2 BELLA VISTA NEWS, SUMMER 2021
News
From Ushani
The warmer weather has finally arrived, and
the grounds at Bella Vista Gardens look
beautiful and lush after the rain received
during Spring and now into Summer.
Christmas is just around the corner and
Bella Vista Gardens is busy getting dressed
up for the festive season. We are working
closely with our landscapers to get the
gardens in shape. Not only that, we have
also organised an external building clean to
make sure we are ready for the occasion in
full. Our Leisure & Lifestyle Team has already
started decorating the residence with
Christmas baubles and decorations. Our
Christmas tree is here and our Sonos system
is spreading beautiful Christmas music
throughout the residence for everyone to
enjoy this season.
Our residents’ Christmas Party was enjoyed
by all. Our Executive Chef and his team
provided a wonderful lunch for our
residents. Due to the current restrictions,
were unable to invite guests, however, I can
assure you that there will be plenty of
Christmas cheer around Bella Vista Gardens
for our residents to enjoy. Our Client
Services team is happy to assist you in
organising hair services if you want to get
ready for the season. As we enter into this
magical season, the best present that one
can hope for this year is good health. Best
wishes for a joyous Christmas and a New
Year filled with love, happiness, and
prosperity.

Housekeeping
Welcome everyone especially our new families. We
are very excited to have you as a part of the Bella
Vista Gardens family and I look forward to meeting
you face to face over the next few months.
Evidence of Resident Vaccinations
As we have now opened up and our residents are able
to go out on social visits, (apply here
https://cranbrookcare.com.au/application-for-
external-outing/) you may be requested to provide
evidence of vaccination for your loved one. This can
be obtained via Medicare the same way as you
obtained your own. If this is a challenge call Australian
Immunisation Register on 1800 653 809 & they will
be able to assist.
Hairdresser
We are very excited to have our hairdresser Samantha
back with us on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday each
week. Please contact myself or Celeste on 9672 6155
and we can assist with a booking.
Christmas
With Christmas approaching we are starting to think
of gifts for our loved ones. As the weather starts to
warm up and we are starting our bus trips again, a
new hat for outings may be appreciated. I’d just like
to remind you that any clothing will need to be
labelled to ensure that the new items find their way
back to their rightful owners after laundering. Also, if
you buy any electrical devices they will need to be
tested and tagged prior to their usage.
Regards,
Alison Thiele
