AND THE OSCAR GOES TO………. It was Oscars night at the HSFA for Mountview Frailcare residents and WHAT a glamorous affair it was! The ladies and gents turned up in their finery in style, and after receiving their much deserved Oscar’s, were cheered on by their fans, families and the Paparazzi down the VIP red carpet, and whisked into a sparkling room of movie glitz and fame! The movie stars enjoyed a photo session, gourmet servings of food and delicious wine. Thanks goes to the delightful hosts of the day Actress Louisa and Actor Vuyani as well as fabulous Nabilah Ebrahim. Note faces are blurred out due to the POPI Act. All residents will receive their photos.
The HSFA is a firm believer in skills and capability development of our own staff and of future carers, in order to offer the best service to our residents and the elderly community. The HSFA and OASIS Training Centre – PTY Ltd have collaborated allowing their training centre students an opportunity to do the practical part of their course at the HSFA. OASIS students were placed at the HSFA to job-shadow our carers, as part of their 6-week practical training, during their 3-month course. These students were allocated shifts, and job-shadowed and learnt practical caring with our HSFA carers. As part of the practical training, they had to learn specific caring tasks, as per their curriculum, in order to graduate. We are proud to laud the hardworking students of the first program with us at their graduation, and now welcome a new set of students in the second!
Golf Days that support a worth cause is a win-win situation – a good way to support a charity and a great way to end a week! Some of the Exec team and Board of the HSFA played in a four-ball at the recent Helderberg Hospice Golf Day! Thank you Helderberg Hospice for a well-organised event and we were delighted to support with a water and drinks stand for the golfers. Watch this space for the next Golf Day in support of the HSFA (Helderberg Society For the Aged) on 7th Oct 2022.
What a way to get up and moving – doing our very own Olympic event activities at the HSFA! The residents of both Assisted Living Units Robari and Silver Oaks Lodge, both Frail Care units Mountview and Support Centre as well as the Independent Living Units Vonke and Swannack all participated in the challenges! Medals were awarded in select events like horse-shoe toss, boules, ringboard throw, treasure hunt, bingo, egg in lap race and relay! Well done to all the winners who stood proudly on the podium with their shiny medals! The menu of the day as served by Geratec included Greek Beef Kofta Kebab with Tzatziki, Greek Salad and delicious Galaktoboureko. Thank you to all the HSFA staff who went the extra mile to dress up like Greek Gods and Goddesses and make these events a great success. You are ALL champions in our eyes!
