March is just about gone, and didn’t we live it up here at Finley Regional Care!
We were very busy hosting an Autumn-themed activities afternoon where we had a lot of different events on show for our residents! These included a pop-up coffee and cake stall run by our wonderful receptionist Isabella and a carnival game stand where the residents could try a game of Quoits (and a lot of residents won beautiful plush toys)! Our amazing volunteer Wendy was busy manning the Relaxation Station, where the residents could have a foot bath, a pedicure or even a foot massage! And finally, we had a craft corner, where we made bird feeders and tried our hand at flower pressing with gorgeous flowers donated by our very own Paige and her family.
We had been busy with a visit from Biralee Preschool, during which we taught them one of our favourite active games and shared some laughs. To celebrate NSW Senior’s Week, we were invited to the Finley Library for a gorgeous morning tea hosted by Finley’s finest Librarian, Ros, and had a very inspiring talk with Gail Joley about the importance of moving our bodies as we age. We all came back with new tips and tricks to help with mobility!
St Patrick’s Day was celebrated with a morning tea, and we served shamrock shortbread cookies that we baked together the day before – delicious, if we might say so ourselves!
We were visited by a lovely dog named Possum who we shared a lot of pats with, and had a few good yarns with his owner, Trevor!
The last half of our month got us moving and grooving with three concerts and a birthday party to celebrate all our March birthdays.
