Seabrae Manor Summer 2025-26

The latest edition of the Seabrae Sentinel is here, and summer at Seabrae Manor has been a season full of life, laughter, and some truly memorable moments.

December arrived with all the warmth the festive season deserves. Our annual Christmas market had residents, families, and staff browsing stalls and soaking up the festive atmosphere, while the Pine Rivers Municipal Brass Band delivered a magical evening of Christmas carols. We also got creative with our "Bling My Wheels" activity, dressing up mobility aids with tinsel and baubles, before gathering together for our annual Christmas lunch and ringing in the New Year with a Happy Hour and a few well-deserved bubbles.

January kicked off with a burst of national pride, as Australia Day celebrations brought damper making, Uluru painting, bingo, trivia, and games. Local artist Heather also visited to lead a watercolour painting session that had residents rediscovering skills they hadn't used in years, and a lunch outing to Cafe 63 in Redcliffe made for a beautiful afternoon by the water.

February was one of the busiest months of the season. A Valentine's Day High Tea, Pancake Day cooking and reminiscing, a heartfelt baby shower for lifestyle assistant Emily, a visit to Caboolture Historical Village, and our very own Seabrae Winter Olympics - where Janice took home the gold in the skiing event - all made for a month to remember. We also welcomed the Lunar New Year with a spectacular performance by Chinese dancers, Yum Cha, and Chinese art activities, and our intergenerational kindy visits returned for 2026, bringing all the energy and joy they always do.

This edition also introduces resident Geoff - a former police officer and Australian rifle shooting representative - and team member Kevin, as well as updates from our Clinical Care and Quality teams.
