July entertainment

Well we did have a spectacular month of entertainment. We had our own version of "So You Think You Can Dance"  www.fox.com/dance/ except ours would be called " So You Love To Dance".

We had Scottish Country Dancers from Charlottetown

and then we had a Belly Dancing Troupe from Summerside and then

the following week we had the Dancing Sweethearts from Charlottetown. It was wonderful and much enjoyed by all. Thankyou so much to everyone who came out here to share their talents.

A good night's rest

Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together." We are following the person- centered care approach  at the South Shore Villa and  if a resident is sound asleep at the usual wake up time, we now have the option of leaving them sleeping. Later in the morning, when their natural circadian rhythm cycle causes them to wake up and want their breakfast, staff will prepare them for the day and feed them their breakfast if needed.

The toast of the Villa and Person Centred Care

The Villa is moving forward with our version of person centred care and it is demonstrated in all sorts of ways.The girls on the floor decided that fresh toast in the mornings would be popular with the residents. So every morning the Villa wafts with the scent of fresh toast. In a new four slice toaster, the staff go through two loaves of bread!!!Hot toast, freshly buttered is one of lifes' great comfort foods. The little things add up to  make a big difference.

Royal Watchers at the South Shore Villa

We put on a longish but enjoyable day watching the young royals visiting PEI between all of the usual activities. It would have been grand if we could have gone to see the action in person but that wasn't really feasible. We all agreed we saw more and in comfort by watching TV than if we had been there. What a great day it was inspite of the rain and wonderful exposure for our beloved PEI. Priscilla Myers hosted the viewing in her handsome sitting room.
