We have been very busy in Activities throughout the month of September!
We introduced cooking classes with our kitchen staff on a Tuesday morning. The residents have really enjoyed making yummy treats to share and enjoy.
We also introduced Wine and Dine on the first Wednesday of the month. Residents come to the activity room for dinner and we have our volunteer, Keith, play music for them. This makes for a great social afternoon, where residents can relax and enjoy each other’s company.
Rick from our Home Care team continues to run the Men’s group, which is attended by most of our male residents. These sessions are a fantastic way for our male residents to catch up, have a laugh, share stories or talk about specific topics and enjoy a drink together.
This past month we held happy hour with our AFL day, which was very well received and enjoyed by all. Staff joined residents in the activity’s room with fun debate on who was going to be the winning team. Our residents continue to enjoy quizzes with our volunteer, Fay, and we still hold regular move afternoons.
We also would like to welcome Leisure and Lifestyle’s new Team Leader, Tracy Anderson. Tracy comes to us with over 40 years’ experience and we look forward to working with her and seeing what she brings to the activities department. Welcome, Tracy!
