Boronia Babble Christmas edition

Donna’s Desk

Wow time has surely flown and now were heading very quickly towards the silly season.

Truthfully I LOVE Christmas. I love the festive music, the sparkly lights, the time with family and friends and of course presents!! But its not the same for everyone I know for some this is not an easy time of the year and that it can often leave people feeling lonely and in pain. Id like to encourage every-one who finds this season pain-ful to seek out assistance, to ex-press your feelings and to grieve with someone to be not alone. Use your voice so we can offer some comfort if needed. We are here to help.

Talking of Silly seasons Boronia is not exempt from the crazi-ness. We have decorating, con-certs, drinks at the club, Christ-mas light outings, shopping outings and much more. Of course our main party will be our resident Christmas after-noon tea on the 14th of Decem-ber—lots of fun, music and food im confident it will be a blast. Look out for all the notices in this addition and on the activity planner and be sure to not miss anything. Until next year God Bless and merry Christmas

Harvey is Here!!!

Harvey the Cat has arrived at Boronia House and is certainly living the life in Wattle.

The residents of Wattle have been enjoying his company, watching him lurk around

over the nurses station desks watching the nurses complete their paperwork.

Laundry Lost and found Will be running from the 1st Od December til the 17th of December.

What of course would be better would be no lost clothing.

Please remember all clothing must be labelled.

If you have clothes coming from home or clothes that have been gifted to

you then we need to label them

Please ask for a bag at reception where we can send them to the laundry

for labelling

Hopefully if were all diligent lost and found will become a thing of the past.
