There’s a wave of excitement flowing through Geelong’s trusted aged care homes, with two major lifestyle upgrades transforming daily life for residents and their families.
These changes include the launch of a brand-new cafe at The Vue Community Aged Care and the modernisation of resident rooms at Eden Park Community Aged Care.
Since opening its doors, the new cafe at The Vue has sparked something truly special – not just the coffee, but a renewed sense of community, comfort, and connection. Nestled just off reception, the cafe has quickly become the heart of the home. The rich, inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee greets visitors as they enter, often drawing smiles and appreciative comments. It’s more
than a pleasant scent – it signals warmth, welcome, and the start of meaningful moments.
Every day, the front foyer hums with the gentle buzz of conversation and laughter. Residents catch up with loved ones, staff share a quick coffee break, and visitors soak in the atmosphere.
“For our residents, the cafe has become a cherished destination,” residential manager of The Vue Community Aged Care Julie Bennett said.
“One resident summed it up perfectly: ‘It feels like I’m on an outing, without ever leaving home.’ The elegant, yet cozy, setting has given families a place to sit, share stories, and create memories together. It’s more than just coffee – it’s a place to connect.”
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. What began as a vision to enhance everyday life has quickly become a daily reminder that joy, community, and a good cup of coffee can make all the difference.
The improvements don’t stop there. At Eden Park Community Aged Care, 10 resident rooms have already been upgraded, with plans now underway to modernise the front entrance and nurses’ stations.
These upgrades not only make the home more comfortable and accessible but also ensure care can be delivered seamlessly, with greater support for both residents and staff.
“We are committed to delivering the future needs of the community,” For Purpose Aged Care chief executive Fabio Maya said while reflecting on the changes already delivered and those still to come.
Together, the new cafe at The Vue Community Aged Care and the upgraded rooms, along with forthcoming improvements to Eden Park Community Aged Care’s main entrance and nurses’ stations, demonstrate a strong commitment to combining clinical excellence with quality of life.
Residents can enjoy a vibrant community atmosphere while knowing their personal spaces and shared areas meet the highest standards of care and comfort.
