1 Editor: Deb Dutton, CEO, The Windmill Rembrandt Court Issue February 2018 Home Care Hub 1 Madras Street, Oaklands Park SA Greenfields Drive, Green Fields SA 5107 Ph The weekly newsletter of Rembrandt Living Ph EDITORIAL Welcome to another issue of The Windmill. I trust families had a safe and happy holiday break and it is now back to business for some and back to school for others. This is an opportune time to remind motorists to slow down, stay alert and stay off of their mobile phones, especially in those areas where children and the elderly are present and please exercise extreme caution driving near school zones and aged care residential facilities!

The following was discussed: Residents believe that the thermostat in H7 is too close to a warm area such as, the kitchen and the elevator which is why the airconditioner is working harder and makes the dining room, very cold. Maintenance to investigate. Residents enjoying the menu although the chicken skewers today were a little dry. Other than that the hospitality services are very good.

Warrock has changed owners and after years of decline is in the process of restoration to its former glory. And what a good job Scott Farquharson is doing.
