Order of the Eastern Star for the aged front entrance. On October 10th, 1992 the first resident Sister Winifred O'Dell was wheeled through the doors of the Star Gradens at Beaudesert. This was the new location for the Home as the site at Clayfield (Brisbane) had reached a point where a relocation was required. Star Gardens consists of 16 Hostel Units, 9 high care Hostel Units and 28 high care Special Needs Units. A dedicated staff of over 50 are required to perform the daily care of the residents. The Star Gardens are owned by The Order of the Eastern Star Homes for the Aged Inc and managed on their behalf by Centres for Retirement Living, one of the regions of Blue Care of the Uniting Church here in Queensland. The philosophy is to provide the highest quality to the residents of the home, catering for their physiological, psychological, spiritual and environmental needs to benefit them by incurring a fuller, interesting and more enjoyable life. In November 1997 Beau-View Chapter was instituted so that members of the Order who were residents at the Star Gardens could attend chapter. At present 8 of the residents are members and of these 5 attend Chapter every month.
