Fire Alert serviced all our Fire Extinguishers and hoses. SWAT Exterminators did their 3 monthly spray against cockroaches.

The Toyota Conquest’s fuel tank had a leak and was taken to Pat Duckham motors for repairs.

The Occupational Therapist from Edendale Hospital made her monthly visit to the Home, she will be coming twice a month in future.

Four new Seminarians from the Seth Mokitimi Methodist Seminary spent time with the residents.

Alison and ladies had fun with the residents singing, reading and acting out a new Bible story.

Three ladies from the SOS Children’s Village donated muffins for the residents to enjoy at tea time

RESIDENTS:

Thank you Parklane SuperSpar for donating the Birthday cake for our monthly party. We celebrated the Birthdays of Biddy (39), Kegan (19), Alex H (31) and Carol (47). Biddy’s parents donated cake for all the staff and residents. Alex’s parents donated biscuits, chips, chocolates and sausage rolls for all the residents. Carol’s family arranged a party with party packs for everyone.
