Stepping into the World of Dementia to Deliver Better Care

Our team recently had the opportunity to participate in an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) dementia training experience, delivered in partnership with Dementia Australia.

This innovative program allowed our employees to step into the shoes of a person living with dementia, and therefore building deeper insight into the challenges, emotions and sensory changes that shape everyday experiences.

By strengthening empathy and understanding, our employees are better equipped to provide truly person-centred care that respects the dignity and individuality of every resident.

At Warrina Homes, we are committed to investing in learning experiences that elevate care and make a meaningful difference.

A sincere thank you to Dementia Australia for their expertise and partnership.

💙 Because understanding changes everything.

Today we proudly celebrate International Nurses Day and honour the incredible nurses who make a profound difference in the lives of older people every day.

Aligned with the 2026 theme, “Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives,” we recognise the skill, compassion and leadership of our nursing teams. In Aged Care, empowered nurses are essential to advocate for residents, deliver high quality clinical care, and support dignity, safety and wellbeing at every stage of life.

Thank you to our nurses and the teams who support them for your professionalism, commitment and dedication to excellence in care. You are vital to our organisation, our communities, and the future of Aged Care.

This Mother’s Day, we take a moment to recognise and celebrate the remarkable women who enrich our lives through their love, strength, and compassion. It is a time to honour mothers, grandmothers, carers, mentors, and all mother figures whose guidance and care leave a lasting legacy across generations.

To our residents, we thank you for the wisdom, stories, and warmth you share so generously with the Warrina Homes community. We are privileged to celebrate the important roles you have played, and continue to play, in the lives of your families, friends, and communities.

To our dedicated staff, thank you for the compassion and commitment you bring to our Homes each day. Whether you are a mother yourself or someone who embodies a nurturing spirit, your care creates comfort, dignity, and joy for those around you. Your contribution makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our Residents and their loved ones.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to families and the broader community for the ongoing support, connection, and care you provide at every stage of life.

Wishing everyone a very happy Mother’s Day.

Warrina Homes is pleased to announce that we have been recognised as the 3rd fastest-growing organisation on the 2026 BDO Fast Movers SA list, with the awards recently celebrated at the National Wine Centre of Australia in Adelaide.

These prestigious awards highlight South Australia’s top 25 most dynamic and high-performing companies. We are proud to be acknowledged among this group, reflecting the sustained growth and strength of our organisation.

We are also honoured to have once again received the Elevated Success Award (for organisations with a minimum annual turnover of $5 million), recognising the highest percentage of revenue growth over a three-year period. This achievement underscores our continued focus on sustainable growth, financial stewardship, and delivering value to those we serve.

This recognition would not be possible without the commitment and dedication of our team, the guidance of our Board, and the trust placed in us by our residents, their families, and our broader community.

At Warrina Homes, we remain committed to our Mission, Vision, and Values, and to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who entrust us with their care.

Today, we honour ANZAC Day and remember the service, sacrifice and resilience of all who have served our nation. We pay our respects to the veterans in our care, their families, and all who served in the past and the present.

Lest we forget.

We are pleased to celebrate the completion of the full refurbishment of the Billabong (Community Centre) at Warrina Valley Estate - a space that has been at the heart of Village life for 23 years.

This significant milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to providing contemporary, welcoming environments that support connection, wellbeing, and quality of life for our residents. The revitalised centre now offers enhanced amenities and a refreshed setting that honours its history while meeting the needs of today and tomorrow.

It has been especially rewarding to see the positive response from residents, staff, and management, who have all embraced the renewed space with enthusiasm and appreciation. Their feedback reinforces the importance of investing in the places where community truly comes to life.

This milestone also marks our third major project completion in April - a reflection of our ongoing commitment to investing in our communities and enhancing the environments where people live and work. Thank you to everyone involved in bringing this project to fruition.

We’re proud to celebrate the opening of our brand new kitchen at Warrina Crescent (Ingle Farm), featuring state-of-the-art equipment designed to support the highest standards of care for our residents.

A high-quality kitchen is far more than a workspace - it is central to delivering nutritious, safe, and enjoyable meals every day. With modern facilities and upgraded equipment, our team can prepare fresh, flavourful food that meets individual dietary needs while maintaining dignity and choice. Importantly, these enhancements enable the safe preparation of texture-modified meals, ensuring all residents can enjoy meals that are both appealing and nutritionally balanced, served at the right temperature and with the care they deserve.

Investing in quality kitchen infrastructure is an investment in our residents’ health, wellbeing, and quality of life - because good food, prepared well, truly matters.

A big thank you to everyone involved in bringing this important project to life.

Ageing Australia

Warrina Homes is pleased to announce the official opening of a newly expanded section of its Corporate Offices in Adelaide, South Australia. This expansion follows a period of sustained growth across key business areas. The new workspace integrates modern office design, improved meeting and breakout areas - all created to encourage efficiency, innovation and team connectivity.

“Our continued growth reflects the strength of our people, our partnerships, and our commitment to excellence,” said Andrew Curle (CEO). “The new office extension represents an investment not only in infrastructure, but in the future of our organisation and our team.”

The expansion underscores Warrina Homes’ commitment to its core values, particularly its role as a Good Corporate Citizen dedicated to strengthening South Australia's Aged Care system through strategic investment in service design and innovation, ensuring improved outcomes for our community.

Easter invites solemn reflection on the completed work of Jesus Christ on the Cross - His sacrifice, victory over sin and death, and the hope secured through His resurrection.

This truth shapes our commitment to compassionate service in Aged Care, reminding us that every person is valued, redeemed, and worthy of dignity and love. As we care for older Australians, we are privileged to honour lives marked by faith, resilience, and wisdom.

We thank our dedicated staff, volunteers, residents, and families for faithfully living out these values each day. May this Easter bring renewed hope, peace, and assurance to you and your loved ones.

"He is Risen! Wishing everyone a joyous and blessed Easter!"

This International Women’s Day, we proudly recognise the women who make a lasting difference in our community every day.
