads, grandads and father figures in our Star of the Sea community — Happy Father’s Day.

Today we would like to acknowledge and sincerely thank our wonderful Palliative Care Champions at Star of the Sea. 💛🧡

Yesterday’s Palliative Care Afternoon Tea was a beautiful opportunity to come together with residents, families and staff during National Palliative Care Week to reflect, learn and share conversations about what matters most.

A heartfelt thank you to our passionate Palliative Care Champions for the time, compassion and dedication they continue to give to improving palliative care within our home. Your commitment helps ensure our residents receive care that is personal, respectful and filled with dignity, comfort and kindness.

We are also incredibly proud of the meaningful projects and displays created throughout the home, including our beautiful memorial wall and National Palliative Care Week displays, which encouraged reflection and important conversations.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the afternoon. 💛

National Palliative Care Week runs from 10–16 May, and tonight Kadina Town Hall will light up Orange to help raise awareness of palliative care.

Despite being a natural part of life, death is still a difficult topic for many. That silence can lead to confusion and misconceptions about what palliative care really means and how it can support people through end-of-life care, dying and grief.
