Waihi Lifecare Aged Care Facility

Happy Matariki ✨️ here's some activities we've done this week and we planted a new tree 🌳

Uh um....excuse me Mr Simba or shall I say Mr King.....sharing the Facility Managers lunch are we???

Simba you never fail to amuse us! 🤣

Today's van trip was to the Waihi Museum. Lots to learn and discover. We love supporting local 💜

When your Kitchen Manager/Cook has to suddenly go home sick you have to pull out the big guns!! A big thank you to these three wonderful ladies; June and Hayley (for putting on another hat for the day!!) & of course Riley! You ladies rock and I'm sure lunch will be delicious 🥰

We are getting ready to celebrate pink ribbon day this Thursday. We have had such fun creating this pink themed display 🩷

Hmmmm not sure if this is being helpful or not 🤔 suppose what else do you do when all you want to do is go outside. Not too long now Simba 🤗

Today our residents were introduced to a 'tone steel drum' which sounds like a wind chime. Our residents quite enjoyed this new 'toy' 🥰 And of course a game of Quoits is always fun on a rainy day!

Wednesday afternoons are for playing a game of 500😊

Bea having cuddles with Simba this morning! He is doing so well on his road to recovery 😼

Did you know yesterday was International Nurses Day as well as Mothers Day? Our wonderful residents made some beautiful art work last week to commemorate this special day! A big thank you to our RN's we really appreciate all you do for us! 🥰

Our residents had so much fun playing table soccer this morning accompanied by a sing-a-long! A great start to the week!

Our 2nd ladies lunch to the Waihi Beach RSA was successful and thoroughly enjoyed. We all look forward to the next one.

Fuzzy & Cocoa

Huge shout out to Jane at Diamond Sands Pony Experiences and Pip at Beach Vets for bringing in 2 very cute furry visitors today, Cocoa & Fuzzy. We loved them and they bought us so much joy! Can't wait to see you guys again next time!

A mother or not we all mean something to someone in our lives so to honour mothers day we took the first lot of ladies out to the beach RSA for lunch. Next trip is next week 🩷

Today our residents traveled via armchairs to Scotland

Pet therapy and music bring so much joy to our Mondays!
