TANDARA FAMILY

For people living in our residential aged care centres, Valentine’s Day can be a reminder of the importance of companionship and support. We would like to share the story of two couples who have been together for many years and are now living together at SwanCare Tandara.

Bill and Zeny B. have been married for over 30 years. The couple spends most of their days inside their shared room. Zeny will sometimes join in the activities but does prefer to spend more of her time with Bill. They love it when they go down to the garden and watch the water fountain together.

Eric and Heather C. are another beautiful couple we have with us at Tandara. Heather moved here in 2016 and since then, she has been actively participating in daily social engagement activities. Eric has recently been admitted to Tandara as well. Even though their rooms are not on the same floor, Eric visits her almost every day. Eric also loves to tend to the garden and makes his own plans as to how he would like to spend his day. They both love to join in for happy hours and sing along sessions.
