TAI CHI - Falls Prevention Program

Come and join in the fun. Novice or experienced, all abilities welcome.

WHEN: Every Wednesday 10.30 - 11.30

COST: $10.00


Tai Chi is a slow exercise which combines deep breathing and relaxation with gentle movements.

Although tai chi is a gentle exercise, the precise movements help to build up muscle strength in the legs and upper body. While you are not working with weights, the unsupported exercises build strength. Muscle strength is an important focus for those in their later years. Tai chi keep you feeling energised in everyday life and ensures mobility for years to come. Tai chi does not require any equipment and is easy to practice at home or out and about.

Studies have shown that the muscle strengthening and stretching involved in tai chi can considerably reduce pain and improve the mood of people with arthritis. By practicing the exercises a few times a week, the physical functionality and way of life of those suffering with the disease can be improved significantly.

How to Play Suduko????

Sudoku is a puzzle involving logic - no arithmetic or guessing is required! The basic idea of completing puzzles is to find cells (the small squares) where you are sure that only one value is a valid placement.

The Basics

The rules of Sudoku are that you should fill a number in to every cell in the grid, using the numbers 1 to 9. The restriction is that you can only use each number once in each row, each column, and in each of the 3 x 3 boxes.

The Two Doilies

There once was a man and a woman who had been married for more than 60 years. They talked bout everything. They kept no secrets from each other…except the old woman had a shoebox in the top of her closet that she cautioned her husband never to open or ask about.

For all these years he had never thought about the box, but one day the old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.

In trying to sort out their affairs, the old man took down the shoebox and took it to his wife’s bedside. She agreed it was time that he should know what was in the box.

When he opened it, he found 2 beautifully crocheted doilies and a stack of money totalling over $25,000. He asked her about the unusual contents.

“When we were married.” she said, “my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doily.”

The little old man was so moved, he had to fight back tears. Only two precious doilies were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all the years of living and loving He almost burst with joy and happiness.

“Sweetheart,” he said…”that explains the doilies, but what about all this money? Where did it all come from?”

Oh, “she said, “that’s the money I made from selling the doilies.”

Valued Volunteer Pat Parkinson

I was born in London, and grew up in the North of England during the second World War. As you can imagine life had many ups and downs, but what I do remember is the way people pulled together and were always willing to volunteer to help anyone, or where needed, so I think this is where my mindset began. As children we were encouraged to help where we could. I remember there was a wonderful organisation—The W.V.S (Women’s Volunteer Service) that mums who didn’t have a job filled in so many ways while their menfolk weren’t there. I married at 19 years, after losing both my parents, and eventually had 3 children. A daughter and two sons. Once they started school I found I was involved in the sort of things that you do “to help at school”. My husband Ted worked with the Forestry commission in Yorkshire for 11 years, when the Forestry Industry broke down and the woods were closed down, many men lost their jobs. It was a bad time. Two years later we had the opportunity to emigrate to this wonder country. The year was 1968. We settled in Walpole for 2 fantastic years, and then moved to Manjimup in 1970, for more school opportunities. (We’ve been here ever since). Over the years I have joined quite a few volunteer groups, wishing to pay—back for the lovely life we lead, and the many kindnesses we have received. P&C in primary school, helping in the canteens. Meals on Wheels for 24 years, many years with the Manjimup Motor cycle Cub, when the boys rode Moto X, joining the reading programme at the Manjimup Primary School for 10 years, hospital visiting; visiting at Moonya Lodge and finding a way to be useful for that wonderful facility that we have, the Wellness & Respite Community Centre, by running Raffles to raise funds to help where needed. I worked in the local retail liquor business for 25 years, and got to know so many great people, so selling raffle tickets gives me so much pleasure to catch-up with so many of them. I do have hobbies, mainly sewing (everything) cook-a-lot, and play Scrabble.

Thank you Manjimup. I am Pat Parkinson

The Manjimup Wellness and Respite Centre

Why Choose us for Respite?

We pride ourselves on offering a “home away from home” environment. We fill a special niche in the community for clients to have a safe, comfortable break whilst their Carer is not available. With a maximum of 8 beds there is a high client to staff ratio with emphasis on the Wellness Approach and individualized care. We have a team of Support Workers and Registered Nursing Staff who develop and manage personalised care needs. The Respite House can operate 24 hours per day.

The Respite House includes its own cooking facility, lounge-dining room, sensory external garden, secure environment and 24-hour staff. We can provide access for all ages of clients and it is not always essential to have had an ACAT assessment. We can be booked ahead to facilitate the carer having a booked holiday or surgical procedure scheduled. The Respite House helps provide a seamless continuity of care across the whole of the community health spectrum. Manjimup Home and Community Care provides for the same support workers who provide care in the home environment, to also work in the Respite House. In addition, the client’s social and community health is maintained through inclusion in the social and group activities in and out of the Wellness Centre, during their respite stay. What types of clients are eligible?

Clients on Aged Care Home Care Packages and National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Packages. Clients on Commonwealth Home Service Packages (CHSP); previously a HACC service and Private clients with an individualized fee structure. During respite client’s will have access to the social clubs in the adjoining wellness centre, bus trips, group outings, group activities. How do we access this?

This can be accessed by telephoning the main office on (08) 97716900 and arranging a meeting and assessment with the Registered Nurse of Aged and Disability. This meeting will determine:

The client’s care requirements, cost and fee structures, eligibility to access financial assistance from various subsidies, best way to adhere to the Wellness Approach and personalized care needs.

Home Care Packages

Manjimup Home & Community Care offer Aged Care Packages.

The Home Care Packages Program helps you live independently in your own home for as long as you can. The Australian Government provides a subsidy to an approved home care provider towards a package of care, services and case management to meet your Individual needs.

Eligibility

You may be eligible for a home care package if you are: An older person who needs coordinated services to help you stay in

your home. A younger person with a disability, dementia or other special care

needs that are not met through other specialist services.

There are no minimum age requirements or residency restrictions but home care packages are not intended for visitors to Australia or people requiring temporary or short-term care.

Assessment for a home care package

To find out if you are eligible for a home care package or any other help at home services, call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422. The My Aged Care contact centre will ask you a series of questions to determine if you need an assessment by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). During the assessment the ACAT will determine if you are eligible for a home care package and which package level best meets your care need.

There are four levels:

Level 1—basic care needs Level 2—low-level care needs Level 3—intermediate care needs Level 4—high-level care needs

You will be approved for one level of home care package. You will be prioritized for care based on your assessed need.
