Anna knows a treat when she sees one! Anna had her very own catering business "Knibbles of Toorak" and is well known for dishing a treat!

One of the challenges we all face during a lockdown is preventing social isolation, and residents missing those extra special treats family members and friends bring in when they visit.

Understanding this, Lifestyle staff met the challenge head-on and whipped a trolley laden with 7 flavours of delicious ice-cream around all three levels of the aged care home, ensuring everyone received a visit.

Not everyone was able to have ice-cream for dietary reasons, but they all loved the social experience of a personal visit, a quick ‘hello’ and a sunny smile!

The hardest part for residents? Trying to decide which flavour of ice-cream to try first!
