Welcome to the 12th issue of Good Lives Magazine

Our long-time readers may notice the magazine has undergone a design refresh, but rest assured we’ve continued to fill the pages with your favourite content.

On the topic of new things, in September ACH Group opened Healthia – an aged care, health, and education hub – located in Adelaide’s north. Jean and Rose, who grace the front cover, were some of the first residents of Healthia Residential Care Home. Having been friends for more than 40 years, they now live next to one another at Healthia.

Read more about their story from page four. Also, inside this edition, you’ll find a list of free activities around Adelaide and on the Fleurieu Peninsula; health and wellbeing articles on how to get creative and tips for eating well over the festive season; and three centenarians came together to share their insightful views.

Plus, on page 20 we introduce you to our new Chair of the Board, Imelda Lynch, so you can get to know a little more about her.

It’s often the little moments that create the strongest connections. 💫

At Kapara Residential Care Home, our Engagement Leads shared a joyful and uplifting session with Annie Harvey, Human Capability Speaker and Gelotologist (The STILL Effect), exploring mindfulness, presence and laughter therapy.

With plenty of smiles and shared laughter, the session offered simple, practical ways to pause, reset and reconnect - showing how small shifts can support calm, wellbeing and connection in everyday life. 😊

Our Engagement Leads play a vital role in helping residents feel engaged, valued and connected, especially for those living with dementia or experiencing social isolation. Experiences like this support the care, warmth and presence they bring into our homes each day. 🌻

🎉 A big thank you to Annie for sharing your insights, warmth and practical wisdom, Michelle Williamson, Community Connector Lead for organising the session, and to our Engagement Leads for the important work you do every day.
