The last few months have been hot and wet but that is nothing new for the summer season here in Qld. We all sympathise with those in parts of Qld outside the southeast that are experiencing floods and many of the residents are keeping updated on what is happening in their old hometowns. Many of our residents and staff are looking forward to being able to get outside before the weather turns too cold. Our gardens are all growing well. We have had a few comments about the removal of the Frangipani that was growing out of the concrete near the front carpark. This was because it was diseased and could not be revived. It was planted in poor soil and concrete. We now have a new pot and a native lilac callistemon which is being nurtured. Our new maintenance officer, with a green thumb, Ken is slowly updating the gardens in the front and will continue to work with the new garden contractors to update the gardens slowly. The roadworks out the front have finally finished and in the past week they have turned on the traffic lights to get out of the Woolies carpark to turn right into Buckley Road, so when you are leaving the facility and travelling south, please remember that there are now two sets of lights to go through. If is great to have our two clinical nurses Anne and Tabi back after maternity leave, it only seems like yesterday that they went on maternity leave and now their little ones are almost 8 months old. We appreciate feedback from everyone and have had some great comments lately about the facility, one of our residents stated that she did not want to come into care, but now she tells everyone that she has died and gone to heaven and all the staff are the angels. It is great to get good feedback like this, but we also appreciate getting any kind of feedback. Please remember we cannot fix issues if you don’t tell us about them. Thank you all for your support Annette Facility Manager
