Happiest of birthday wishes go to Margaret, Shirley M, and Elsa.

The end of November has come about and our residents over the past month have enjoyed Bowling, Housie, PEARL exercises, singing, armchair travel to Morocco, line dancing, van rides, golf, and junk journaling.

Christmas decorations have gone up, and residents have been busy with crafts as well as making decorations. Some residents even helped decorate the trees and the activities team are busy with residents Christmas photos.

Our Gala is being held on Wednesday afternoon from 1pm and we would like to invite you all along. The residents have worked extremely hard to make an assortment of things to sell as well as there will be raffles.

Our internal sensory garden is putting a smile on everyone’s face thanks to Larissa, our gardener. Residents are enjoying sitting out there and one resident has set up her sun lounger so she can gather the “rays”.

Some of our residents have been attending the library and helping at the afterschool programme with either crafts or Lego fun.

Does anyone have any long term accommodation available at a reasonable rent for one of our lovely caregivers and her husband. Unfortunately, they have to get out of where they are currently renting. They are expecting a new baby soon and would love to be settled as soon as possible. Please contact Merril in the office 07865-9643 or office@moanahouse.nz

Happy birthday wishes go to the lovely Hilda Simmons who turns 108 tomorrow, but we celebrated her special day today, Friday. Hilda is the 5th oldest New Zealander.
Family, friends and residents joined together to wish Hilda, our semi-supercentenarian birthday greetings.

Today we remembered those residents who had passed away either at Moana House or from Willson Gardens over the past two years. A small memorial service was provided by Rosie and Linda and we had some families attend. Each person who had passed away over the past two years had their names read out and their name was added to our memory tree by family or staff. Feedback was very positive and we will hold this every year.

Happy birthday to Shirley and Faye who celebrated their birthday on the same day.

Melbourne Cup took place Tuesday 4th with best dressed, best fascinator and best “hobby horse” winner.

Friday 7th was Gumboot Friday (morning) and Diwali (afternoon) (a little bit later than the actual day due to staffing issues).

We would like to thank our wonderful Indian community for a fantastic display of dancing and entertainment, today, Friday. Afterwards, staff were treated to traditional food such as Masaka Idli, honey chilli cauliflower, potato samosa, Palak Pakora, Brean Pakora, Paani Puri, Thai Pandan layer dessert, Thai custard, Thai sticky rice with custard, Cocktail vege samosa, chicken cutlet, coconut milk custard, Ghee rice, chicken stew and sweet Kheer. How lucky were we😊

Gumboot Friday saw the residents competing with throwing gumboots. For those living with depression or suffering from mental health issues.
As mentioned in a previous FB post, Jack Pavich, who is our activities co-ordinator Sophia’s son, is walking the entire length of NZ from Cape Reinga to Bluff to raise funds and awareness for I Am Hope in support of Gumboot Friday and in support of those who struggle with mental health issues.
