Village teams go to great lengths to put a smile on their residents faces.
Keyton, the operator with more than 75 retirement villages, has been crunching the numbers of its Milestone Club.
Its dedicated Resident Engagement team provide a heartfelt initiative recognising residents who reach extraordinary age milestones.
From July 2024 to June 2025, Keyton proudly acknowledged:
- 12 residents who turned 100;
120 residents who turned 95; and
394 residents who turned 90.
A celebration of more than 48,000 years!
Each celebration includes a personalised certificate and a commemorative medallion, which as Keyton state are small gestures that reflect their deep respect and appreciation for these incredible individuals.
Residents who turn 100 are offered a choice of two gifts from Keyton: a professionally written mini memoir on their life, or a professional photography session.
“This initiative is a tribute to the lives, stories and wisdom that enrich our communities every day,” said Keyton.
Round of applause to the Village teams for making these moments truly special and to Keyton’s Resident Engagement team Libby Szetho, Annabel Norris and Amanda Uhlmann for bringing the initiative to life.
Australia's largest professional development for village and community manager and head office staff.
