10-year Trott downmemory lane
Olga and her late husband Tom moved into Trott Park immediately after its doors opened in 2009 and spent around five years there together before his passing. As pioneering residents, the couple were instrumental in sparking the warm and welcoming culture at the home. “When we first came here, I used to put videos on in the common room and get all the residents to come and watch,” she said. “Before the trolley came along, Tom and I also ran the shop downstairs, which provided residents with pharmacy goods and snacks. “Tom was very well thought of here… he was a real gentleman.”
Olga is still actively involved in activities on site.
“I go to bingo and ladies group,” she said. “We do different things and have fun talking about families, photos and things like that. “It’s been very interesting hearing about everyone’s different lives.” Olga says she loves everything about living at AnglicareSA Trott Park.
“Life’s been very good here,” she said.
In January, AnglicareSA Trott Park aged care home celebrated its 10th birthday. Staff and residents who had been at Trott Park for the full 10 years were recognised at a celebratory lunch. Olga (pictured above) was one of three inaugural residents who celebrated a decade of memories at Trott Park.
“The carers are very obliging and helpful in every way and so is everyone – the residents, the nurses, and the lifestyle, hospitality and cleaning staff – absolutely everyone. “I’m very happy – I would definitely say this is one of the best nursing homes you could possibly have.”
AnglicareSA and the University of Adelaide are proud to partner in a scholarship to be awarded in April to a high- achieving university hopeful experiencing disadvantage. The AnglicareSA 150 Augustus Short Scholarship will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the iconic St Peter’s Cathedral and the Right Reverend Dr Augustus Short. As the first Vice-Chancellor and a pioneer in the founding of the University of Adelaide, Dr Short believed high-achieving students, regardless of wealth, should have access to higher education. We look forward to sharing details of the successful recipient in the next edition of Supporter. Scholarship targets disadvantaged high-achievers
