Australian Day

G'Day Mate! Our residents celebrated Australia day with an Australian themed party in the Orchid Café. 
 
Residents were full of laughter blowing on a digeridoo and were amazed at the hand painted design. The staff and residents had fun with Australian themed props and indulged in delicious cupcakes while watching a documentary, learning about the amazing landmarks in Australia. 
 
Resident Ambassador Gill said "I've never seen a digeridoo, what a beautiful instrument I can now say I have tried"

New Year, New Ear

Our home warmly welcomed Amanda from Jatec Healthcare for a special community ear wax removal clinic, offering free ear checks to residents and local community members.

The clinic provided an excellent opportunity for people to receive professional ear health advice and checks in a relaxed and friendly environment. Amanda’s expertise was greatly appreciated by everyone who attended, helping to promote better hearing health in the community.

Jewellery making

Jewellery making for arts and crafts has become a favourite in our home. It’s therapeutic, and it’s nice to make gifts for family members. The activity gives residents independence, fun and enjoyment.

Another lovely day of curling

Another lovely game of curling to start the day. Being active and competitive keeps the body and brain stimulated, such a fun sport to play.

The red team won with 84 points, but the blues weren't far behind with 80 points. We were lucky to have Chef Sonia to help out and have a quick go! Lovely having the team join in.
