Annual Mission Bay Picnic
A grey sky and a bit of wind wasn’t enough to deter us from venturing out for our annual beach picnic to Mission Bay.
After twenty-seven residents had boarded the buses and all the walkers, tables, chairs, lunches, flasks and sunhats were packed, it was beach-bound.
We welcomed in the Year of the Tiger with a special luncheon:
Peacehaven placed in Christmas Competition
Other Activities
Special Mention
“Aging” of Accounts
Some family members have pointed out that the “aging” of the monthly accounts is incorrect. After discussions with our software provider it was discovered that we were missing out a crucial step when loading the data and that caused the “wild” aging data. Sorry about that folks but just ignore the aging until it corrects itself over the next few accounts.
ACC Workplace Safety
Last month we went through an independent audit of our workplace to assess the level of commitment to health and safety. |
Every year our industry magazine, InSite, holds a competition to find the aged care facilities with the best Christmas celebrations. The entries- received from all over New Zealand- are judged on community connections; staff involvement; resident interaction; decorations and theme inside; decorations and theme outside and innovation. 2009 was the first year we entered and we are delighted to have been placed 3rd out of many entries. The judges said “Top family Christmas Party complete with a play put on by the residents. The handmade decorations and cards were a treat. Also notable were the hands on the Christmas tree made out of tracing each resident’s hand and pinning the illustrations to a board in the shape of a Christmas tree. The kindergarten visits and ‘individual memories’ placemats were special too.” We received a $200 gift card.
