Easter Monday Monday 2 April Anzac Day Wednesday 25 April

Vaughan’s message We are on the cusp of major change in our society as the baby boomer cohort moves from employment to retirement over the next two decades in increasing numbers.

well represented in our State’s volunteering opportunities but we need to do more to harness their wisdom, skills and knowledge, particularly in intergenerational programs with young people.

The demographic profile of our community, where we will have a relatively high number of older people and relatively low number of young people, is a new phenomenon that we have never experienced before.

Rather than thinking of older people as a drain on society we need to look upon them as a valuable resource and find ways to have them contribute to economic activity and strengthening our social fabric.

We have this country’s second youngest population but issues to be identified and tackled remain the same across our nation.

The baby boomer cohort, often thought of as the ‘me first’ generation, has by its own actions triggered major social and economic change at every stage in their life cycle. This behaviour is not likely to alter when they are older but we must make them part of the solution by harnessing their wisdom and creativity. This might include how we utilise new and emerging technologies to respond to a decline in productivity due to an ageing population.

For example, much of our built landscape is unfriendly to seniors and creates social isolation. The design of parks and gardens primarily focussed on the needs of children, shopping centres that are difficult to navigate and the presence of isolated, lonely suburbs are just some examples of the challenges ahead to create age friendly communities.

Many of our workplaces are similarly placed. With age discrimination rife in our community, a major shift in thinking is required to deal with the profound workforce shortages that lie ahead and to adjust our work environments to better meet the needs of older people.

And it’s not just workplaces.

Elderly people are already

We also live in a region where many countries have a demographic profile very different to our own. There is a great opportunity to harness our neighbours’ talent and energy through flexible immigration policies, use of working visas, and other immigration tools that respect all aspirations. With Australia’s positive multicultural history, we should be able to find

a way to make it work well, but need to apply our best minds to the task.

The received wisdom is that this ageing future will also result in extra pressure on our age pension and superannuation systems. However, significant numbers of the ‘boomers’ are asset rich and income poor. We need to come up with fair and just ways for people to pay their own way if they have the means to do so without creating an underclass that goes without.

Big challenges need big responses and it is within our competence to bring together key players in our society to work together and produce the best results for our citizens.

Failure to do so risks the emergence of a dysfunctional society where many miss out on the basics while a few have lavish material wealth, but no one is truly happy. A long way from the Australian ‘fair go’.

A reactive piecemeal approach will not produce the best results for our State. Thinking beyond the money will help create a preferred future that we can all be proud of.

Viva volunteers!

Every four months a dedicated group of hard working Juniper Volunteers gathers at Juniper Central for the big Viva Voce mail out. It’s a well-oiled machine as some diligently stuff envelopes, pack up boxes and apply mailing labels while others take charge of the stamping and counting – all with a smile! Our volunteers make a rather large job look easy and the Viva Voce editorial team very much appreciate their hard work each quarter.

Celebrating Juniper Volunteers December 5th is International Volunteer Day and each year the leadership team at Juniper takes this opportunity to thank our dedicated volunteers for their generous and important work. This time we celebrated at Fraser’s in King’s Park with a delicious morning tea.

Our volunteers are involved in all sorts of activities at Juniper, from spending quality time with our residents and home care clients, bus driving and assisting with therapy activities to administrative tasks and running cafes and shops in our aged care facilities.

Juniper Volunteer Coordinator Tim Law said the thank you event on International Volunteer Day each year is an opportunity for Juniper’s executive team and other staff members to meet and personally thank volunteers for their contribution to Juniper.

“It’s one of the ways we show volunteers that their work is noticed, valued and appreciated. Some of the wonderful programs we have at Juniper simply wouldn’t be possible without the help of volunteers,” he said.

Dulcie celebrates 105 years Juniper Hillcrest was a hive of activity on Tuesday the 30th of January when resident Dulcie Fawcett celebrated her 105th birthday.

The day began with a lovely morning tea where Dulcie was joined by many of her family members, fellow residents and staff. Dulcie had two cakes for the occasion; one prepared by the Hillcrest kitchen and another brought in by family. During the morning, staff from the office of Federal Member for Durack, Melissa Price arrived to present Dulcie with a bouquet of flowers and certificate to recognise her impressive milestone.

Born in South Australia and then moving to Western Australia when she was 14, Dulcie has lived in Arrino, Chapman Valley and Dongara. Her farmhouse in Arrino, (with walls originally made of hessian bags), had been abandoned for some time before she moved in with her husband Bert, who rebuilt the entire home over time.

Dulcie recalls that she and Bert lived without a refrigerator until their second child was born because back then, only those with two or more children were allowed to buy a kerosene fridge.

With three children, 12 grandchildren, nine great grandchildren and another one on the way, Dulcie was surrounded by loving family on her special birthday. She was even interviewed by local TV station GWN in the afternoon while she enjoyed a delicious Australia themed High Tea with residents and guests.

Dulcie says her secret to a long life is country living which has kept her young at heart and her general motto is to “keep things simple”.

Barbecue and bowls for Australia Day There’s nothing like the smell of a barbecue to draw a crowd! The Juniper Rowethorpe annual Australia Day celebration was another sizzling success with residents gathering for a sunset barbecue and a few games of lawn bowls.

Pastoral Care Reflection The residents at Juniper Riverslea have witnessed the birth of the new Perth Stadium.

Located across the river in Mt Lawley, the residence is home to 46 people, many of whom often gather in the main activities area, known as the ‘River Room’. This room has a magnificent view of the river and its surrounds to East Perth, Burswood, Belmont, Rivervale and Redcliffe.

So it was front row seats for those who eagerly watched the construction rise from the sand to form the new stadium. Each week when I visited, there were comments about how much progress had been made and the increasing number of cranes appearing. One resident told me he had observed nine cranes at work through the day as the structure grew.

Then the cranes began to disappear and finally it appeared that the outside of the building was finished. Not much happened for some time and then the residents reported the

... let’s take a moment to reflect on the joy and promise new life can bring. light shows that they enjoyed in the evening. One resident said he saw in lights a footballer run across the outside of the stadium, another the colours of all the AFL football teams being displayed.

Whilst the Riverslea residents have enjoyed observing the stadium come to life over the time of its construction, most of us now are wanting to experience the stadium and what it has to offer.

Pastoral and Spiritual Care Week: 26 February to 2 March 2018 This year’s theme was ‘Show Compassion, Bring Hope’ and staff were given the opportunity to do something tangible for others and provide gifts to those in need, across Australia and overseas through Uniting World and World Vision projects.

Many sites also shared in morning and afternoon teas to highlight Juniper’s Pastoral and Spiritual Care services.

Thank you to all who participated! Look out for photos of the celebrations in the next edition of Viva Voce.

The approaching Easter weekend gives us all an opportunity to celebrate new life as we remember the resurrection of Jesus after his death. In many cultures the egg is a symbol of new life and so as we enjoy eating our chocolate eggs or painting eggs for Easter decorations, let’s take a moment to reflect on the joy and promise new life can bring.

A green thumbs up for Shell On a warm day in November, a troop of 16 corporate volunteers from Shell arrived at Carramar Village to tackle the large job of mulching the individual gardens of 52 retirement units as well as the village’s communal gardens.

“This was the first time we have had corporate volunteers come to Carramar and we are so thankful to our Volunteer Coordinator Tim Law for his help in organising the event. They did a wonderful job with our gardens,” said Independent Living Coordinator Michelle Smith.

Residents came out of their homes to offer drinks and support and prepared a well-deserved barbecue lunch for the volunteers afterwards.

Following lunch, each of the volunteers teamed up with a resident for a game of carpet bowls.

“Our more experienced residents enjoyed coaching the younger volunteers on how to play carpet bowls – it was a wonderful intergenerational activity to round off a very productive day,” said Michelle.

Australia Day celebrations go wild!

It was all “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie” at Juniper Elimatta on the week of Australia Day with residents and staff enjoying a series of Australian themed activities.

There are few things more Australian than a good old “barbie” and on Tuesday everyone dined on a sizzling barbecue lunch followed by a very special visit from some native furry (and scaly) friends. The team from West Oz Wildlife hopped, slithered and crawled into Elimatta much to the delight of our residents who enjoyed a close encounter with Lunar the joey, Juddah the koala, Mya the bearded dragon and a number of safe and friendly snakes.

The Australia Day fun didn’t stop there with a Great Aussie Pub Quiz on Wednesday and a wonderful concert for residents, performed by the Waratah Singers on the Thursday.

West Coast Eagles land at Juniper Rowethorpe Juniper Rowethorpe residents flocked to the Sutton Centre to meet six of the West Coast Eagles team members who popped in for a chat, autograph signings and of course a photo or two.

The group also talked about preparing for the exciting new AFLX matches taking place in the lead up to this year’s season, plans for a West Coast Eagles Women’s team for 2020 and preparing to play at Perth Stadium for the first time.

Mark LeCras, Jack Redden, Malcolm Karpany, Mathew Allen, Jack Petruccelle, and former player and Indigenous Liaison Officer Phil Narkle, were greeted by clapping and cheering as they entered the room.

Some of the younger team members discussed what it was like to leave their homes and families in other States to play for the Eagles.

Enjoying the break from their rigorous training schedule, the boys each spoke about their experiences playing in the AFL and our residents were not afraid to hit them with the tough questions!

When asked if the umpires “make them sick” Mark LeCras replied: “Well I like the umpires a lot more than the Freo players!”

“It will take a bit of getting used to,” said LeCras.

“After eight years WA feels like home now. It can be hard sometimes but you learn to adapt,” shared Jack Redden who is originally from South Australia.

Following the presentation, residents had the opportunity to personally meet each of the players as they signed posters and happily posed for photographs.

The Eagles’ first game of the 2018 AFL season kicks off on Sunday 25th of March with a home game against Sydney Swans.

Hillcrest’s happy New Year Juniper Hillcrest Therapy Assistant Lee-Anne Robb, together with husband Steve, decided to spend their New Year’s Eve, celebrating with residents.

“We all saw in the New Year a little early as our revellers were off to bed just after 8pm!”

Tiny tech tykes a treat There were plenty of laughs and a few surprises when a gang of small robots visited Balcatta recently.

The plastic trio spent some time at Juniper St Andrew’s as part of a trial to see if the robots were a useful tool for our residents and OT staff.

The robots’ owner, Yvonne, said the little guys were programmable and danced and made movements in time with music to increase stimulation and interactions with people and support in-house occupational therapy activities.

The crowd warmed to the dancing robots and we all drew our breaths a couple of times as the ‘bots headed for the table’s edge and threatened to fall to the floor.

It was all ok in the end, back on their mark the plastic fantastics did their job on cue. Juniper is now evaluating their usefulness.

Be an inFLUencer - roll up your sleeve for flu season Juniper is encouraging all employees to be immunised against the influenza virus in 2018 and beyond.

Because the virus is constantly changing and people are not naturally immune, the vaccination is essential to combating this serious illness that kills hundreds and incapacitates thousands each year.

To help contain the spread of this disease, you can receive free influenza immunisations with Juniper in April and May this year.

Residential Executive Manager Dr Michael Preece encouraged all staff to participate.

“As a health care worker with Juniper you are at higher risk of getting the flu but you can help contain the spread of this disease by getting immunised - the best protection against the virus,” he said.

“By getting a flu shot you can be a positive inFLUencer in your workplace.”

New Medibank partnership a first Australia’s largest health insurer has chosen Juniper to deliver rehabilitation for people recovering from total knee joint or hip replacement surgery.

Our home care division will provide Medibank’s eligible clients with in-home services including physiotherapy, nursing, occupational therapy, meals, domestic assistance and personal care.

“This is an excellent opportunity for Juniper to continue to deliver its mission and care services to those in need and contribute to our reputation as a quality provider of home care and support services,” home care executive manager Ms Chris Oldfield said.

Chris said Juniper commenced delivering the program with post-operative clients receiving their first services from the organisation in January.

“We are very confident of our ability to meet Medibank’s and its clients’ needs and we look forward to continuing to deliver the best possible care to those in need so they may enjoy a good life,” she said.

Juniper’s experience in managing, coordinating and providing in-home care services and support made the organisation a natural fit for Medibank’s needs, Chris said.

“Clients accessing the In-Home Rehabilitation program may not have had any form of home care before and they can feel assured that these services will be professionally provided by fully trained care workers who put their clients’ needs first.”

Medibank’s own Registered Nurses will case manage and develop plans while a dedicated Juniper Client Care Advisor will coordinate service

System improvements for Home Care Juniper Community is improving service to clients and its connections to internal teams by adopting ‘next generation’ software.

Our team in Bentley has been working hard behind the scenes for the introduction of the new system, called Procura.

“For clients, their standard and continuity of care will be maintained and they will also experience the benefits of this change.

Executive Manager Chris Oldfield said by replacing ComCare we will be able to be more flexible and efficient and our clients will receive better service.

“Procura will improve and simplify many systems and it is very easy to use. All employees using the new software will receive training before we go live by mid-year.”

“There will be improvements to scheduling, budgeting and statements and for many employees this change will not greatly affect your daily work but others will experience significant improvements with the new system,” she said.

Stay well this Autumn Our Juniper Outreach and Wellness team share some of their tips on staying well this Autumn.

Don’t get slack on the slip, slop, slap!

March – 8

April – 6

May – 3

Preparing for flu season Autumn is a good time to build up your immune system before the dreaded flu season. Maintain a healthy diet, exercise, stay hydrated and manage your stress levels to strengthen your immune system. Washing your hands consistently (especially before eating), being cautious around unwell children and a flu vaccination are other good ways to protect yourself.

Eat seasonally Something just feels right about eating foods at the time of year that nature intended. There are many good reasons to eat produce that is in season; flavour, cost and nutritional value to name a few. Consider this guide of fruit and vegetables that are in season when planning your Autumn meals.

Welcome to Juniper A warm welcome to all new staff members who have joined Juniper in recent months in a wide variety of roles. We’d like to introduce a number of new recruits who are also key contacts for you within the Juniper team.

In addition to reporting to funding bodies, financial processing and payroll administration, Liana is also responsible for quality improvement, auditing, professional development and much more!

“I have felt welcome within the team from day one and I have very much appreciated the support of all my colleagues in the office,” she said.

“I am enthusiastic about creating and supporting systems that enable our staff to deliver great service to our clients.”

A major project Liana will be working on this year is managing Juniper Community’s changeover to a new software called Procura, replacing ComCare.

Liana was actually born in Transylvania, home to the legend of Count Dracula himself, and says it’s a very real and beautiful place in Romania.

Leisa Cooper Helping our staff to achieve continuous improvement for a safe work environment, Leisa has taken on the important role of Occupational Health and Safety Advisor for Juniper’s south metropolitan sites.

programs for new parents and youth in WA, VIC and NSW as well as nurse mentoring programs in developing overseas countries.

“I supported 36 sites covering approximately 225 staff members and I was heavily involved in developing the first OSH management system for this division. While we started with a five percent compliance rate, by the time I left we had just won the Worksafe WA Platinum Award – a huge achievement for all involved,” said Leisa.

Leisa was drawn to Juniper’s excellent reputation for high quality safety practices.

“I’m looking forward to being a part of the Juniper community and working alongside a team of fellow passionate OSH practitioners, while experiencing a new area of the health care industry,” she said.

Sheridan Read Sheridan, Juniper’s Dementia Specialist, has worked with people living with dementia for over 15 years and is passionate about ensuring that their quality of life is the best that it can be.

She brings a wealth of experience to Juniper having worked in residential aged care in Scotland and has held various roles at Alzheimer’s WA including working as a behaviour consultant for the Dementia Behaviour Management Advisory Service.

More recently she has worked for Curtin University and Harry Perkins Research Institute at Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital. Here at Juniper, her role as Dementia Specialist includes assisting all staff and helping them find new ways to better support our clients living with dementia.

Sheridan is very excited to take on this role and looks forward to slowly introducing new dementia paradigms.

“I believe the key to success and to really make a difference in the lives of people living with dementia is collaboration,” she said.

Tony Carter

Tony previously worked and lived in Northam during the late 1990s and is happy to be returning to the Wheatbelt.

As the new Residential Manager in Northam, Tony Carter is overseeing the operation of Juniper Bethavon, Juniper The Residency and Juniper Northam Cottage Homes.

“While working in the old hospital as a Theatre Nurse my partner and I also ran a local Fish and Chip shop which was very popular – and very easy to find with a big banana erected in front thanks to our Fruit and Veg shop neighbours,” he said.

With over 40 years of nursing experience, Tony comes to us with a varied and well-travelled background. He is particularly experienced in working in remote country areas, having worked throughout the Kimberley and Pilbara regions as well as his home town of Warrnambool. Throughout his career Tony has managed a large surgical unit, worked as a Theatre Nurse, Midwife, a Director of Nursing and a Care Manager – among his other roles!

Drawn to Juniper’s values and good reputation, Tony joined the team late last year and is very much enjoying the role.

“Everyone has been so helpful, warm and friendly and I have felt like part of the team from day one,” he said.

“I am looking forward to leading a cohesive team of dedicated workers in Northam, providing the best aged care services for the Northam community.”

Sari styling at Juniper Riverslea Juniper Riverslea residents and staff were treated to a unique cultural experience when Therapy Assistant Ganga Gundumogula, brought in some of her own saris and traditional jewellery to demonstrate how Indian women dress for special occasions.

Yes!

A traditional Indian costume worn by women and girls, wearing a sari correctly is quite an art. It involves draping, tucking and folding a long piece of cloth in just the right way to create a beautiful and elegant effect.

Pastoral and Spiritual Care Team Leader, Adrienne Inch was one of the models for the occasion.

“It was a fascinating experience to be dressed in six metres of

beautiful fabric and residents enjoyed seeing the process,” she said.

Once dressed, everyone was inspired to try some traditional Indian dancing.

“It was clear I was not a natural at the dancing but it was entertaining for everyone!” laughed Adrienne.
