IN OUR HOMES
Jolly hockey sticks Clarence Estate Residential & Home Care CLARENCE ESTATE residents in Albany certainly like to keep active. Staff arrange a range of active games throughout the month to keep residents engaged and having fun, and one of the games that has proven very popular lately is chair hockey. As you can see, the residents use shortened pool noodles as ‘hockey sticks’ and a soft ball, competing in teams. It creates much laughter and brings out the competitive side in many residents. Inbetween hockey sessions, they tend to play pass ball, passing balls up and down the line within our teams and try to be the quickest team to gain points.

ome lucky residents in our Alcheringa Hostel up in Gosford, NSW, had a ready, set, go good time recently, challenging each other to a race or two. Staff and residents had some fun setting up this amazing racing car track that is housed in Aubrey Downer Aged Care Home’s large living room. Everyone was invited along to come and have some good old-fashioned racing game competitions. A big thanks to resident Russell who very kindly arranged for his personal track to be brought in for everyone to enjoy.
