Located in the Adelaide suburb of Blackwood, South Australia, Resthaven Blackwood Retirement Living (Waite Street) is a retirement village that provides a comfortable and secure living environment for older people seeking a peaceful and social lifestyle. Set in established gardens, this small and private retirement village makes for easy living in the beautiful Adelaide Hills.
Residents enjoy the perfect location that meets their needs, with the village providing easy access to local shops, cafes, and transport, as well as nearby parks and recreational areas. The peaceful and well-maintained gardens provide a beautiful and tranquil setting for residents to relax and enjoy their retirement.
Resthaven Blackwood Retirement Living (Waite Street) aims to foster a strong sense of community, with a friendly and supportive environment ensuring that residents feel safe and connected.
On Friday, 28 February, Resthaven held its 2025 Excellence Awards. The event recognised and celebrated Resthaven’s staff and volunteers, and the valuable and important work they do to contribute to the outstanding care and support of older people and their carers.
Held at the Wolf Blass Centre, Morphettville, almost 300 people attended the event, including the 80 award finalists, people who had nominated them, and special guests. Nominations for the awards were received from Resthaven residents, clients and families, as well as colleagues – with more than 1,800 nominations received.
Formal recognition programs, flexible work arrangements, increased rates of pay and additional leave entitlements are just some of the transformations Resthaven’s Executive Manager People & Culture, Sylvia Powell, has championed since joining Resthaven in 2020.
Coming on board soon after the appointment of CEO Darren Birbeck, the pair have worked together with the executive management team to boost the culture and conditions at Resthaven. They each strongly believe in workforce development and in celebrating the success of others. This International Women’s Day they are doing just that, while continuing to take steps to question unconscious bias, challenge discrimination and bring awareness to the areas where women’s equality is still a work in progress.
Resthaven is proud to celebrate its 90th anniversary in 2025 with a series of events, activities and concerts to be held across all of Resthaven’s residential, community services and retirement lifestyle sites.
‘Ninety years ago, in the coastal southern suburb of Brighton, Resthaven opened its doors for the first time,’ Darren Birbeck, Resthaven CEO says. ‘Formed from the belief that older women with nowhere to live deserved charitable accommodation, members of the Methodist Church set about establishing this home.’
