‘Recipe for success’ – celebrating our staff
How do we say thank you?
Well, how do we mark birthdays, anniversaries, and special events?
We bake a cake! 🎂
But this time, we’re not just baking a cake—we’re recognising the people who make our Village the warm, welcoming place it is. So let’s ask:
What makes the perfect village ‘cake’?
The Base?
It’s built on Christ. Our foundation is faith—and our location, right here in the heart of Murray Bridge.
The Flavour?
This one’s unique—crafted especially for those in aged care. For people over 55, not in full-time work, and seeking the love and support of community.
The Decoration?
It’s all about love and service. And that’s where our staff come in.
Meet the ingredients of our ‘village cake’
Anne & Carol – Administration
The warm, welcoming face of the Village. They’re the first hello, the friendly smile, and the support behind the scenes. Anne brings detailed accounting expertise and gentle care for all, while Carol attentively supports residents and always notices when someone might need a little extra love.
Kevin – Maintenance Manager
Responsible for keeping our Villages running smoothly, Kevin leads the charge with energy, knowledge, and a deep commitment to excellence.
Peter, Tony, Austin & Andrew – Maintenance Team
These are the hands and feet of the Village. They serve with skill, humility, and genuine kindness. Peter also adds flavour to our newsletters with his wonderful gardening tips.
Colleen & Coralie – Cleaning Team
Often unseen, but always essential. They quietly and faithfully care for our shared spaces—keeping them clean, safe, and welcoming.
Contractors & Volunteers
Though not on staff full-time, they are embraced as family. Their commitment and heart make a lasting difference.
Let’s Celebrate!
It’s with great pride that we honour this incredible team—the ones who give our Village its character, its warmth, its unique flavour. You are the special ingredients that make our community so meaningful.
On 7 August, Aged Care Employee Day, we pause, give thanks, and share a slice of cake together—because without each of you, the recipe just wouldn’t be complete.
Thank you. You are appreciated beyond words.
