Hello, from Martha

Hello everyone,

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful week!

First of all, I just want to say a big THANK YOU to all families for assisting us with the requirements to limit visitors to 2 per resident per day and keeping with the current guidelines of visiting your loved ones in their room to comply with the latest directions provided by NSW Health.

I’m excited to share that we have had three new Registered Nurses join our team here at Whiddon Moree! Neha, Jiah and Princess have each settled into the team really well, and we’re glad to have them join our family. If you see them around, do say hello.

We have organised an event for NAIDOC week which will be held today, Friday the 9th of July. We have also had our regular activities take place with our residents with the exception of church and our usual sing-a-long.

As normal, my door is always open and I do encourage you to reach out if you wish to discuss any matters relating to your loved one’s care.

Have a very safe weekend!

Thanks,
Martha Rowe

Hello, from Martha

Hello everyone,

Wow, what a week! This week has been very interesting for our community with the recent Victorian travelers coming through our town.  I would like to thank all our wonderful families, friends and visitors for following our guidelines and wearing face masks when visiting our care home. Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve been up to:

  • Our residents were involved in various activities such as bingo, skittles, sing-a-long
  • We had happy hour on Thursday which is becoming an activity our residents really enjoy
  • Team members from our Sydney Head Office were visiting over the last 10 days, assisting our care staff with training and documentation which is very much welcome
  • There are two new Registered Nurses commencing on the 15th of June. We’re very excited to welcome them to the Whiddon Moree family

We also have a BBQ lunch planned for employees, residents and families on the 16th of June at 12 noon.  One of our employees and two residents will be shaving their hair off in a bid to raise money for a beautiful staff member who is currently battling cancer.  You are all welcome to attend the event.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks,
Martha Rowe
