WHEELS IN MOTION
Person in Wheelchair

June 13th was declared a celebration for “Wheels in Motion” at Ambleside Park. Residents at Inglewood were invited to participate in the fundraiser event and help raise awareness for the need to help the disabled access the community’s parks and recreation facilities. The hope was it would be a family affair, with family assisting
residents by pushing wheelchairs on the walk.

Alison Martin, from the Lower Terrace, states “ I was fortune my son and his wife both came along with me and were also able to travel in the bus with the other wheel chair occupants.” In all, three residents and their families joined with Jan, our physiotherapist and Donna, our recreation therapist, at Ambleside Park to participate. After registering at the booth, they donned their caps and set off along the seawall.

The group arranged to meet back at the starting point, where they gathered at a picnic table under a shade tree. A picnic lunch, kindly provided by the Inglewood kitchen staff was consumed with zest.

At the end of a very successful but challenging day, the team returned to
Inglewood in good spirits. As Alison muses “ one good thing that day – it didn’t rain as we had feared it might”

By: Alison Martin, Room 136 Lower Terrace.

…..Share the Garden
 

 

gardenWe need your help. Not only are you welcome to walk amongst and enjoy the garden but please feel free to help out by doing the odd job that needs doing; e.g. pulling weeks or deadheading spent flowers. There are tools, gardening gloves, etc. in our new garden shed for everyone to use.
 

Family & Community Advisory Board Alert
The Family/Community Advisory Board requests your help!

On the morning of August 6th the first rotation of new care aides will be taking over from the present staff. Since we don’t know as yet how many or the original staff will be returning –we need family embers to help make this transition as stress-free as possible for our families.

You can help by joining our family support team who will (in pairs) take 1-2 hour visits at each shift change (3 in all). “Simply be there” -to help if needed –to support if needed –to welcome new faces .

We would like to do this for at least the first week on new staff arrival : August 6-13th –in each area of the facility –Lodge, Manor and Terraces….just to get the new staff off on the right foot and to introduce yourselves to the newest members of the Inglewood Family.

If you have loved ones in any of these locations, PLEASE CALL ME—and let us get together to make this major change over a good one!

For more information, call Alice Hutchison Cell # 604.306.7230 or at home at 604.926.3671

I thank you in advance for all those residents that have no one to speak on their behalf.
