REVITALISINGAGEDCARE W estbourne Park and Brompton Residential Aged Care sites are undergoing renovations to improve the environment for residents, visitors and staff. At Westbourne Park, the Ackland wing is being upgraded to make it more inviting and homelike for residents living with dementia. The upgrades include a new "sensory room", better access to the courtyard, changes to the entrance and living room, as well as painting and new blinds in the communal areas. The renovations underway at AnglicareSA Brompton aim to create a more “home-like” feel, improve connectivity with the outdoor spaces, and provide a serene and tranquil environment that encourages social interaction and wellbeing. The upgrade includes the refurbishment of all resident bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms. The main courtyard, activity room, ground floor dining room and reception area and foyer will also be upgraded. The works are expected to be completed in the first half of 2019
BLANKET SALISBURY WITH LOVE

T he Lions Club of Mawson Lakes recently jumped on board with our Blanket Adelaide with Love campaign by holding a similar event of its own. Salisbury Councillor and Lions Club member Beau Brug facilitated the event at the Mawson Lakes Centre. The Lions Club held a sausage sizzle and the public were invited to come down and donate winter goods for those in need. The event exceeded everyone's expectations, with the donations flowing thick and fast for our emergency assistance services at Salisbury. The surplus went to Elizabeth Mission. Buoyed by the success of the event, the Lions Club of Mawson Lakes will hold another event in November for our Christmas Hamper Appeal. Thank you to the Lions Club, Salisbury Council and all of those who supported the day.
The Ackland wing upgrade was celebrated by staff, residents and their families in August
