Mum is overall very happy here. She tells me often how kind everyone is, how she has made friends and that there is always something to do. The atmosphere is warm ad friendly when I visit. I love the light and airiness of the building, which is the home of many I sometimes wonder though, if an annual review with family member might be useful, to make sure we are on the same page so to speak, to keep lines of communication open and effective and to better work together.
Thank you for your feedback, Margaret. Reviews are undertaken every six months, and we encourage you to raise your concerns with staff at any time.
Mrs Margaret (Marg) Wagner is a firm believer that you reap what you sow. A former registered nurse at Resthaven Leabrook, Marg is now a resident at Resthaven Mitcham and says that she is enjoying the culture of care and dignity that she helped to nurture as a worker for the aged care provider.
‘Love, care, support – a happy home,’ Marg says. ‘These are the things that people want – and Resthaven has all of that.’
Aged between 73 and 96, members of Resthaven Mitcham’s ‘Knit & Natter’ and ‘Hobbies & Craft’ groups have been working together to support others in need. Combining their knitting and craft skills, the group members have made 12 blankets. The residents each knitted squares, which were then joined together to make the blankets.
According to Resthaven Mitcham resident Mr Dudley Cockington, you have to climb the tallest mountains to get the best views. And Dudley would know, having walked thousands of kilometres across Australia and the world.
An avid walker, Dudley’s rucksack would often be on his back, filled with sandwiches for lunch, a thermos of tea, plenty of water, plus a spare pair of socks.
