AUBURN MERE TIMES March 2014 March 2014 would love to read your reviews. Please let me know if you would like your room redecorated at some point as I will make a list of tasks for the summer, also as we have rooms available at the home it’s a good time to move out for a few days so that the work can be done. I am happy to make any residents and families an appointment with me before I go on maternity leave. It would just me a chance to catch up and review together. Give me a call and we can book a time, I’m onsite Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. I can also pop in on Sundays if this helps people that are busy during the week. Myself and Barbara have started a dementia pathway qualification, it’s so interesting, there is so much to learn! Lea has invited all families and friends to a gathering to discuss activities. Please see Leas part of the newsletter for details. The Auburn Mere Friends group for people that have someone with dementia in the family or a close friend will start this month. On Monday 24th from 2.30pm-4pm. Please call me to confirm if you wish to attend. We do have rooms available at the home so if you know anyone looking please send them in our direction. Dear All, The sun is shining in Watford today!!! I need to make some requests, updates and information: Please make sure we have the email address of the person that pays your monthly bills if possible. This is a request from our accounts department, you can email them to renu@jsai.co.uk Please make sure you also email Niamh Olohan in the office at admin@jsai.co.uk if you would like the newsletter emailed to any other family and friends that would like to hear what’s going on at the home. Please like us on Facebook and ask your contacts if they can like us too. It’s a nice way to stay up to date and you should only see photographs of the residents that have signed consent forms to say they are happy for their imaged to be shared. Many Thanks Please complete the surveys that are sent to you, we really need your feedback and so does CQC.

Love those spring flowers, it’s so lovely during our flower arranging sessions that we can see the changes through the seasons having fresh flowers in and around the house does seem to bring pleasure to all. I will be trying out a bigger challenge to all our budding flower arrangers ( excuse the pun ) I thought baskets , lets fill baskets of flowers for spring time which leads me to a request if anyone has any little wicker baskets stashed in cupboards etc that we could use that would be much appreciated.
