Our resident-driven Lifestyle Program is full of creative pursuits, cooking classes, high teas and special lunches, friendly sports competitions and adventures out in the local region. All these meaningful activities and celebrations are made possible by our team members and dedicated volunteers.
One such event was our very own Nanyima Show day held recently. Residents enjoyed their very own side show alley, delicious show treats, and the beautiful arts and crafts on display in the pavilion.
It was a delightful day and brought back many fond memories of the Mackay Show for residents.
Tanya, Lifestyle Lead, says volunteers are an integral part of the family at Nanyima. “We have several volunteers who generously share their time to enhance the lives of residents. They join us on our outings, support residents to remain active or creative within the community and, importantly, provide conversation and company,” she says.
Volunteers Helen and Sue say they love supporting the elderly and giving back to the community and Nanyima is a great place to do it. “It’s such a warm, friendly environment,” says Helen.
Volunteering in aged care can build profound, heartwarming connections and make a significant positive impact on the lives of older adults. We’re always looking for more volunteers to be a part of our special community. If you’d like to contribute, call our Lifestyle Team on (07) 4848 0000.
