Today we had a visit from the fabulous team from ASB Bank (who are the proud partners of Hato Hone St John and the Caring Caller service) join us at Peacehaven to share in some Christmas cheer. They helped the residents make Christmas cards and remembrance tree cards and shared a wonderful home baked afternoon tea.
Thanks you Liz, Lisa and the team at ASB for a great afternoon.

Care home residents were getting in the festive spirit over the weekend as they went along to watch the Southland Santa Parade, an event that has something for everyone of all ages to enjoy. Some of our residents also joined in the parade, helping to tow the Presbyterian Support Southland bear float. It was awesome to have our Enliven Southland and Family Works families come together to support this wonderful community event.

It was a lovely day out for a group of Resthaven residents who visited Paterson’s garden at Greenvale, Waikaka last week. Paterson’s garden belongs to the family of one of our former residents and it is open to the public.
A big thank you to Sharon Paterson for showing the group around the garden.

Walmsley House residents Avis Milne and Nellie Adamson overseeing the Enliven Southland lifestyle team's final touches to our tree which is being entered in the Murihiku Christmas Tree Festival at ILT Stadium Southland. The decorations look fantastic, made all the more special because they were hand-crafted by our residents.
The festival opens on Monday 1 December, until 18 December. Go down and check it out. Don’t forget to vote for your favourite trees (i.e our tree). The top three trees, as chosen by the public, will have all proceeds donated to their selected charity.
We have chosen Presbyterian Support Southland.
