“It’s a wrap!” For our Live, Love and Shine program here at The Ormsby and the Lifestyle Team and residents want to thank our artistic and creative facilitator’s for their wonderful work they do here at The Ormsby. Darren, of Catchy Music, comes in on Monday afternoons and Friday mornings and with his guitar, he sings along with our residents in their neighbourhood lounges, rooms and wherever he is required to use the magic of music to put a smile on someone’s face. Anna comes in with her basket of tricks and within moments of someone saying “I’m not artistic” she helps them produce a work of art bringing smiles back again. Anna also does her creative movement and within seconds a person moves a limb using muscles they thought they never had. Looking forward to another fun year ahead with Anna and Darren - glad to have you both on the Team!!!

The festive season can be a particularly overwhelming time for people with dementia and their carers – especially where family events are involved.
Bolton Clarke Senior Research Fellow Claudia Meyer says preparing yourself and your family can help make celebrations more enjoyable for everyone.

On this day in 1926 we opened Melbourne’s first after care home to provide transitional care for people of all ages after a hospital stay. MDNS President Jessie Henderson described the hospital as “a new expression of an old need”. Today, we’re still finding new ways to meet community needs, from our parenting, birth and baby telephone helpline to telehealth, home and community support and in our retirement villages and aged care homes.
