Going into aged care, some might want their best life to be a quiet one – but our friends at Homestyle Aged Care know that’s not for everyone.
For Ray Beckerley, a resident at Homestyle Clarendon Grange in Bayswater, Victoria, his best life is serving as crew chief on the Holden VH Commodore race car driven by Graeme Meer – so Homestyle has jumped in to support the car enthusiast and Clarendon Grange identity with a sponsorship.
“We were delighted to be able to sponsor the car, especially given Ray’s involvement – his passion is something we wanted to encourage and support. The Homestyle Race Car was born,” said Homestyle.
Ray has kept Homestyle in the loop about race results, even as COVID-19 restrictions have interrupted seasons.
“He attempted to host a drive day to allow some Homestyle residents and team members the chance to experience speeds of up to 280km/h – however the driver Graeme had to isolate over the weekend of the event due to COVID-19.
“The second attempt at Sandown was a weekend race meet, commencing Friday with practice where again bad luck befell the team, and a crash in practice put the car out for the weekend,” said Homestyle.
Homestyle says its team is delighted to be able to share in Ray’s passion, and he’s undaunted despite the setbacks.
“He holds out hope for a drive day later in the year where he says there will be a few surprises for each of the passengers, but he’s keeping tight lipped about the white-knuckle adventure ahead!”
Full speed ahead, Ray – Homestyle Aged Care is right behind you!
