Magic moments in our home
We have two residents who like to come and join me in the office for a chat. One resident likes to rearrange the shelves to her liking while she has coffee with me. Another resident sits and enjoys the quiet space. He chats to me quietly as I do my work. He notices the photos of my children and dogs that are on the wall and we often talk about them. These visits are lovely parts of our daily routine.

Greetings from Larry, Christina and the Millvale House Waikanae team
Welcome to our first newsletter of 2025!
We have tried to make the most of fine weather by doing some activities outside in the shaded areas. Over summer, our residents really enjoyed bird watching, picking flowers, doing puzzles outside and just sitting in the sun. The new air conditioning has kept us all cool and comfortable during those very hot days. Our inside activities have included manicures, massages, reading magazines and playing games.
We have enjoyed hosting our entertainers, with our residents recently enjoying live singing and a drum circle.
For those of you who came to our Christmas gathering, thank you for taking the time out of your day to come and celebrate this special time of year. It was lovely to see you all and to meet some new people. The food was a big hit too!
In December we welcomed two new part time staff. Margaret joined us as a Caregiver and you may have already met her on your visits to our home. We also welcomed Mika into our Home Assistant team. We are very pleased to have both Margaret and Mika on board.
