Callisto Place celebrates in style

There was plenty of birthday cheer as residents and the team came together for Callisto Place’s first birthday celebrations. 

The milestone moment capped off a wonderful 12 months since the retirement living community opened its doors and began welcoming residents said Senior Village Manager Guy Marinucci.

“Marking our first birthday with a celebratory event and open day was the perfect way to thank our residents for their support while showcasing the fantastic apartment options, shared amenities and services we have to offer,” Guy said.

“The past year has been an exciting time as we’ve worked to build an active and vibrant community here at Callisto Place.”

Concierge Justine Preston said a key focus for the team has been on establishing a program of activities that promote connection and wellbeing for residents.

“It’s been such a pleasure being part of our resident’s journeys from the moment they walked through our door,” Justine explained.

“Getting to know each other and learn more about their interests has meant we can provide more personalised support and activities from chair yoga and weekly social catchups through to establishing a community garden.” 

Other community benefits available include access to a shared vehicle and senior specific gym, with home and community support and allied health teams available if needed.
