Celebrating Our Community: Local Groups Enrich Life at Belvedere Aged Care

Community is at the heart of everything we do. Throughout 2025, we have proudly welcomed local schools, cultural organisations, religious groups, families, and dedicated individuals who bring warmth, joy and meaningful connection to our residents. Their involvement strengthens the social fabric of our home and reflects the true spirit of community engagement that underpins our commitment to person-centred care.

These treasured partnerships continue to enrich daily life at Belvedere. Student volunteers, multicultural performers, parish visitors and family groups share their time, creativity and companionship, bringing colour, conversation and a deep sense of belonging to our home. These experiences complement our Lifestyle Program, which champions cultural celebration, emotional wellbeing and activities that support purpose and joy.

“Our community partners help us create a home filled with dignity, comfort and belonging,” says Karin Blavo, Lifestyle Manager. “Their presence enhances our high-quality lifestyle program, which celebrates every resident’s interests, cultural heritage and the simple pleasures that make life beautiful.”

It was fitting to celebrate our volunteers with an afternoon tea to recognise their positive impact. From festive celebrations to language-based activities, intergenerational conversations, music and shared meals, each visit helps us honour the traditions and identities of every resident resonating deeply with Belvedere’s philosophy of care.

Belvedere Aged Care extends heartfelt gratitude to all who contribute to the wellbeing and happiness of our residents. Your generosity inspires us as we continue to provide a warm, inclusive and culturally rich home where older Australians feel valued, respected and truly part of our Belvedere family.

If you or your organisation would like to get involved, we welcome new community members to join us. Learn more about volunteer opportunities or contact our team to express your interest.
