Wales Home News March 2020
Clark played the piano for us. This year’s country was Zimbabwe. A snack of punch and cornbread was served after the presentation. There were bunny visits on the afternoon of the 11th for residents on Manning/shaw 1 and 2.
At the beginning of the month there were numerous other musical activities offered on our CHSLD units thanks to community volunteers. We would like to thank all of the volunteers who help us in numerous ways. Your time and support of our activities is much appreciated.
Mid-month due to protocols put in place to reduce the chances of residents coming into contact with COVID-19, the Wales Home and CHSLD were closed to visitors and several activities had to be cancelled or postponed. However, this did not stop Wales Home personnel from doing everything that they could to make the month special for our residents. Facetiming and Skyping was implemented for our residents to be able to see their families. Employees and residents dressed up for St. Patrick’s Day to spread the cheer.
Instead of a monthly birthday tea, Carol Ann personally delivered a drink and a cupcake to each resident who celebrated their birthday in March. Each floor has also had activities planned for them so that there were less residents in each space at a time. Some of these activities included trivia, teas, colouring and bingo.
Welcome to Therese Lebrun and Rose-alma Paquette. Our sympathies are extended to the family and friends of Rita Duesterhoeft, Wilma Ross, Wayne Mills, Priscilla King, Muriel Wilson and Jeane Corey.

The Wales Home would like to wish you health and safety as we continue to monitor the news of COVID-19 across Quebec and Canada. Rest assured that we are doing everything we can to keep our residents and employees safe and to provide our residents with individual and unit activities. Details are posted on Facebook and communicated to families frequently.
