“Oh, What a beautiful morning!” from Oklahoma rang out in the lounges of Silver Oaks Lodge and our Support Centre units. HSFA Assisted Living and Frail Care residents enjoyed the polished performances Tish and Denise and their uplifting voices! Songs in the line-up included favourites from The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, Oklahoma! West Side Story, and more! A quote from one of the residents Olive Bowman summed it up; “They were out of this world. I wish I could reach the notes that they get so effortlessly. The songs all take me back many years. Thank you for the whole performance which was unforgettable!” Thank you to Denise Rogers and Tish Morgan as well as Tina Lotz (MC) and Johan Davidson (Audio/tech).
April is Global Volunteer month reminding us to recognise the volunteers that spread happiness through their unselfish kindness in the world. Thank you to our wonderful HSFA volunteer team that support the HSFA with their efforts in the charity shop, kiosk, gardens, art classes, reading, talk groups and so much more!

The 11 April is World Parkinson’s Day. We all enjoyed a visit from Lizl Gruneberg from Dance for Parkinson’s SA who lead us on a ‘trip of memories’ though stories, sounds and movement all choreographed to our music favourites. Movement filled our limbs as her words created of our own memories that flooded our minds. There were moments of laughter and some happy tears as we did visualisation – we were reminded of past holidays / hiking, to baking in our mums’ kitchens from when we were kids. One resident aged 87 remembered and commented “I remember the taste of my mums Orange Cake – yum.” Residents from HSFA’s Frail Care units our Assisted Living units all said how they enjoyed the sessions! Thank you Lizl. #WorldParkinsonsDay #Memories #elderlyactivities https://danceforparkinsons.org.za/
