Kicking Off 2026: January Activities at Kewarra Aged Care Bring Connection and Joy

The new year has brought a wonderful energy to Kewarra Aged Care, with January activities filling our days with creativity, community connection, and quintessential Aussie celebrations.

After a bustling December, we've settled back into our rhythm with a calendar that's kept everyone engaged and smiling. Our Community Group Friends have been regular visitors, bringing warmth and companionship that reminds us how special these connections are. We've enjoyed shopping trips that got us out and about, and our residents have been absolutely loving the pampering sessions in our new Beauty Room – it's quickly become one of our favourite spots for a bit of self-care and a good chat.

Creative Expression Through Art

Some of our most peaceful moments this month came with paintbrush in hand. There's something wonderfully therapeutic about painting alongside friends, whether you're creating a masterpiece or simply enjoying the colours and conversation. These creative sessions give us time to relax, express ourselves, and enjoy each other's company in a calm, unhurried way.

Australia Day Celebrations

Our Australia Day festivities brought out the true Aussie spirit at Kewarra. We kept things relaxed and fun with an afternoon of trivia that tested our knowledge of all things Australian, followed by a thong throwing competition that had everyone laughing and cheering. The highlight, of course, was our traditional sausage sizzle, with special thanks to Dave who manned the barbecue and cooked up a storm for us all. There's nothing quite like snags on Australia Day to bring the community together.

January has reminded us that the best moments often come from simple pleasures – time with friends, creative expression, and celebrating what makes us Australian. We're looking forward to seeing what February brings to our Kewarra community.
