Belvedere Aged Care Celebrates Family and Friendships

On Friday, 11 April 2025, Belvedere Aged Care celebrated its residents and their multigenerational ties that bring joy and lasting memories. As Easter approaches, it was the perfect opportunity to bring together grandchildren of all ages, along with parents and grandparents, for an afternoon of live entertainment, delicious food, and Easter-themed fun in the surrounds of Belvedere’s gardens and newly renovated dining hall.

Sharing our values of family and fun, City of Greater Dandenong Mayor, Cr Jim Memeti, joined the festivities, helping judge the colouring competition, enjoying Belvedere’s signature Easter buffet prepared by our long-standing chef of over 15 years, Raj Chandran, and engaging warmly with residents and their families.

A proud local himself, Cr Memeti acknowledged Belvedere’s strong commitment to fostering intergenerational connections: “This unique event brings everyone together to improve intergenerational connections, enhance social engagement and boost the wellbeing of everyone involved.”

For Belvedere Aged Care — a boutique, family-owned residential facility — events like this are a regular feature of the lifestyle and activities calendar.

“Each month, our calendar is filled with in-house and external events for residents to enjoy,” says Karin Blavo, Belvedere’s Lifestyle Manager.

“We’re committed to creating opportunities where families and friends can feel welcome and included. When loved ones are involved, the emotional, physical, and mental wellbeing of our residents is uplifted well beyond the day itself.”

Personal Care Assistant Annie shared the joy of helping residents prepare for the celebration: “When residents welcome their families, I see the pride they feel in themselves and in their home here at Belvedere.”

Tracey Davis, whose mother resides at Belvedere, reflected on the day: “I attended with my daughter, three grandchildren, and my niece and her three children. It was a beautiful day. The music was lovely, the buffet was amazing, and the egg hunt was a big hit. Thank you for creating these lovely opportunities for our residents to enjoy with their loved ones.”
