🎂 Birthday cake, flowers, fun and laughter – some of our Hawthorn residents held an afternoon tea to celebrate a resident birthday, special teacups added extra smiles 😊
The staff at Hawthorn today have been delivered some goodies to enjoy on their break – a token of appreciation from CHT, our staff have really “gone the extra mile” for the residents and their colleagues. 🌟
Residents are being entertained with individual visits, time in the sunshine, craft and activity packs and calls to family members.
We’re keeping our residents busy and everyone is doing well. CHT are proud of the efforts of our staff - coping well with the demands of wearing full PPE and extra workload pressures due to some staff having to be furloughed.
Last week mobile testing clinics were set up at both Snug and Hawthorn, overflow into the surrounding streets announced to locals what was happening and we even had a few members of the public jump in line in the hope of getting a test!
CHT has organized a delivery to Hawthorn Village resident’s individual packs of puzzles, colouring and games, along with a selection of some craft materials and jigsaws.
Keeping our Residents happy and safe is our priority.
Our staff are doing an amazing job, thanks Team CHT.
👏 CHT are so thankful for our terrific team - enjoy your break today!
In these challenging times when we have staff furloughed we have had so many offers from staff prepared to do extra shifts, extending shifts along with offers from our volunteers, our Board, and our members to assist in any way they can.
We are humbled by these offers, our residents are lucky to have you.
THANKYOU 💟
CHT staff, residents and families have been very supportive and have shown what a Community can do when working together when challenged.
CHT has organised for our Snug Village residents to be provided with some extra craft, puzzles and reading materials which we hope will brighten their days a little.
