Treasure Hunt St. Patrick's Day is coming

And you might think it's a joke.

But I'd like to get my hands on

One of the little folk.

For they say in good old Ireland

If a Leprechaun you hold.

You'll go to the end of the rainbow

To his treasure pot of gold.

It may be a lot of blarney

For tis written in Irish folklore.

The Isle is home to the fairies

To be sure, to be sure, to be sure.

Management:

Welcome to Autumn and hopefully a reprieve from all of the hot weather we

have been experiencing recently.

The Management Team would like to extend a warm welcome to Chantelle

Butler, our new Clinical Manager. Chantelle comes to us with significant

experience in the Aged Care sector. This is a new position which has been

created to support our care teams, and ensure our clinical practice standards and

plans are in place. This role will encompass all three residential facilities and

Chantelle will work with the Home Managers and staff to maintain and improve

the standard of care we provide.

On the 9th of February the Food Service for Abernethy Nursing Home was

audited by Food Aware Australia. Congratulations to all of the hard working

staff on receiving an A Rating for the food service. We will shortly be

undergoing an expansion and renovation of the kitchen/catering facilities at

Abernethy.

Also in the pipeline, is the construction and development of a sensory garden

for the secure unit in Jacaranda Grove Hostel. This will provide many

meaningful activities for our care recipients in this area.

By popular demand, Julie and Graeme’s traveling art show will be gracing the

walls of Mountain View Lodge Hostel for the month of March. We hope you

enjoy the display as much as the residents of Abernethy and Jacaranda.

Bible Quote:

But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to

get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of

the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

Luke 6.35

Abernethy Home News the Month

Love was in the air this Valentine’s Day when Max surprised Fay with a

beautiful red rose. Max and Faye have been married for 39 wonderful years.

Residents enjoyed a lovely Valentines concert with Ellis singing many beautiful

love songs. As a special guest Tom Erwin came along to entertain us with his

talent of playing the Concertina. Tom was also quite the comedian having many

of residents laughing and sing along. The morning was enjoyed by all that

attended. As a special treat Tom will be back on the 8th of March to once again

entertain us all.

Due to residents requests Pamper day will now be held 2 times a month. The

MVLH News for the Month:

Welcome to Aileen Sellens, Dearne Smith and Doug Williams, we hope you are settling in

well.

On Tuesday the 14th of February we had the ‘Lowes’ Pop Up Shop come to MVLH. It was a

very successful morning, residents, relatives and staff enjoyed ‘shopping’ in the lounge room.

We will have another shopping morning in July when Lowes winter stock is available for

both men and women.

On Friday the 3rd of March we will be going to Nelson Bay Bowling Club for lunch. The

Club has $10 lunches and beautiful views of Nelson Bay. Please see Eleanor if you wish to

come along.

We will be having a St Patricks Day concert and morning tea on Friday the 17th of March.

Please wear your best green clothes/hat/scarf/shoes /tie and come and have a fun morning

with green food, drinks and lots of Irish music.

The ‘Wellness Clinic’ will continue to run on Wednesday afternoon at 2pm in the lounge

Cessnock City Seniors Festival 2017 begins on Friday the 3rd of March. I have a program of

what’s on around Cessnock and Kurri Kurri during the festival. I am currently trying to

organise to attend some of the events as a group, but I encourage you to attend any of the

events that interest you with family or friends.

MVLH, Jacaranda and Abernethy residents attended a fundraiser for Leukaemia and all blood

cancers at the Weston Workers Club on Monday the 27th of February. This is a very worthy

cause and I encourage all residents and staff to support future fundraising efforts for the

Mater and Newcastle Haematology Wards.

Jacaranda Grove News for the month

We had our first local shopping trip downtown to the Coles Shopping Centre

where a small group of residents had some time to browse the shops and

mingle with the public then enjoy morning tea at the local coffee shop. It was

good to see the residents thoroughly enjoy this experience and the people

they knew in the centre was extraordinary. We have decided to continue this

every second Friday so the residents can enjoy doing their own thing. A big

thankyou to Laurelle Reynolds for being our Volunteer and making this

happen.

Our Singleton Day out bus trip was one of our biggest days yet. A scenic drive

through Singleton brought back many memories for the residents. A lovely

lunch was enjoyed at the Singleton Shopping Centre then shopping was in

order. It is nice to see those residents who bought new clothes that day

wearing them now and looking radiant.

2017 Dates and Theme

NSW Seniors Festival, formerly NSW Seniors Week, runs for 10-days from Friday 3 March to Sunday 12 March 2017.

Now in its 59th year, NSW Seniors Festival is the largest festival for seniors in the Southern Hemisphere, reaching up to 500,000 seniors each year.

If you are over 60, NSW Seniors Festival gives you the chance to make new

friends or get together with old ones at an array of local community events, many which are free or heavily discounted.

Presented by the Department of Family and Community Services (FACS), NSW Seniors Festival is designed to celebrate the role seniors play and the

contributions they make to the NSW community, aligning to the policy objective of inclusive communities.

Every year during NSW Seniors Festival, government, community and commercial organisations hold hundreds of events across the state,

encompassing art, sport, music, entertainment, technology, recreation, health, good nutrition and much more!

The theme for the 2017 Festival is let’s do more together.

About FACSEach year, FACS directly supports around 800,000 people, reaches

a further one million people through local community-based programs, and provides over a million Seniors Cards.

Our work is broad and challenging. Every day we strive to improve lives by supporting:

people with disability, so they can realise their potential children and young people, so they have the best possible start to life and

are protected from abuse and neglect people in vulnerable circumstances, so they have suitable, stable and

sustainable accommodation and services that support them to overcome disadvantage

communities to become more resilient and inclusive

families, so they are safe from domestic, family and sexual violence Aboriginal people, so they have the same social and economic

opportunities as other Australians seniors, so they experience the benefits of living longer

St Patrick's Day in Australia St Patrick’s Day is an annual observance that is popular in Australia on March

17. This event serves as a tribute to Ireland and one of its patron saints, St Patrick.

The legend of the leprechaun and its gold is one of the many Irish folktales shared

on St Patrick's Day in Australia. Many people also wear green on the day.

Many Australians come together on St Patrick’s Day to celebrate Irish culture and

remember St Patrick’s life and achievements. Some businesses and organizations

hold St Patrick’s Day breakfasts and lunches where lucky door prizes are given

and Irish food and drinks are served. Many pubs, particularly Irish pubs, hold St

Patrick’s Day parties in the evenings, where local bands play Irish music and

green drinks are served.

St Patrick Day parades are held in cities such as Sydney and Brisbane. These

parades feature people clad in traditional Irish costumes or dressed in green, as

well and floats displaying the Irish flag. Some people dress as leprechauns while

others wear green wigs. Many Irish associations and historical societies hold

events that give people the chance to learn about the history of Irish immigration

and settlement in Australia.

Public Life

St Patrick’s Day is not a public holiday in Australia but it is a popular event so

many restaurants and pubs, particularly those with an Irish theme, are busy on the

day. Parking and traffic may be temporarily affected by St Patrick’s Day parades,

particularly along the main streets in some cities and towns.

Background

Many Australians remember the Irish settlement and culture on St Patrick’s Day.

The Irish were among the first Europeans to settle in Australia. They comprised

a portion of the convict settlement population in the late 1700s. More than

300,000 other Irish settlers (not convicts) migrated to Australia between 1840 and

1914. Many Irish immigrants came to Australia to escape famine in their

homeland. About 30 percent of Australians are believed to have some Irish

ancestry today.

One way of preserving Irish traditions and customs in Australia is celebrating St

Patrick’s Day each year. St Patrick is one of Ireland’s patron saints. He died on

March 17 in or around the year 493. He worked as a missionary in Ireland and it

is believed that he banished “snakes” from the country although the term may

have referred to druids or pagan worshippers.

Symbols

Many people wear the color green on St Patrick’s Day. They may also wear a

symbol of Ireland, such as a brooch in the shape of a shamrock or a harp. Images

of leprechauns or a pot of gold are seen in promotional material for St Patrick’s

Day. The Irish flag and balloons in flag’s colors (green, white and orange) are

also visible during events and activities on the day.

Falling Leaves

Little leaves fall softly down

Red and yellow, orange and brown

Whirling, twirling round and round

Falling softly to the ground

Little leaves fall softly down

To make a carpet on the ground.

Then, swish, the wind comes whistling by

And sends them dancing to the sky.

the home for at least 48 hours after symptoms have resolved. If you are unwell

please report to DON Rob Sherman or the Registered Nurse in each unit

BEFORE visiting a resident.

Visitors: Please wash your hands before and after leaving the Home. Use the

alcohol gel supplied throughout each home or alternately use soap and water at

the hand basin. These precautions will protect residents, staff and yourself.

A very sad poet was Jenny Her limericks weren't worth a penny

In technique they were sound, Yet somehow she found

Whenever she tried to write any She always wrote one line too many

There was once a hippo named Tate

Who sadly was underweight Though he had malts and shakes

Pies, tarts, and rich cakes He seemed to lose weight as he ate!

A girl from the Isle of Wight

Used to travel much faster than light She set out one day,

In a relative way And returned on the previous night

There once was a poet named Blix whose limericks went to line six.

He never did know How far they should go,

And never did bother to fix

If you catch a chinchilla in Chile And cut off its beard, willy-nilly

You can honestly say That you have just made

A Chilean chinchilla's chin chilly

A flea and a fly in a flue Were imprisoned, so what can they do?

"Let's flee said the fly" "Let's fly said the flee"

And they flew through a flaw in the flue
