A look back at August, where residents got into the Olympic spirit, baked some delicious winter treats, showed off their bingo and snooker skills, and we celebrated all staff for Aged Care Employee Day.

Saying goodbye to winter

Bingo & snooker

Randwick residents showed off their snooker skills with some drinks to wrap up the month, and Russian residents at Hunters Hill enjoyed their regular game of bingo run by Russian-speaking members of the team – a great way to socialise, have fun, and exercise memory skills.

Aged Care Employee Appreciation Day

On August 7th we said #ThanksforCaring to all Montefiore staff and celebrated Aged Care Employee Day.
