Home:Mega Laundry serviced the Industrial washing machine and tumble drier. SWAT Exterminators visited and did their monthly spray of the kitchen.Fire Alert did the annual servicing of all the Fire Extinguishers.The Quantum was taken to Toyota to diagnose an ongoing problem.Someone started a fire behind the laundry in the early hours of the morning, luckily Janet, Lilian and 2 of the caregivers managed to put it out before it spread further.

Residents:We celebrated the following residents’ birthdays: Biddy (41), Kegan (21), Ryan (47), Alex (33) and Carol (49). Biddy’s parents brought cake for her birthday. Alex’s mom provided sausages for a braai and instant pudding on her birthday. Ryan’s parents brought cake for his birthday. Carol’s family brought cake and party packs for all the residents.Dr Laing visited and treated some of the residents for different ailments, mostly for flu and she continues to do bloods on all the residents.Three of the residents were admitted to MediClinic and one to Northdale Hospital. One of the residents went to Townhill for a follow up appointment.SASSA did a home visit and did life certificates for all the residents.

Staff:Karin is on a month’s leave. Daphne, Milly and Thembelihle are all looking after the residents while she is away. Some of you might have met or spoken to Thembelihle on the phone. She will be assisting us while Karin is on leave. Thembi has worked at Umgeni Hospital for a good few years and is very good with our residents. She has settled in very well. Louise was off sick, Wendy relieved her.

Take care

Karin & Lilian
