Welcome to Ridgeview
Look long and hard at people who live lovingly. Notice how beautifully they age. Notice how relevant their wealth or status is. Notice how much other people want to be in their presence. Notice how they smile. nnn

Hello to all! As our summer draws to an end, I am sure we are all looking forward to a reprieve from the heat and humidity. It certainly has been a warm one. My first message to you all was back in December 2014 when I had only been in the role for 2 months. I am now about to enter my sixth month as your manager. It has been a challenging and eventful journey so far. The audit form the Australian Aged Care Quality Agency had occurred and I advised that it was a successful audit. It has now been confirmed that Ridgeview has been awarded a full three years Accreditation. I wish to thank all of the staff who worked diligently and with great pride. It is a wonderful achievement for you all. However, the work only now begins. You will have started to notice the commencement of improvements within the home. Through the positive and creative feedback we receive, this allows us to plan and to continually review what we do. Thank you to all who have assisted us in our Continuous Improvement process. Please continue to provide us with the constructive feedback. Suggestion Improvement forms are located throughout the home and at reception. These can be handed to reception or placed in the secure box on the door of the office in the foyer. contd over page
