Fun & Laughter at Kalyra
Kalyra Woodcroft is an innovative Residential Aged Care facility that has an intergenerational partnership with The Southern Montessori Middle School, which is co-located on the grounds of Kalyra. This partnership is an Australian first and paves the way for ageless friendships, and was featured on the ABC for its ground-breaking approach to aged care. The program has received local recognition in winning the South Australian Community Achievement Awards’ – Tackling Ageism Award, as well as international recognition, being awarded the Intergenerational Program winner for Ageing Asia in Singapore. You can view a short 7 News report about the program here.
The Southern Montessori Middle School is co-located with Kalyra’s Woodcroft Aged Care home, providing both the residents and the children an opportunity to enjoy each other’s company and share new experiences and learnings. The students and residents enjoy activities such as pizza making (using Kalyra Woodcroft’s wood fire pizza oven) and games.
