that improve daily life—whether it’s safety, social connections, or just making the day more enjoyable,” Holmes says.“If their involvement with us improves their life, we’re here for that.” 70 YEARS OF IMPACT As the CEO of a 70-year-old organisation steeped in community spirit, Holmes is not content with simply honoring Goodwin’s legacy. He is committed to evolving it, ensuring the next chapter is even more impactful. Whether through advanced technology, compassionate care, or values-driven leadership, Goodwin stands as a testament to what’s possible when an organisation never loses sight of why it exists. “We were formed by the community, for the community,” Holmes says.“And that’s still what drives us—every single day.” NEXT CHAPTER OF SENIOR LIVING As Goodwin approaches its eighth decade, the focus remains firmly on the future. Holmes reveals the organisation is in the midst of a strategic planning refresh to align with the evolving needs of an aging population. “We don’t feel we need to change who we are,” he says. “We’re very clear on our mission and values. But we are looking at elevating our services to the next level—becoming a more holistic, integrated one-stop-shop for our region’s seniors’ needs.” That could mean expanding into new service areas currently outsourced or not traditionally associated with aged care. But for Holmes, it’s about being responsive. “The wants and needs of seniors today are different from ten years ago,” he notes.“We need to meet those expectations.” This includes improving everyday experiences in meaningful ways.“We’re focused on the small things Dowse Projects has been a proud partner of the Goodwin team for the past 10 years, supporting them in the delivery of their highquality Aged Care and Retirement Living developments.
