Get your sunshine quota. Your body needs Vitamin D to help it absorb calcium. Vitamin D can be found in oily fish, cereals, egg yolks. The body also makes Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. (A few minutes each day). Be Active. Bones get stronger when you use them. A great way to strengthen them is with weight bearing exercise including some daily walks! ASSISTANCE PLEASE! Families and Residents Representatives - we need your assistance! We need your assistance to spring clean (clothing) in wardrobes and drawers. Although new clothing is often added, old clothes no longer worn are left in the wardrobe. This is becoming an occupational health and safety issue for our staff who are at risk of shoulder injury by having to squeeze laundered clothing in to drawers and wardrobes. Please help to de-clutter as an abundance of clothing can also be confusing for residents. PLEASE BE AWARE Dementia Focussed Quiet Hour Over the past two months we have been working towards creating the ideal meal time environment for our residents in House 3 and 4. We have found that introducing a focus hour we have decreased distractions and improved food intake. We would like to encourage families to support us in keeping House 3 and 4 as quiet as possible between 11.45am and 12.45pm. Limit visits during this hour Avoid chit chat Keep movements to a minimum Families who assist their loved one to eat are still encouraged to continue to do this.
