A fairytale feeling in aged care

Transforming into Cinderella takes a team effort. But instead of fairy godmothers, it's our staff at Benjamin Short Grove who make every day feel like a fairytale for Val, one of our residents.

“They help me shower, dress me and do my hair, and get me ready,” says Val, a resident at Benjamin Short Grove for over 18 months.

"I feel like Cinderella going to the ball.”
