We're always inspired by the creativity of our residents at knitting club each week!

Did you know the street signs and totems in Emmaus Village aren't just for decoration? They play a crucial role in enhancing the independence of residents by providing clear cues that help guide movement throughout the Village.

Emmaus Village Port Macquarie Inspired by the renowned The Hogeweyk® model in the Netherlands, Emmaus Village is an innovative, purpose-built community in Port Macquarie for those living with dementia.

WOW! We are absolutely blown away that over 700 people braved the rain to attend the Emmaus Village Open Day today. We couldn't have anticipated such an incredible turnout, and we are so grateful that so many people chose to wait for a tour or coffee despite the weather and time. Thank you for your amazing support.

Our residents have been enjoying the sunshine in the vegetable garden and yesterday welcomed some new feathered friends!

Fun fact: Did you know you can hypnotise a chicken by holding it a certain way? We even received a demonstration! Looks like we might have some chicken whisperers living at Emmaus Village!

Join us for our chicken naming competition this weekend at Open Day to help give our new feathered friends some names 🐓

Did you know the world's first dementia village, The Hogeweyk in the Netherlands, opened in 2009? The small home model is well-proven, and at St Agnes', we were fortunate to work directly with the founders to ensure we built the best environment possible for our wonderful residents.

The countdown is on until the Emmaus Village Open Day! Join us at the BBQ area between 11.30am and 1.30pm for a gold coin donation BBQ lunch. Every dollar raised will be donated to Dementia Friendly - Port Macquarie whose invaluable experience and advice helped make Emmaus Village as dementia-friendly as possible.

Emmaus Village staff, Nicola and Fiona, braved the rain on Saturday, 11 May for the Memory Walk & Jog in Forster/Tuncurry, raising funds for Dementia Australia.

Fiona shared, "Walks like this are special because my Nan had dementia and my uncle is living with it." Nicola added, "Even though it was wet, we had a lot of fun. Working at Emmaus Village makes it even more special."

Rise and shine, Emmaus! Start your Friday off right with a coffee or cake from Breaking Bread Café ☕️

The sound of music filled Emmaus Village yesterday as our residents had their first jam session in our purpose-built music room! 🎵

Fr Paul Gooley today celebrated the first mass in our newly renovated St Teresa of Kolkata chapel at Emmaus, much to the delight of the residents, staff, family, and friends. A blessing of dedication was also given to mark this special occasion.

As we reflect, we also wanted to share a glimpse into the incredible craftsmanship behind the two stained-glass panels in the chapel, which were locally created by That Leadlight Guy and feature St Teresa of Kolkata, Jesus, and the Road to Emmaus.

The official re-consecration of the chapel will take place later in the year.

It might be raining today, but it won't be long until our residents will be enjoying sunsets like these from the entertainment deck!
