Wales Home News April 2021

Thank you for joining us again to see the highlights that took place in the Wales Home’s activity department. This month we enjoyed Easter decorations, which at the end of the month were replaced with décor for Mother’s Day. We also held our regular activities which include exercises, bingos, yoga, Friday treats, and movies and other programming on our internal television system.

This month’s birthday party was sponsored by the St. Augustine’s Church Women. Our activity department provided one-on-one visits and distributed the cards and gifts which we received. Happy birthday to everyone who celebrated.

Residents of Manning/shaw participated in a special Easter egg hunt on April 1st. Residents of the CHSLD enjoyed some piano music with Debbie Knowles this month. They also enjoyed disc toss, chair dancing, bowling, bocci balls and manicures.

We had a few theme days this month including Happy Shirt Day, Pyjama Day, and Hat Day.

For Earth Day, we held a special planting activity that will allow residents the chance to watch some seedlings grow.

Welcome to Pierre-yves Pepin, Harold Macdonald, and Armand Cyr.

Our sympathies are extended to the family and friends of Irene Horrocks, Sara Lebourveau, Pauline Daigneault, Joyce St-sauveur and Karen Taylor.

We’ll provide you with another update next month. In the meantime, we hope that you enjoy some sunshine and beautiful moments despite the pandemic. Next month all residents in the CHSLD and Residence will be receiving their second dose of the Covid-19 vaccination. Our vaccination campaign for our employees is also continuing.
