Christmas is all around us...

We have been very busy with many Christmas activities since the beginning of December.

Firstly, we had the Christmas Tree Competition on all the wards.  The staff and the residents worked together to decorate their trees.  This was a pleasant change to our normal activities and everybody waited in anticipation to hear who is going to be the winners.  In the end, Lakeside took first prize, with Riverlodge 3 in second place. Thanks to all the staff and residents for their efforts which resulted in lovingly decorated Christmas trees in all the lounges.


Joy Mowatt and caregiver Ntombi Maphisa working together on their Christmas tree that won 1st prize.


Maude Davidson, a Cedar Park resident made Christmas tags to go with the gift that each resident receives on Christmas Day.  This year the gifts are going to be extra special because of her hard work. 


Thank you Maude :)

We have been doing Christmas quizzes, word searches and fun facts, we have made Christmas cards for family members, a home made Advent Calender is helping us to count down the days.  We sing carols every day.  

Important dates to remember:

Carols at RSCC:    13 December at 17h30 (we meet in front of the chapel)
Christmas Lunch:    19 December at 12h00 in the Elphin Main Dining Room

It is lovely to see all the family members and friends who visit over this festive season and the joy it brings to the resident's hearts...
