Dear Team,
You may be aware that late yesterday, one of our residents was involved in an alleged hit and run accident while he was out walking and returning from a visit to the local shops. Sadly, today we have learned that he has since passed away in hospital from his injuries.
For those not aware, the resident is Boris, from our Men’s Shed, who many of you may have been familiar with and met over the years at Easton Park. Boris lived in our Taylor House Home and was a real character whose presence will be dearly missed here at Glenfield.
As we so often see at Whiddon, our teams rallied around to provide assistance to Police and Ambulance, and I would like to personally thank Lynda Neil, Diya Lal and Frank Mathe for your efforts yesterday. My apologies if I have missed anyone.
While we work in aged care, and are privileged to care for our elders, this is a sad and tragic accident, so please ensure you reach out to Hapstar for immediate support if you need it.
Our thoughts are with Boris’s family during this difficult time, along with all team members impacted by this tragic event.
We are all here to support each other so please reach out if you need anything at all.
Chris Mamarelis
