Previous Month Highlights – January

We were given some fresh apricots and made some lovely jam for our Australian

Damper.

The residents surprised myself (Lisa) with an early birthday party, as I was going on

holidays. I really was surprised so thank you to everyone that was involved.

Liza and Joanne held a memorial mass on Wednesday the 15th for Merv, David, Peter

and Julius. This was a very emotional afternoon. Chris and Logan spoke a few lovely

words about Merv.

We celebrated Australia Day on the 22nd this year with a BBQ and pavlova. In the

afternoon we played our famous indoor cricket match followed by the thong throwing

competition. Congratulations to Shirley for being this year’s champion thong thrower

and Monica for being Cricketer of the Year. Kay B won the best bowler competition.

On Wednesday the 29th we held Chinese New Year. We made some banana spring rolls

for desert with the residents. Everyone had their card with their Chinese New Year

animal on and a fortune cookie. Jean and Gordon came and entertained us with a

beautiful concert. Everyone had a good time, singing, dancing and clapping.

Comments and Complaints

Does everyone know that if you have a problem you CAN do something about it?

The Helping Us to Care Brochures are located at the Kesters notice board which is at the

Kesters Road entrance to the Nursing Home.

There are also some located in the Ceafield Wing both near the notice board and on the

bookcase.

You can also always ask one of our friendly staff if you cannot find them.

Feedback is an integral part of improving the home and providing the highest quality of care

to all residents.

All issues are treated as confidential and we endeavour to sort out any problems in a timely

manner.
