Aveo

We’ve had so many fun and festive moments this Christmas at Aveo! From twinkling lights to festive feasts, and Christmas markets to a Christmas golf cart cavalcade, residents and the Aveo team have truly embraced the holiday spirit! One of the highlights this year was the Christmas decorating competition at the Brisbane office. The creativity and effort put into decorations around the office (plus a little healthy competition!) were fantastic to see. Genevieve and Neil, residents from The Newstead Residences were our special guest judges to decide on the big winner! They toured around the office with us, even stopping for a chat with Tony Randello and Ryan Davis on their travels! Congratulations to our home care services team for winning over the judges and transforming their corner of the office into an amazing winter wonderland!   Thanks to the Aveo team and to the residents for spreading some Christmas cheer! 🎄🎅🎁 Tony Randello | Ryan Davis | Karen Mackin | John Kemsley | Mary Lawson | Charlotte dean | Casey Le Breton | Wade Farnsworth | Vicente Ripoll | Brendan Jones | Kirsten Feierabend | Melinda Akehurst | Heather Hall | Terri Faulkner | Brett Whicker | #Aveo | #RetirementLiving | #BringYourPassionToLife

Here's some more residents at Aveo doing wondering things - creating crafts for a cause! Peregian Springs Country Club on the Sunshine Coast is home to a wool-derful knitting club that has been crafting with love for charity for almost 20 years! This year, the club has hosted an event for Project Pink which raised over $2,000, collected $1,500 for prostate cancer initiatives, and generously donated 100 handmade teddy bears to both The Children's Hospital Foundation and The Leukemia Foundation. From handmade toys, cushions, aprons (a community favourite!), and festive crosses, their creations bring joy and support to many worthy causes. They have made a beautiful contribution to the Peregian Springs community Christmas Raffle prizes. In just its first week, the table has raised an impressive $450! A huge congratulations to the group for their commitment to their craft and their community.

Leonore, a resident at Banora Point Retirement Village featured as part of a heartwarming story on Nine’s A Current Affair last week. Leonore was on a call with a Bupa telehealth nurse, Kirsten, who was checking in on her after a recent hospital stay. During the call, Leonore started to show signs of a stroke. Quick to act, Kirsten called an ambulance but also asked Leonore to press her emergency call button. This alert reached Zanae Lakey, Community Manager at Banora Point who raced to Leonore’s place to check on her. Zanae was able to be with Leonore and hold her hand while they waited for the paramedics to arrive. This story was so wonderful to watch. Leonore and her lovely family are so very grateful to Kirsten and Zanae for their compassion and dedication, and so are we!   Bupa | Nine | Tunstall Australasia | LegrandCare Australia | Tony Randello | Natalie Patterson | Julie Andrews | Andrew Keating | Tracy Allom | Zanae Lakey | #Aveo | #RetirementLiving

Costs and contracts are front of mind when considering retirement living. People talk about what residents pay, but not always through the lens of what residents are getting in return. And there’s often talk about the complexity of contracts, but that’s not the whole story. In this video, residents at Aveo share their thoughts about the lifestyle, support, and services they receive—and why they believe it's worth every dollar.

First Nation's Artist and speaker, Jeremy Donovan visited Robina Gardens on the Gold Coast last week to speak to an audience of residents and Aveo team members, sharing his valuable insights on how to honour culture, build unity, and create a more connected and compassionate world.    Jeremy invited guests to ask questions, share personal stories and ended the event with a wonderful message: "We are all voices in the circle. And it is through listening, sharing, and standing together that we keep the circle strong." Well done to Jeremy and the Aveo team on such a positive and memorable event!

The Retirement Villages Amendment Bill in Victoria has been in the works for some time, and we are excited to see more transparency, stronger resident rights and smoother dispute resolution processes for the retirement living sector in Victoria. This is a positive step for the industry. Aveo is committed to providing vibrant and supportive communities and this Bill aligns perfectly with our mission to create environments where every resident feels empowered, respected, and truly at home.   #Aveo | #RetirementLiving | https://lnkd.in/gN6qCmmB

We have another story to share about residents at Aveo doing wonderful things! The Botanic Gardens Men's Shed in Cranbourne is a community space where men of all ages can share skills, stories, and a sense of camaraderie. But the Shed isn’t just about building or woodworking; it’s about connecting and giving back to the community! They make kits for the local preschool kids to assemble and paint for Mother's and Father's Day, supervise and mentor the local secondary VCAL students in woodworking, hold woodturning demos at the local Bunnings Warehouse, and even take on small repair jobs for the residents at the Botanic Gardens village. The Men's Shed has achieved a lot over its 12 years, becoming an incorporated entity, and expanding its team to include men from the local area. In 2018, the Men's Shed was revamped, achieving a full internal renovation and was officially reopened by the Federal Minister for Health! While The Men's Shed achieves so much, the group always remembers one of its most important roles - the positive impact on its members' health and well-being. They said, "By having healthier and happier men, we’re helping to strengthen them, their families and the community." Well done to the Men's Shed group and the Botanic Gardens team for fostering this incredible initiative!

Recently, we asked some residents about their choice to move to a retirement village. They reflected on their journey to choose their home at Aveo, the decision-making process and why the move felt right for them. This video is part of a series that the Aveo team has put together with residents and it’s wonderful to hear their thoughts about shaping a lifestyle that’s uniquely theirs - filled with clarity, choice, and confidence in what comes next.
