We're marking five years of Ice Cream Day at Blueheath! 🍦

What started as a small gesture during a COVID-19 lockdown has become one of Blueheath’s most-loved traditions...

Back in 2021, Operations Manager David Kelly picked up some boxed ice creams to add to his rounds as he hand-delivered the mail around the village. The response was instant and a weekly tradition was born.

Five years on, residents still gather for their midweek sweet treat, proving that sometimes the simplest things can bring people together.

Blueheath at The Bower is proud to be supporting Legacy Week 2026, helping raise funds and awareness for an organisation that provides vital support to veterans' families.

With many veteran families calling Blueheath home, supporting Legacy Australia is a meaningful way for us to recognise their service and give back to those who continue to need support.

📰 Our latest story features resident Ann Harris, who shares why Legacy has played such an important role in her life and why she believes community support matters.

It was great to see lots of friendly faces at the Central Coast Retirement Village & Resort Expo at Mingara Recreation Club earlier this week! 👋

If you missed us at the expo but are thinking about your next move, we’re here to continue the conversation. Get in touch to find out more about our communities and what’s possible for your next chapter at: bit.ly/3LBK1sX.

There’s always something happening at Blueheath and the community workshop is a perfect example! ⚒️

More than just a place for DIY projects, this resident-led workshop brings neighbours together to share skills, tackle repairs, restore treasured furniture and help one another. It’s another way Blueheath residents stay active, connected and independent while enjoying everything community living has to offer.

We heard from workshop regular Donal about what residents can expect when they visit. You can read all about it at: bit.ly/4bKFgad.
