February 2012 bentley park resident newsletter Across My Desk CEO’s Report
to a changing nature of Aged Care and the arrival of the Baby Boomers into our retirement living market. 3. People – we must have the right calibre of committed people, that are appropriately trained and skilled to ensure we deliver on the abovementioned strategies.
Waminda Facelift Another year bites the dust and we now focus our attention to 2012. I trust that all of you had a great festive season, and like me have had a good rest and are full of enthusiasm and excitement about 2012 and what this will bring to SwanCare Group. All of you know that during 2011, as an organisation, we worked extremely hard to lay down strong and sustainable foundations that I believe will set us up for a very bright, secure and successful long term future. Therefore, it is for this reason I am very positive about 2012, and beyond, and feel that these will be great years for all of those who are part of the wonderful SwanCare Group Community.
Our Three Key Pillars for Success To kick the year off, I would like to remind our residents of the three key platforms that the Board has identified as our major strategic initiatives, and which will be the focus of our efforts and hard-work for the next 5 years as we set about to deliver on the goals and objectives of the 2012 -2016 Strategic Plan. 1. Sustainability – we want to ensure that SwanCare Group has appropriate and sufficient resources (dollars, infrastructure and people) to meet all of its future demands and service requirements. 2. Services – we need to ensure that our models of service delivery are flexible, adaptable, contemporary and able to meet the (discerning) client demands as we look

One of the immediate action plans that has been put in place to improve our infrastructure is the make-over to the Waminda foyer. For those residents that happen to visit Waminda from time to time you will have noticed a frenetic band of builders busily working to improve the front of house appearance to this building. Waminda is a wonderful care facility, it provides excellent quality low level care in a very friendly, cosy and comfortable environment. It is important that we maintain this look and feel, and it is for this reason that we wanted to provide a lift to the front of house. As they say, first impressions are all important, and we felt that over time the front entry foyer area and reception was starting to look a bit tired and losing that initial appeal factor. The makeover should be completed by the end of February, early March, and once completed would encourage residents to pay a visit, and perhaps partake of a coffee and cake at Rita’s retreat which is located on the Waminda ground floor, adjacent to the main lounge area.
What’s been happening since our last Tidings ….. Whilst on the theme of the New Year, I would like to just cover-off on some developments, and activities that have occurred since I last had to opportunity to write to you. For starters, one of the most significant achievements to occur was the attainment of our $20,000 target for raising monies to acquire our new SwanMobile. To be exact
Bentley Park Social Club Auditorium Concert - Sunday 12th Feb
our total amount raised was $20,400 and on this basis we have been able to order our new vehicle and I am pleased to say that it will be on site during February, and after a small commissioning period we are confident that the “new wheels will be turning” in an official capacity by March. I would like to offer my sincerest congratulations to all persons and community groups, particularly the Swan Village Social Club and Opportunity Shop for the amazing effort in helping to raise this amount of money in such a relatively short time period. It just goes to show the amount of unified community spirit that we have at SwanCare Group, and achievements such as this provide further evidence of just how lucky we are to have residents that exhibit such passion and commitment. I mentioned the Swan Village Social Club above, and on the 31st December, they officially held their last function with what I am told was a wonderful New Year’s Eve shindig. As of the 1st January a new committee of willing and enthusiastic volunteers have now taken up the important mantle of running the social activities and opportunity shop. The new committee will operate as the Bentley Park Social Club and I am lead to believe have hit the ground running and have arranged for their first function to be an Australia Day BBQ which has been met with enthusiastic support from our village residents. I would like to offer my best wishes to the new committee, and wish them great success. By now most residents will know who the new committee consists of, but just in case you have missed the announcements, I would like to remind you again, and reiterate the thanks and appreciation to the following dedicated residents.
Your Bentley Park Social Club President - Shirley Barnes Vice President/Secretary - Nancy Brazier Treasurer - Elizabeth Kroll Opportunity Shop Manager - Beryl Luckman Committee Members - Betty Briggs, Dave Newlan, Mary Manning and Allan Manning. Continued Page 3

CEO’s Report
Bentley Park News
And finally some other quick snippets …. • On the 13th December, Australind Rise residents celebrated their first official function with a Xmas Party and cordially invited some 20 residents from Bentley Park to join in the festivities. This was a wonderful event and marked the first official joining of the two villages, and represented a significant milestone for SwanCare Group with the linking of these two communities. This year, we hope to do the same united function, only this time will be looking forward to including residents from The Space@Carlisle as well. • During December, SwanCare Group was fortunate to be selected to be recipients of 6 pieces of excellent art-work from the private collection of large accountancy firm KPMG. The art works, are all exceptional pieces, and are from well-know Australian artists. They will eventually adorn the newly cladded walls that are part of the Waminda facelift.
Bentley Park - Rowethorpe The delegates of Neighbourhood Watch would like to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year. Unfortunately over the holiday period there were several break ins including our shop. Rowethorpe, I heard had 15 break ins. The Residents Council invited the police to give a talk on home security. Most people who attended learned something about securing their homes. The CEO, Graham Francis, said that Wilson’s were employing some new staff who were still getting used to our requirements. Please take note of all the points that the police suggested at the Residents Council meeting. Also do not hesitate to call our security if you see anything suspicious. The number is 6250 0020.
• Over the last few months two diligent a dedicated volunteers in Bob Devereux and Tini Kampen have been working extremely hard to reinvigorate the SwanCare Group Archive Unit. For those residents that are not aware, this archive display is located on the ground floor of Richard Cleaver Lodge, and contains an inordinate amount of stunning information relating to the earlier SwanCare Group years, it is really worth a look sometime. I would encourage residents that are interested in our history to pop over and have a cuppa with Bob and Tini, they would love to share the efforts of their hard work. The Archive Unit is open by arrangement and you can call Bob on 9361 5144 to arrange for an appointment.
If anyone would like to borrow our inscriber for marking their valuables please ring me on 6250 0510.
• Just a quick reminder to all residents that we are keeping the $1,000.00 sales incentive award going. This means that if you provide us with the name of a contact, and this contact ends up purchasing an independent living unit at any of our sites, Bentley, Australind or Carlisle, then you will receive $1,000.00 as your reward. For full details please contact your General Manager of Retirement Living, Natalie Hodi on 6250 0044.

Bentley Park Show 2012
Maintenance Duties As requested at the November VRAC Coffee Meeting, below is a list of the duties our maintenance team are employed to perform: • General handyman duties • Setting up and packing down equipment for resident functions and activities • Hanging pictures • Minor patching and painting • Liaising with contractors to facilitate repairs and maintenance tasks • Put out/bring in bins • Provide general assistance to tradespeople • Removal of fixtures and fittings as directed • Other duties as required Our maintenance staff are required to move items as directed by management and staff are provided with the correct equipment and training to carry out all tasks required of them. Regarding moving residents personal items, maintenance staff have been asked not to undertake this, due to a number of reasons. Firstly when residents leave the village they and their families often leave furniture behind to donate to the Op Shop. In a lot of cases this furniture is old, unclean and totally unsuitable for resale and has been left as people do not want to make their own arrangements to remove it. SwanCare Group then is left with the removal and disposal of such items. Secondly, by spending their time moving personal items our staff are not concentrating on their core duties – providing maintenance services for the village. Lastly, we often have requests to move the same piece of furniture for the same resident numerous times in a small space of time. This is obviously not what our staff are employed to do and again means they are taken away from their actual duties. I believe that some residents feel they were promised a porter service from our maintenance staff when they entered the village. While we would like to be able to provide such a service, it is not feasible to do so and would require SwanCare Group to employ additional staff, which in turn would raise resident fees. However if there is an urgent requirement for assistance please contact Mike Sullivan on 6250 0066 to discuss.
It’s on again! The 7th Bentley Park Show will be held on Friday & Saturday 27th & 28th October 2012.
Natalie Hodi, General Manager Retirement Living
Entries for the Show are open to all residents and staff of the Village. To all our new residents copies of last year’s schedule are available as a guide until the 2012 schedule comes out in July.

Retired at Last
Battery Recycling
We will be giving them our support, starting by attending the planned Australia Day function, and we encourage others to do likewise.
Having fully retired from our work of events organising on December 31st we thought it only proper to sign off with a final piece in Tidings.
We now have a facility in the village for the recycling of used and/or unwanted batteries. Just about all kinds of batteries, except car batteries, can be recycled through our collection points. This includes single use and rechargeable batteries.
We take this opportunity to record our thanks to the many Villagers who telephoned and sent letters, cards and gifts of appreciation for the enjoyment and fellowship we have given them over the years. After the great “wrap up” and gifts presented to us by CEO Graham Francis at last December’s Volunteer function these gestures added to the satisfaction we had in providing entertainment and other services for our community.
•
C and D sized batteries
•
Button batteries (e.g. from hearing aids and watches)
•
9V batteries
•
6V batteries (e.g. lantern/torch batteries)
The batteries will be taken from our collection points to bulk recycling repositories at The Park Centre or Belmont Forum.
Footnote We will still be continuing with one function in 2012, we were asked and agreed to organise and host the traditional 1st Friday of the month Stratton Luncheon and Concert.
In January we handed over for the new committee all documentation and a handsome balance of funds in hand to enable them to take up the reins and get down to organising their programme for the year.
AA and AAA cells
Collection boxes are located in the laundries at Phillips Close, Pugh Place, Lindsay Rise and Wootliff Way. Also by the notice boards in Mavis Cleaver Court, Richard Cleaver Lodge, Drummond Way Apartments, Plantation Drive Apartments and the Administration building.
Sincerely, Peter and Shirley Brunt
Our last two events, Christmas Show and Carols and New Year’s Eve Party were both well attended and enjoyable, as usual we received many plaudits from patrons.
•
The first of these will be on Friday February 3rd. Those wishing to attend should ring Shirley on 9355 4767.
Batteries will damage the environment if they are disposed of through normal rubbish collection services, so please help us to keep the Earth clean for future generations.

Archives To a lot of you that word conjures up in your mind a dingy, dusty, place of old papers and documents. But not here! In “Bentley Park” we are fortunate to have a bright, airy and pleasant unit at Richard Cleaver Lodge in which to come with a few of our friends and enjoy a couple of hours reminiscing over days that have gone and even enjoy a cuppa while you are doing it. In the Archives we have literally hundreds of photos and no doubt a lot of you will be amongst them, we also have just about a complete set of Newsletters as they started out being called in the early days to what we now know as “Tidings”. Also, of course, there are the paper clippings and documents of events that have occurred over the fifty years of our existence. We have endeavoured to put all the papers and documents onto an Excel spreadsheet on the computer in the Archive Unit so as to be able to find them when needed. I am quite sure you will be pleasantly surprised on a visit to your Archives so why not add it to your list of things to do in 2012? The Archive Unit is situated in Unit G1 of Richard Cleaver Lodge so it is quite central. Just give me a call on 9361 5144 and I will arrange to meet you there. Should I not be at home please leave your name and number and I will get back to you and make a time to show you through? Thank you, Bob Devereux Ph: 9361 5144
The Space@Carlisle Open Day The new units at Carlisle will be open Thursday 17th November at 10am and 2pm for Bentley Park residents to view.

Residents Advisory Council - Brian Dale NOTES FROM VRAC COFFEE MEETING 17TH JANUARY 2012 (106 PEOPLE) Our first meeting of the year, with a near recent-record crowd in attendance, was highlighted by a presentation by CEO Graham Francis followed by Crime Prevention advice from the Police. Graham outlined the broad vision of Board and Management for the next five years. He also talked about some of the more immediate plans and activities and mentioned that the new SwanMobile has been ordered and will be delivered and commissioned soon.
Thank you Lorraine Pittaway
Bentley Park Social Club The new Committee welcomes you all to the events that will be programmed during 2012, and hopes that you will support us, and enjoy them.
A policy-change, prompted by the VRAC, was acknowledged and announced by Graham relating to the cost of servicing resident funded air-conditioning units. In future SwanCare will be responsible for these costs.
Our first event was, of course, the Australia Day celebrations at the new BBQ area near the Stratton Centre and we hope that you did indeed enjoy the old fashioned Sausage Sizzle with Pavlova, as well as the Flag ceremony and entertainment. The number of participants was outstanding and we thank you all for attending.
Following this the Police spokesman then gave a most entertaining and informative address on the measures that residents should follow to maximise their security and safety.
The next major event will be held for St Patrick’s Day on Saturday March 17th. More information will be circulated very shortly.
A booklet “Safety Advice for Seniors” was distributed, with some extra copies available from Administration. The scheduled Guest Speaker at the February meeting is Kym Werner, SwanCare Hospitality Services Manager. Please feel free to contact any member of the Council on any Village issue of concern or appreciation. Brian Dale, Chairman, ph 6250 0538 Carolyn Wellstead, Vice Chair, ph 6250 0505 Cath Devereaux, ph 6250 0407 Ken Sinclair, ph 9361 0131 Shirley Barnes, ph 6250 0558 Tom Brazier, ph 6250 0496 We meet on the third Tuesday of every month (except December) at 9.30 am in the Auditorium. At the conclusion coffee/ tea and biscuits are served. All Village and Care Centre Residents are invited to attend and participate in the meeting.

WA Bush Poets & Yarnspinners Association The WA Bush Poets & Yarnspinners Association is a non – profit organisation whose aims include: • To preserve and promote our Australian Literary Heritage through Story Telling and the Rhyming Poetry of the style generally referred to as “Bush Poetry” and made famous by Banjo Paterson, Henry Lawson and others of that era, along with many poets who have followed in their footsteps. • To encourage and promote writers and performers who are following these traditions. • To have regular public performances of mixed traditional and contemporary Australian Rhyming and Story Telling. We hold public performances (Musters) on the first Friday of each ODD Month at the SwanCare Group Retirement Village Auditorium, 26 Plantation Drive Bentley.
Resident Support Services DEAR RESIDENTS, DO YOU SUFFER WITH ANGINA PAIN? Do you use a spray under your tongue, when you have chest pain? HAVE YOU CHECKED THE EXPIRY DATE RECENTLY? Turn the little red bottle upside down and on its bottom there is a date. If it has expired, it is not helping your pain, please renew it. Maxene & Leasa, Resident Support Services
As the Committee has only been operating since mid-December, as yet, the full annual program has not been scheduled, however, we are planning to continue with the Sunday Concerts. The February Concert will be held on the afternoon of the 12th and it is planned that future concerts will be held on the 2nd Sunday of each alternate month. There will be a mix of artists during that time and you will be advised well in advance of the details. It is intended that there will be other events from time to time and those details will also be circulated as soon as possible. The Committee would also like to express its thanks for the sterling efforts of the past Committees, for the enjoyment they brought to residents and the funds that were raised and donated to various good causes within the village. Their hard work is greatly appreciated and we trust they will support our future efforts. Shirley Barnes, President

There is a 3 course meal for $14.20 (at the time of booking could be a small increase before we arrive). There is also many other things on the menu.

Theatre Go-ers Club
Tickets were open for sale on Monday 30th January but there could be some available. It is an advantage to be on the mailing list as the dates do not always coincide with the Tidings.
Our first outing this year is to the Garrick Theatre at Guildford to see the Mystery/Drama “Who Knows” on Friday 17th February 2012.
Tickets $20.00 each includes Sherry/Port on arrival, tea & coffee at interval. Also the bus pick up & return.
It’s the eve of the annual Dr Who convention and the President of the Club has disappeared. His friends and committee members try to find him, a very large birthday present arrives. An old friend has an eye on taking over the club and what follows is an evil plot to reclaim fame and fortune.
Our next outing is on Friday 13th April to see “Rookery Nook” at Marloo Theatre at Greenmount. A great line up of plays are planned for this year. Further information in the next Tidings.
Will the fan club find a new President? “Who Knows”.

Community Noticeboard Bentley Park Recipe Book I suggested in December’s ‘Tidings’ that a recipe book made up of villagers’ contributions would make a good community project. Little has come of that notice and I am asking again for support. I am appealing for favourite family recipes be collated like the old CWA/ Golden Wattle cook books, with each recipe/ contribution being acknowledged.
