KINGIA FAMILY

SwanCare Kingia’s summer days in January were spent indulging in lots of delicious fruit treats, like having fruit cubes, fruit kebabs, fresh fruit juice and fruit merengue! Like Tandara, the program is fruity in January and icy in February.

Once a month until March, residents can have ice cream served in every room together with sprinkles and their choice of strawberry or chocolate syrup. During February, they had different flavours of ice slushies and summer drinks, with a light up juice fountain at the centre. Some of them were really excited, especially when they got to operate the juicer or ice blender, when they had a cup of juice from the fountain, and even when they got to cut up fruits and serve them to their friends. Many thanks to Alicia Peng, our Food Services Dietitian, for sponsoring us and providing the Summer Hydration Program.

SwanCare Kingia, Tandara and Ningana have also started the Lenten season by observing Ash Wednesday in advance through marking the forehead with the help of the Missionaries of Charity Sisters. The Sisters come every Tuesday for room visits and monthly Catholic mass. Our monthly non-denominational church service with pastor Mark Illingworth fills up our Swan Room as well, with hymns played by Stephen Best, a resident’s brother.
