Cheryl with Support Worker Nancy Calderone and Sister Marie-Therese Building community connections and developing positive, healthy and respectful relationships is at the heart of what we do at Calvary. However we do recognise that feelings of social isolation can be a significant challenge for many people, especially as they grow older or face ill health. If you are worried about a loved one or may be feeling a little disconnected yourself, please let us know. We can suggest local resources and have a range of community access and social programs services that can assist. Relationships matter and I trust you will enjoy some of the special relationships showcased in this edition. Enjoy!

After twenty-two years Support Worker Andrea is a firm fixture in the Green’s family life. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has been an evolving part of the Darren and Christine’s family life for over two decades. Together they have modified their home to be more accessible and developed new relationships as Darren’s support needs have gradually increased. For twenty two years one of those key relationships has been with Calvary Support Worker Andrea. ”She’s one in a billion” says Darren ”Andrea is so thoughtful and does whatever she can to make the time she is here mean something”. 6
Andrea was the one who encouraged Christine and Darren to get into the community. ”She gave us courage to go out in the wheelchair” says Christine, ”it was a big step and she made it so much easier”. The admiration and respect is mutual. Darren is ”a constant source of inspiration” for Andrea and always ”shows so much compassion for others”. ”I have respect for the fact that we are not together this much by choice” acknowledges Darren, ”but Andrea makes a difference to peoples lives - its the truth.”

Joan and Joe, aged 87 and 90 reside in Calvary’s St Paul’s Retirement Community in Cundletown, north of Taree. Since meeting each other in 1960, this couple have enjoyed a loving and caring relationship and regularly exchange cheeky banter, and laugh at one another’s jokes.
Love at first sight can last a lifetime
It was a case of love at first sight when they met at a church club. Joan admits that she “knew straight away when we first met that I’d like to know more about him. I then found out how kind he was and we just seemed to get on so well. We married 12 months later and here we are”. “Ah well, if you’ve got the right one you just know”, says Joe.
Simple weddings make memorable occasions
Joan and Joe’s wedding was a quiet celebration at home. A dressmaker by trade Joan made “everything”. 8
Life Lessons
ToandLove Be Loved “I made my wedding dress, the bridesmaid’s dress and my mother’s dress” Joan explains. “My dress was spotted nylon and quite plain. It had short sleeves. Didn’t have a train or anything like that. My sister, who was my bridesmaid, had the same material in dusty pink. It was very nice”. Two children and five grandchildren later, Joan still sews for her family. “Sewing is my hobby, I love it and have my sewing machine here at St Paul’s”
A life shared is a life lived
“It just builds and builds until it gets to the stage you just seem to be one. You seem to think the same, as one”. “We seem so much alike, we... like home life and he’s so kind”. Joe added, “She looks after me”.
It is all about give and take
“The secret is just to love each other and give and take. Nothing is perfect. You can’t have it all one way,” Joan said.
Continuing the Mission of the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary
Joan and Joe have loved each other for a lifetime. After 55 years of marriage their dedication and care for one another is still growing.

Perfect for all ages, abilities and fitness levels this is a game that takes minutes to learn but much longer to master. Improve your coordination and fitness through light lunging and bending. Great for community connections, many clubs also run a more social barefoot bowls event for beginners and casual players.
With a focus on accuracy, precision and rhythm it is a gentle game that can be played enjoyed by all ages. Finska
Italian Bocce and French Petanque
This outdoor log throwing game from Scandinavia has taken Australia by storm. Great in the backyard, in the park or at a picnic, the aim of the game is to score exactly 50 points by knocking over the numbered logs strategically and skillfully.
Popular in Europe, these games both involve throwing balls towards a mark, whilst also knocking out the balls of your competitors.

Health & Well Being DON’T FALL FOR IT!
Falls Prevention Checklist for at Home
A person’s risk of falling can be minimised by making a few simple changes around the home.
Install sturdy handrails on both sides of stairs
Many factors can contribute to a person’s risk of falling including:
Keep your home free of clutter. Be aware of tripping hazards; animals, small rugs, uneven flooring and unsecured bedding
• Poor eyesight, hearing, mobility, balance and strength • Dehydration, confusion or dementia • Poor footwear
Place a slip-proof mat in the tub
• Loss of bladder and bowel control
Keep phone and electrical cords out of any pathway
• Fainting, dizziness or sudden drop in blood pressure
Use a personal alarm or fall detector (See page 10)
• Certain medications • Mats, cords, clutter, uneven paths and poor lighting
Install good lighting and use night-lights throughout your home Install handrails in bathtub and toilet areas
How can I stay safe? Be proactive and prevent the risk of falls:
1
Get your vision and hearing checked regularly
2
Keep active - go for a walk each day
3
Drink plenty of water and eat nutritious meals
4
See a continence adviser if you are having trouble getting to the toilet on time or have some concern when you cough, sneeze or stand up
5 6
Walkers, canes, and other assistive devices, should be kept in good condition and used at all times rather than using furniture or walls for balance
Wear good footwear Don’t stand up too quickly if you get dizzy. Sit on the side of the bed or in a chair for 5-10 minutes before you stand
7
Maintain healthy bones with 10 minutes of sunlight a day
8
Discuss your medications with your doctor and pharmacist including what you buy over the counter.
Wipe up any spills immediately.
Calvary has a range of monitored alarms and fall detectors available.
Call 1300 66 00 22, visit the Calvary Smart Home at 551 Blackburn Road, Mount Waverley or see our website.
Preventing Falls at Calvary At Calvary we believe fall prevention is everyone’s business. All Calvary hospitals screen patients for risk of falling, and develop plans to help reduce the risk of having a fall whilst in hospital. We also operate Falls Prevention Clinics in some Calvary hospitals. Calvary Community Care staff are trained to identify fall risks in the home environment and the Calvary Smart Home showcases a range of devices that can be easily installed to reduce the risk of falls. In line with our commitment to providing a safe, quality service Calvary recognises ”April Falls Day” which kicks-off an entire month devoted to raising awareness of preventing falls and harm from falls amongst our patients, residents, clients, staff and the general public.

Get Connected HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS
Routines such as evening dinners, regular card games and attending sporting games are simple but effective ways to tune in and attend to your relationships.
“Connection, communication and curiosity sustain relationships”, according to Psychologist Sue Pratt from LifeWorks Relationship Counselling and Education Services www.lifeworks.com.au “Be curious about what matters most to those around you - their dreams passions and hopes” advises Sue, “listening, enquiring and doing things together regularly so they become your rituals are great ways to stay connected and celebrate the uniqueness of your relationship”.
At the same time Sue highlights that change is a feature of all long-term relationships and whilst challenging, needs to be accepted and managed. Relocations, retirement, changing health and new family dynamics are all examples of common relationship stressors. During these natural periods of transition, it is important to recognise the impact of the change, self reflect and “turn towards each other”.
The old adage of ‘never letting the sun set on an argument’ resonates with Sue. She advocates constant communication, empathy and a “culture of appreciation”.
“Conflict is normal” says Sue, “however the way we manage,
Tip #2 Family
Tip #1 Partners Value each other, do things together and build a culture of appreciation for ones you care about.
resolve and repair those encounters is critical for our relationships”.
Be curious about what matters most to those around you.
It is important to turn towards each other.
Develop regular rituals and keep communication channels open so you can manage ages and stages together.
Tip #3 Support Workers and Carers Be mindful that some relationships are there for a particular purpose. Be clear about expectations and recognise the professional boundaries within the relationship of trust, safety and respect.
Values in Action COMMUNITY, CULTURE AND COUNTRY
Daisy is a Support Worker in Calvary’s flexible residential aged care facility Malakunya in the Tiwi Islands. Surprisingly, a well resolved conflict can have a positive impact on relationships. In Sue’s experience as a counsellor, she has seen that “taking the time to understand and respect each others perspective can build trust and a deeper connection”.
Tip #4 Support is available
“It is never too late to learn, model and enjoy good relationship skills says Sue, “as our brains are constantly developing new pathways and will adapt and re-sculpt in response to interactions with those around us”.
Relationship Education Programs assist with relationship skills and development.
Conflict is normal, however the way we manage, resolve and repair those encounters is critical for our relationships.
Relationship Counsellors can work with individuals or couples to discuss and discover relationship themes such as repair, trust, safety and respect.
Mediation provides a neutral party who can help families and couples with complex decision making and planning relating to guardianship, inheritance and power of attorney.
“Daisy has achieved something no other Tiwi Island woman has done” Located seventy kilometres north of Darwin, Bathurst Island is home to many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Kinship, family and country is very important in Tiwi culture and Daisy’s dedicated care and commitment ensures that residents stay connected with their community and culture. Daisy was recently recognised for a decade of service with Calvary. Local resident Sister Anne honoured Daisy’s achievement acknowledging that ten years of
consecutive employment on Bathurst Island represents a significant milestone for the remote community. According to Sister Anne, Daisy has achieved something no other Tiwi Island woman has done and is a role model and leader within the community. Epitomising the values of hospitality and healing, Daisy is leading the way for more local people to work at Malakunya and ensures that it is a warm and welcoming space.

Grand Pacific Drive (NSW) begins in the Royal National Park and then heads south along the coast. It’s a roller-coaster ride through rainforests and past seaside villages that follows a strip of pretty coastline. A highlight is Sea Cliff Bridge, an engineering marvel that swerves out from the cliffs over the ocean. There is so much to unearth along the Northern Territory Discovery Trail (NT). National parks are abundant and reveal the likes of waterfalls, gorges, waterholes and caves. The Discovery Trail is a journey strewn with attractions and begins in Katherine and ends in Alice Springs. Fleurieu Peninsula Route (SA) is home to some of Australia’s finest beaches. It’s also a region of world-class wineries, gourmet food and a vibrant art community. This superb trip begins and ends in South Australia’s capital city, Adelaide.
HERITAGE HIGHWAY
5
Contact Calvary to discuss your next road trip.
The Great Ocean Road (VIC) is one of Australia’s most famous roads. It takes travellers past world-class surfing breaks, through pockets of rainforest and calm seaside towns. It shows off sheer limestone cliffs, dairy farms and gets you up close with the crashing waves of the Southern Ocean.
The Heritage Highway (TAS) traces much of the original route between Launceston and Hobart. Drive through rolling farmlands, explore charming Georgian villages and savour the rich and colourful history of this state. Access the Heritage Highway from Hobart or Launceston.
Where do I start? According to Lauren Bourke the Community Archives Coordinator from Public Records Victoria, it is best to “begin with what you know”. Lauren suggests talking to relatives and writing down names and the dates of births, deaths and marriages as starting points. “Details such as the name of a ship or year and military service can also help flesh out the rest of the family tree” she explains. Record Searches
Researching your Family History What characters, tales and common traits lurk in your DNA? Do you have ancestors who were pirates, heros or scholars? How accurate are those family legends that have been passed through the generations? Genealogy, the study or investigation of ancestry and family histories, has become one of the fastest growing hobbies in the western world, almost as popular as gardening. Television shows such as “Who Do You Think You Are” have encouraged an interest in tracing family trees and 20
digital databases have made records far more accessible. In fact, family history is now the second most commonly searched category of websites online! If you are interested in discovering more about your heritage, read on….
Continuing the Mission of the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary
The digital revolution means that many records are now electronic and available online. You can access these and hard copy records via local, state and national libraries, Public Records Offices and the National Archives. Their reading rooms provide access to passenger lists, wills, property deeds, inquests, criminal justice, education, adoption records and more. Adding Narrative Once you have the biographical and biological facts in place, you can add narrative with other resources. In some cases you may not be able to specifically identify your ancestor, but you can paint a picture of their life and lifestyle with secondary documents such as social or city histories from the same place and time. Ship diaries, maps and manuscripts can also provide rich detail and descriptions.
Ingredients: • 1 cup of self raising imagination • Dates • Thyme (endless spoonsful) • Researchitus (diluted) • Sprinkles of ancestral curiosity • Pinch of opportunity
Making it Non-Boring Hazel Edwards, author of “Writing a Non Boring Family History” encourages family historians to structure their story in a logical and well organised fashion with “idea threads” to link the content. Hazel suggests the use of story techniques such as:
Publishing and Sharing your Story
• Intriguing title, cover and blurb
There are many different and creative ways to showcase and present your family history.
• Zest of reader-researcher
Depending on your intended audience, possible mediums include:
• Half a dozen embryonic ideas (egg shaped)
• A Quest – a journey to find a truth or goal
• Photo Book with captions, photographs, scanned records and a family tree
• Chronological order (but be careful not to just list dates)
• Podcast (audio) or video package including interviews with relatives
• Location and Geographical settings – (for example, “The Old Country, The Journey Out and The New Country)
• Patchwork Quilt
• Themes (eg. Entrepreneurship, Rebels, Black Sheep, Family Mottos, Religion, Politics, Mateship, Vocation or Genetic Inheritance)
• Self published novel or book of letters
• Online blog or website that can allow for comments
• Memorabilia (Sentimental items that evoke memories) 22
• Flakes of serendipity
Continuing the Mission of the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary
• Half a litre of language including mixed fruit of adjectives (use moderately) • Slurp of suspense, secrecy or drama • Dash of inspiration Method: Dash inspiration on all pages. Mix all data and especially dry ingredients in computerised container. Keep for an appropriate time. Heat emotions or ice-over disputes. For special occasions, decorate and display at reunion, anniversary or family gathering. Result: Historical readaholic or relative indigestion due to over much hot air.
Questions & Answers
Calvary Independant Living Units (ILUs) are located in the ACT, Sydney (Ryde) and in the Hunter Region, NSW.
INDEPENDENT LIVING UNITS (ILUS)
Q A
What is an Independent Living Unit (ILU)?
An ILU is a self contained apartment, villa or unit. Many ILUs also feature parking spaces, small gardens and 24 hour security monitoring systems. Grouped together, ILUs may be in stand alone villages or co-located with residential care facilities.
Q A
What are the benefits of an Independent Living Unit (ILU)?
ILUs offer space, privacy and autonomy without the demands of maintenance and upkeep. They also provide the opportunity for you to enjoy the lifestyle benefits of a community with people at a similar life stage.
24
Q A
How much does an ILU cost?
The cost of an ILU will vary according to size and location. As Calvary is a not-for-profit organisation we operate a loan and licence agreement. At the end of the agreement, the loan is refunded, minus the agreed management fee (usually 5% per year of occupation up until six years: 30%).
Q A
Are there ongoing fees and costs?

Continuing the Mission of the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary
Q A
Can I have visitors to my ILU?
Of course. You are free to come and go as you please and invite friends and family to visit whenever you choose. The ILU is your home.
Q A
What happens if my support needs increase while I am in my ILU?
Calvary Community Care provides a range of flexible services to support independent living such as transport, meal preparation and domestic assistance. If you find that you are no longer able to live independently, an application for assessment to move into one of the Calvary residential care facilities can be organised.
Meet ILU Resident: Father Kerry After 55 years as a priest working in parishes in the Archdiocese of Sydney, Monsignor Kerry Bayada now calls his ILU at Calvary Ryde Retirement Community home. Father Kerry, as he is affectionately known, describes his new surroundings as ”a very happy community”. He has planted ”some orchids, hydrangeas and petunias, to get a bit of colour around the place” and has immersed himself in the social, faith and community activities at Calvary Ryde. Calvary regularly hold ILU open house inspections. You can also arrange a private tour by calling 1800 222 000.
Fresh & Quick SUPER PORRIDGE - SERVES 4
Recipe by Maggie Beer
Did you know? This SUPER Porridge contains approximately 25% more energy and a third more fibre than regular porridge just cooked with milk. The benefits Chia seeds are a good source of fibre, protein and omega 3. The added coconut oil gives the dish an energy boost and the oats have a low glycaemic index, which means they provide a slow release of energy. Oats also contain a soluble fibre called beta-glucan which can help reduce cholesterol levels.
INGREDIENTS
METHOD
• 100g rolled oats • 20g chia seeds (if available) • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon • 1 tablespoon coconut oil • 500ml milk (soy, cows or nut)
In a medium size pot, place the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, coconut oil and milk.
Cook over gentle heat until the porridge boils and thickens, stir constantly.
• 1 large banana (1/4 per person) • Drizzle of honey • 1//4 cup ground or shaved macadamia nuts • A handful of berries
Divide between bowls, top with sliced banana rounds, a drizzle of honey and the shaved or ground macadamias. Sprinkle berries on top.
