LASAQ CONFERENCE We are always looking for ways to improve how we provide the services that we offer and trying to help as many of our community as we can to be safe, happy and active in the comfort of their own homes during their later years. So this year, nine of us, including voluntary Board and staff, went to the LASAQ conference on the Gold Coast. We learnt about marketing, legal matters, new technologies available, improving our services to our clients, the types of services and suggestions on what the future holds for our industry. We have been invigorated and look forward to expanding our 26 years of experience as we continue to improve our high quality care. Last month we are proud to have provided 458 clients with 3,907 hours to enrich their lives.
SAD GOODBYES We thank Tracy Burton for all that she has achieved with us and wish her and fiancé Tom the best of luck with their move to Canada. The past three years have been filled with laughter, amazing baked goods, exceptional organisation and awe at the dressmaking, cooking and snacking skills. We miss you already, Tracy!

Last month’s winner Merle Simpson named our activities group “The Jubilee Wanderers” and won an outing out with the Wanderers to the Harrisville “Royal Hotel” for lunch. Here is Merle with her certificate and bag of goodies. Thank you for such an amazing name Merle!
DO YOU WANT TO LIVE INDEPENDENTLY FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE? Australians now have one of the world’s longest life expectancies at 82 years of age! Here are 7 tips for independence and falls risk reduction by Monique King, founder of the Stay Standing Program. 1. Stay positive. 2. Stay active. 3. Stay safe at home and away. 4. Stay clear sighted. 5. Stay sure footed. 6. Keep your bones strong. 7. Manage your medications.
“There is so much to learn. I feel more confident with my walking now, even my daughter commented on it when we were out recently.” - Pat Colbran, 83, Stay Standing Graduate.
These are the foundations to falls risk reduction and are covered in depth in the national quality accreditation by the Australian government results driven program: Stay Standing.
We have been running the Stay Standing Program for 3 years 4 times a year. We are proud to have enriched the lives of so many in our community. If you think the Stay Standing Program can help you or your loved one, call Sandy on 07 3871 3220 or email admin@jccagedcare.org.au
Meet Michaela, our amazing Golden Yogi instructor! She wants to share the yoga experience with everyone and that includes you! Join her from Tuesday 17th May in her Kenmore sanctuary to discover a gentle chair yoga that will leave you relaxed and with renewed energy for the week ahead. Michaela specialises in rehabilitation using yoga, a practice that is speculated to date as far back as the sixth and fifth centuries BCE. Michaela believes that everyone can benefit from yoga and often practices with her Facebook savvy Grandma! Is this something you’ve always fancied trying? Now is your chance! Some private health insurance policies cover this activity so get in before the end of the finanical year. We invite you to book with Vicki on 07 3871 3220 or to email admin@jccagedcare.org.au ARE YOU READY FOR FLU SEASON? Influenza (Flu) is a viral infection that transmits through coughing, sneezing or by direct contact with respiratory secretions. There are two main reasons for getting a yearly flu vaccine: 1. Flu viruses are frequently changing and vaccines may be updates from one season to the next to protect against the most recent and commone circulating strains. 2. A person’s immune protection from the influenza vaccination declines over time. Speak to your GP to find out more and get ready for winter. FANCY COMING SHOPPING WITH US? Treat yourself to some retail therapy, a good chin wag and some coffee and cake on the first Tuesday of every month. Leave the driving to us!

(Left to right) The Wanderers enjoying fish n chips, Gwen, Gloria and Bev enjoying wine tasting and Patricia licked her plate lunch was so good! “I just wanted to let you know how much mum enjoyed morning melodies the other day. With her condition, she was naturally quite tired after her energetic dancing, but interestingly was more articulate than she has been for weeks in telling me about it. I was really quite amazed at how good her language and recount of the event was after all the social interaction and conversation. The stimulation is so good for the brain.” ~ Christine, client’s daughter.
