The past few months have had their ups and downs. We have seen new staff come to the home and take their place with us. We have also said goodbye to some team members. The sad passing of our loved and respected Registered Nurse Carron has reminded us that we need to hold close to our own loved ones. We continue to support Carrons family over this difficult time and we would like to
give our thanks and gratitude to all those residents, family and community members who thought of Carron, her family and our staff over this time - your kind words were much appreciated. I would like to thank Kerrie and Crystal for organising and presenting the ANZAC day service. This is an important tradition that Woodford Manor is honoured to hold every year. We thank the residents for their kind compliments on the service. A big thank you to Kriz from lifestyle for setting up the technology. Lee and her glamour squad did an amazing job with our Mother’s day glamour photo shoot. Our ladies looked fabulous, and these photos will make a lovely keepsake for our families. We look forward to seeing our dashing men over the next few months!! As winter settles in, I would like to take this opportunity to share a few updates and reflections from across our home. The colder months remind us of the importance of warmth, connection, and community — values that continue to guide everything we do each day. Keeping Warm, Safe, and Comfortable Our priority during winter is ensuring all residents remain safe, comfortable, and well supported. Across the facility, we are focusing on: • Maintaining warm indoor environments • Monitoring resident wellbeing closely • Supporting seasonal health and nutrition needs • Enhancing infection prevention practices • Providing comfortable communal spaces for social connection. Supporting Wellbeing Through the Winter Months Winter can sometimes bring feelings of isolation or reduced activity, so we are continuing to encourage engagement through meaningful activities and social opportunities. From warm morning teas and music sessions to crafts and themed events, our lifestyle team is helping residents stay connected and active. Families and visitors play an important role in maintaining resident wellbeing, and we always appreciate the time you spend with your loved ones. Looking Ahead Over the coming months, we look forward to celebrating several seasonal activities and community events within the home. Winter offers many opportunities to slow down, share stories, and enjoy the comfort of companionship together. We look forward to the traditional rivalry of the State of Origin (Go the Blues!) we have the Commonwealth Games with its pomp and ceremony, and as always, the country favourite of the Ekka. Thank you for your continued trust and support. Wishing everyone a safe, warm, and healthy winter season Natalie Facility Manager
