Welcome

Dear Residents and Relatives,
Firstly, thank you to all residents, families and staff for making
me feel so welcome so quickly. I can’t quite believe how quickly
the first weeks have flown! I’d like to take this opportunity to
remind everyone that with the recent cold snap, the flu season
will soon be upon us. At Lansdowne Gardens, we are very
supportive of NSW Health’s recommendation for those at risk
and those in close contact with people at higher risk of influenza Lorita and Norman with the Easter Bunny
complications to get the flu shot. This year NSW Health’s
message includes; sneeze into your elbow, clean your hands and
stay at home if sick. If you are experiencing any flu symptoms at
all, we request that you do not visit your loved one until you are
24-hours symptom free. After last year’s season, we’d like to do
everything possible to avoid it spreading amongst our residents.

Our Leisure & Lifestyle team have some wonderful activities
coming up over the next couple of months, including an evening
Vivid tour and more high teas, pet therapy, art classes, gallery
and museum tours, special lunches, bus tours, cooking and of
course a lot of music! We’ll also be starting monthly BBQs at
both Manns Avenue and Wycombe Road, due to feedback from Alison and Marie at the Seniors' Week Luncheon
residents and their families. Should anyone have any other ideas
in regards to what we could do, please let the team know.

Once again, thank you for the welcome - if I haven’t had the
opportunity to meet with you yet, please do drop in and say
hello. It’s a privilege to be leading the wonderful team here and if
there is anything further we can be doing, please let us know.
With warm wishes,

Grand Kids Day 2018
