believe it is already the end of January!
The refurbishment at Ascott Gardens is progressing well. Thank you again to
the residents, staff and families for
your co-operation throughout this
process. Our date for completion is
now looking like early May 2018.
The “Ascott Shop” is coming to life and
quickly filling with lots of tempting
goodies. If there are items you would
like to see stocked in the shop please
let us know.
Prunus Lodge is certainly looking a picture.
Despite the very hot weather the front garden
remains a colourful and welcoming area to
enjoy. Well done Kathy and the team!!
As many of you would know Leila (Retirement
Village and Admissions coordinator) has reduced
her hours to part-time.
Leila works Monday – Wednesday.
Amanda Berrington is currently training in Leila’s
position and she will be able to assist you when
Leila is not available (Thursday and Fridays)
As always Nic (Central West Administration) is also at the end of the phone to
assist. Nic organises all the maintenance and all general enquiries.
Natalie (Central West Accountant) is available to assist with any finance
(the Maintenance Team)
will be visiting All Retirement Village
resident’s, to conduct the annual internal and
external safety checks. We will contact you to
make appointments prior to these visits.
We would love to receive any articles, photos etc. you may like to contribute
to the Newsletter.
Just email Nic at Nicb@centralwest.upa.org.au or drop into the office.
Take care
Growing up so fast...

Each morning, when the sun shines onto the glass front doors, the
wording of our five UPA values shines through onto the carpet, one under
the other. I love that! It’s like a rainbow – a reminder of what is important
to all of us at UPA.
A FEW MORE LOVELY FINISHING TOUCHES
You are most welcome to come and
see Ascott’s new improvements, with
new furniture & ornaments and
creative touches creating a lot of
‘ooohs & aaaahs!’ Janelle, Catriona,
Julie & Val have also worked together
to create a beautiful shop display. Our
residents are able to wander around
the displays throughout each day at
their leisure, to see what is available.
Customers are always welcome too!
MAGNOLIA COTTAGE
We are drawing closer & closer to completion of Magnolia Cottage.
Hopefully by mid-February we’ll be able to move our Magnolia
Cottage residents back Into their own special, newly renovated
rooms. I will let residents and their families know the exact
dates when they are known.
Then it will be ‘full steam ahead’ for the work on Camellia Cottage
& the new Day Centre.
DINING ROOM AREA EXTENSIONS
Because we will be having more residents after the end of March, we are
building program hasn’t been easy for our residents,
our families or our staff…. However it will be worthwhile.
POPPY & CEDAR
Late last year we welcomed Jenny Stephens to the position
of Poppy & Cedar Cottages supervisor, working alongside
staff, residents and their families. Jenny is well known to
many of our residents and their families whom she has
worked with in the hospital & health care systems as an RN,
prior to her joining our ‘A’ Team staff. Jenny also runs a
support group for folk living with dementia and their Carers.
If anyone wishes to join the friendship, support group, I’m
sure that Jenny would be really pleased to give you the details.
It’s always lovely to see residents enjoying freshly picked tomatoes and
garden produce, or patting the chickens. Some of our newly picked carrots
have personalities of their own, qualifying for inclusion in the ‘odd bunch’
section of a supermarket.
Residents are also enjoying Summer BBQ’s in the garden, when the
weather is fine.
ACCREDITATION VISIT
The Accreditation audit results are back – and yes – everything went well.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to speak with the Auditors.
They were impressed!
They were also able to give feedback throughout the visit – on their
findings. Well done everyone!
WE ARE SO BLESSED…..
To have such a wonderful team of caring staff.
To have families and friends who visit and really become involved in the
lives of their relative and also in Ascott family life.
retiring this year – and, whilst it is so hard for both of us to be saying
farewell, we look forward to the future, both for ourselves, our families and
also for our Ascott Gardens family too… (and Narelle & I will always be part
of UPA and our Ascott family).
And please don’t think that this change means that our Ascott family is
becoming smaller – it’s actually going to be growing, with new staff to bring
their own special talents into their role. Soon we will have 78 residents and
their families joining us, along with extra staff & someone who will guide
the growth. It’s going to be great!
Narelle will be with us until the end of March and
then she plans to have a long holiday prior to
retiring in July this year. Narelle has always
been a loving & caring heart of Ascott – and
she has given 28 years of loyal service to UPA in
the Central West. Well done Narelle!
I will still be working here until mid-July, so I am with you for a while yet.
People often ask what I will do when I retire - at the moment I’m thinking
that I would enjoy volunteering to help with children’s’ reading groups or
perhaps helping older folk who are learning English as their second
language…and putting my teaching experience back to work!
Summer: ‘Summertime is always the best of what might be.’
Until next time - God bless.
Thank you

A Valentine Prayer
I said a Valentine prayer for you
and asked the Lord above
to fill your heart and bless your soul
With the precious gift of love.
I asked Him for sincere love
The kind that's meant to stay
Just like the generous love
You give to those you touch each day.
I prayed for love from family
And from every cherished friend
Then I asked the Lord to give you
festive season. We are now back in full swing with our activities and outings. Our residents have been enjoying watching the tennis so we have incorporated our own competition called Seated tennis. This has been a real hit with our resident and a great team building activity. We have so many talented people at Ascott that we have started a craft afternoon. Every Monday afternoon we get together and do a different project. With the Orange show fast approaching we will working towards displaying some of our amazing arts and crafts. Out and about is still an outing that the residents thoroughly enjoy. In February we are heading out to Cargo for morning tea with the Presbyterian church group. We are still working very hard with our physiotherapist doing exercise 5 days a week. We have noticed the difference in the residents fitness level and flexibility. Future theme days we are looking forward to celebrating are Valentine’s day, St Patricks Day and International day of Happiness. Residents and staff will celebrate these special days with dressing up and lots of laughter, fun and giggles. We are looking forward to keeping you updated and our residents busy in the next few months.
Prunus Lodge has been very busy over the past couple of months with
Christmas, bringing in the New Year and our upcoming Australia Day
celebrations.
We would like to take the time to remind all residents with the warmer weather
we have been experiencing to try and keep as cool as possible and to use
proper protection such as sunscreen and hats if you are heading outside in the
sun. Please also ensure that you are well hydrated.
Though the year has only just begun
Prunus Lodge residents have already
enjoyed a variety of activities including a
Golf Tournament at a fellow Aged Care
Facility and a live concert in Rose Cottage –
special thanks to the band ‘None but Ned’
for donating their time and entertaining
our residents all afternoon. These kinds of
activities keep our residents interactive and
positive and it is something that they all
thoroughly enjoy.
Prunus has recently welcomed two new family members – two pet budgies!
These budgies are for all our residents to enjoy. They bring great joy to our
residents and staff, lots of our residents used to have birds as pets - so it is a
reminder for them about their
childhood, which instantly brings
a smile to their faces.
We are currently having a
competition where our staff and
residents can choose two namesfriends. We would also like to welcome our new staff and thank our previous staff for their hard work and dedication – you will be missed. A big thank you to our volunteers, as I have observed them visiting our residents and chatting to them in the lounge room over the Christmas period. This is appreciated as some of our residents do not have regular family visiting due to distance. Kind Regards Kathryn Farlow Care Manager
Year. December for us was very busy and very festive. We celebrated the
Resident Christmas Party which was an absolute success. Everyone seemed to
thoroughly enjoy themselves and Santa popped in for a quick visit. I would just
like to take this opportunity to thank all of the local businesses of Molong who
donated to our Christmas raffle and to our very own Sue Ecclestone for putting
her time and effort into our raffles by asking and collecting from these
businesses.
Resident Christmas
Our residents also went looking Party
at Christmas lights a few days
before Christmas and were
astounded as to how much
effort the residents of Molong
go to, to prepare such exquisite
lights and decorations. A few
days later, we held a volunteer
Christmas party to give thanks
to our helpers and show our
appreciation for all their efforts
in 2017.
The wonderful CWA ladies and some of their children joined us for a morning
tea at which they presented us with a new iPod and a portable music speaker for
us to have and use here at our facility. We
CWA Morning tea
were very thankful for our new technology
additions and cannot wait to get it all up
and running.congratulate our PC worker Cally Oxenham on the birth
of her beautiful baby girl ‘Wensday Anne’ who was born
on Christmas day 2017. Our residents have enjoyed
seeing Wensday around our facility in the last couple of
weeks and she has done
nothing but bring joy and
smiles to our residents.
We wish you all the best
Cally with beautiful
Wensday.
Do it for Dolly
Sad news broke the nation down in mid-January with
the death of a rural girl named Dolly. All staff at
Prunus Lodge joined in the campaign ‘Do it for Dolly’
by wearing blue ribbons to show support for these
tragic events.
I would also like to introduce our 2 new members to our team! Yes we have 2
new baby budgies. Our residents enjoyed our visiting birds so much that our
Care Manager Kathy has approved 2 more animals to join our family. Our
budgie cage has been kindly donated and so were our budgies. Names for our 2
budgies are still in the works and residents will win a prize if they come up with
a winner.
Well that’s about all from me for this newsletter. I
hope everyone had a fun filled and safe Australia Day.
Until next time,

Luke 21:30 Farewell - Sadly, due to ill health, we have said farewell to Hazel Allen a
much loved and committed volunteer. Hazel was
the Cut’N’Curl hair salon assistant who gave many
hours every Wednesday and in the process
endeared herself to the residents. Hazel also
assisted the Activity Officer with the residents’ Cafe
83. We wish Hazel a much better year health wise
and if her circumstances improve we will welcome
her back when the opportunity arrives.
Thank You - We take this opportunity to thank Olwyn Ashton who has filled
the void helping each week in the Salon. Olwyn already gives a great deal of
time to provide activities for the residents of Poppy and Cedar Cottages and
her help in the Salon is an extension of that program.
Welcome - We are pleased to welcome two new
volunteers:
>Di Sherwood now takes up the position of
assisting with Cafe 83 and takes on a role in her own
right to that of being our bus driver’s wife!! Both
Wayne & Di are what we term our ‘valued volunteers’.
>Dulcie McLean joins us each month and lends
her lovely voice to our singing group at each Praise
Service conducted in Cedar Cottage.
Together Our sincere thanks to both Di and Dulcie - we are
grateful that you have joined our Team’.

Do come into our shop Ma’am – It’s worth your while to stop Ma’am,
Our shop is overflowing and our stuffs in great demand.
Our prices here will please: Oh Sir! We wouldn’t tease you:
You’ve never seen such bargains and they’re mostly second hand.
We’ve ladies’ hats and laces – Blue jeans and firemen’s braces,
A splendid set of dentures that is worth its weight in gold:
Some jazzy skirts and blouses – And keys to lock your houses,
Six jars of pickled onions that are begging to be sold.
Yes Madam, we’ve men’s slippers and pants for little nippers,
Oh, don’t trip on those work boots or you’ll fall upon your face!
We’ve plastic iguanas – a bowl of waxed bananas;
The price they ask for real ones is a positive disgrace.
We’ve stacks of working clothes, Sir, a dressing gown that’s silk Sir,
Two very stylish dress-shirts and some iridescent ties;
A box of paper roses – two dolls with missing noses,
Sunglasses guaranteed to keep the sun out of your eyes.
So browse around, don’t worry – We.re never in a hurry;
Amongst the cups and saucers you will find some silver spoons.
We’ve racks and racks of dresses, a curling iron for tresses,
Warm bootees for the babies and some purple pantaloons.
The dollars meant for spending, though spending’s never-ending,
Shop at our crazy prices and we’ll serve you with a smile.
Reward us for our labour and prove you “love thy neighbour”;
The milk of human kindness will be never out of style.

person that we care for has the right to live in peace with dignity,
respect and security. That right does not diminish, irrespective of age.
