March 2012 Staff and Resident News:

A Very Special Congratulations to Mr and Mrs McLean who celebrate 62 years of marriage on 25th March, we hope you enjoy your party!

We are all very excited: Aaron House and 10 other care homes within the neighbouring area have formed a choir, 'One Voice', and choir practice is well under way. 60 residents from these homes shall be performing in October and we cannot wait to look forward to the choir concert.

Family Support: We would like to thank Frances Hunter for her support in creating our family support group, commencing on 24th March, created to help families through the difficult transition period when relatives are moved into care. If you would like to discuss this group further please call Aaron House.

Baby News: We would like to extend our congratulations and welcome Nurse Hayley Little's new baby girl and Senior Carer Leah Bell new baby boy! We wish you both a happy restful time with your new babies and look forward to having you both back with the team soon!

New Team Member: We are very pleased to welcome Linda Early to our team as of February to help with activities over the weekends. Flower arranging and arts and crafts are a part of Linda's repertoire so we should see beautiful flower arrangements springing up around the home!

Our Garden: So far the transformation to our Garden is fantastic with slabbing, shrubs, borders, the erection of a garden shed and currently the window boxes being created for our residents we can only say thank you to the pupils of Beeslack High School who have taken on this gardening project as part of their curriculum for excellence.

Refurbishment: We are all very pleased with recent refurbishment and are so pleased with all positive responses from both families and residents:

"The painting and refurbishing of the living room, corridors ect. It does not look like a residential home for the elderly, more like a high quality hotel which is nice. The whole place looks fresh and lovely, very tasteful!"

We know our staff are all professional, friendly and caring, so we would like to share with you some fantastic feedback:

• "I did research on the internet, reading up on all the care commission Scotland reports regarding care homes in my area and this one was the best on paper. The added bonus is that the staff are friendly and welcoming"

"No real source-suggestions from social worker, but really by visiting about a dozen homes of various types. Anne Scott's attitude to dementia and the homes ability to cope with the diabetes and celiac disease and its cheerful ambience made me choose Aaron House"

 Well Done to Michelle Gray, our excellent activities co-ordinator, who achieved her NAPA Certificate!
