AUTUMN 2015

Welcome to our autumn edition.

After commemorating the centenary of our Anzacs and with Mother’s Day now upon us, it is a good time to reflect on the contribution from the women in our lives. From being a daughter, sister, aunt, mother or grandmother, the traditional female role is generally that of a nurturing one.

If we look back, and before the First World War, the traditional paid female roles in western countries were mostly restricted to the domestic sphere as servants and housewives, or sometimes in factory jobs supporting the textiles and clothing industries.

However, the wars in which Australia have been involved had a profound effect on our women’s lives. From the outset, women were keen to be as actively involved in war efforts as much as our men. Their traditional roles started to change as they dealt with the many consequences of war - managing children and family responsibilities alone, shortages of resources, as well as their fears for the future, and the grief and trauma of losing loved ones. Many became actively involved, for example nurses like our own Gwen Parken, who helped care for many soldiers and returning prisoners of war for two years.

They have managed change, they have cared and supported for their families, and they have done so with dignity and respect. We honour the men who fought for their country and the women who were there to support them. Every person has a unique journey in life and it is through our sharing and commemoration of times like Anzac Day that we create memories that give us and understanding of our history and the history of a person.

2015 INTERGENERATIONAL REPORT AUSTRALIA IN 2055Every five years, the Australian Government produces an Intergenerational Report that assesses the long-term sustainability of current Government policies and how changes to Australia’s population size and age profile may impact on economic growth, workforce and public finances over the next 40 years.

According to the intergenerational report, Australia's population in that year (2055) will nudge 40 million, up from 24 million people today. And while many more will remain at work longer, the aged care sector will also grow significantly.

PAST CARERS BOOKLET AVAILABLEDo you know if you are a past carer? Someone in your family may be – who needs support.

A past carer is someone who has ceased their active caring role due to a permanent change in circumstances and this impact can be a time when individuals experience a loss of identity, isolation, employment concerns, health issues and possibly financial disadvantage. Their future can be daunting. Why? Much of a carer’s time and emotional energy has been focused on caring for someone and when it changes there can be a real feeling of loss or grief.

The NFP organisation Carer Support have compiled and information booklet to assist people who are no longer caring, to get back on track or “reconstruct their life”.

Go to the “Past Carer” section of the website to download the information booklet.

2015OPEN DAYN A T I O N A L

19 JUNE

Aged care providers across Australia will open their doors to local communities on 19 June 2015 to celebrate National Open Day and the positive experiences of ageing. Adj Prof John G Kelly AM, CEO Aged & Community Services Australia, said Australia's residential and community aged care and retirement villages have an international reputation for innovation and excellence.

Our own experience last year was overwhelmingly positive, with families, friends and volunteers joining with staff, residents and people receiving care in the community to celebrate all the good that happens in the sector.

All families should have a conversation about ageing and Open Day is a great place for this to begin.

3 AUTUMN 2015

HEALTHY ACTIVE AGEINGLIVING WELLAs a retiree, you want to live well after you have finished working; you should be able to spend your time how you want to. Our retirement living villas have been specially designed to help you enjoy your retirement.

Active and healthy ageing is the key for all to live well, regardless of our age or health conditions. Our latest initiative will help improve overall health and wellbeing outcomes, as well as people’s overall quality of life.

Research shows that exercise, including basic strength, balance and fitness training improves our ability to function, however, we are all guilty of watching the TV or reading instead of taking that walk around the block. We figured everyone just needed some encouragement. So, by installing gyms across our centres, we are supporting people to improve their overall mobility and maintain independence.

It is good news to report several Southern Cross Care staff members have already taken their Certificate III in Fitness and their personal stories will no doubt be an inspiration to those who they work with. They found the in-depth course also had benefits for them too!

Bucklands PT instructor Kay Willamson said the course had helped her address her own

OUR LIFESTYLE JUST GOT EVEN MORE ACTIVE!

fitness levels. Although she’d always led an active life, Kay was treated for cancer five years ago and having had a lot of treatment, she had got out of the habit of taking regular exercise.

“My own experiences will help many because I know what it’s like to have a long period of inactivity,” says Kay. “Exercise affects the whole person, mentally and physically, and many people at Bucklands are getting very excited at the prospect of having a gym here.”

Ladies Gridiron player Kristen Illuminato loves the gym, and had been thinking of

doing a Certificate III in Fitness anyway. Kristen had been working at Lourdes Valley in a support worker role and she was delighted when we suggested she enrolled in the course. “Some of the course was online which I did find challenging,” she admits. “Now I am a qualified PT instruction I’m really looking forward to helping people in other ways to improve their mobility and help prevent deterioration in their health.”

Barb Gutte, PT instructor at The Pines Lodge is living with osteoporosis and maintains her own mobility by daily weight building exercises. “I believe it’s easier to motivate people when you’ve been through things yourself ; and I really understand the challenges of staying motivated,” she says. “I am very blessed to be in this position, where I can help improve another person’s life. More importantly increased mobility - such as by being able to go to the bathroom on your own - will help improve self-worth – this is just as important as the physical benefits of increasing activity.”

Active and healthy ageing is the key for all to live well, regardless of our age or health conditions.

SUPPORTING ACTIVE VOLUNTEERSFor older Australians and their families who seek the key to living well, Southern Cross Care tailor our living hubs, programs and care around encouraging our customers to remain active and healthy for as long as possible. We also encourage people to remain connected and to stay involved in their community. Like, following, supporting and participating in sport at any age, and at any level.

It’s why we have partnered with Australian University Sport to sponsor the Australian Masters Games Volunteers! We wanted in on the action. To be connected with an

organisation encouraging older Australians to remain active and healthy.

The 2015 Australian Masters Games will be hosted in Adelaide, South Australia from Saturday 3 October - Saturday 10 October, 2015. As well as an extensive sporting schedule supported by the Volunteers, there are a variety of social events throughout the week, providing a festival atmosphere for both competitors and visitors to Adelaide. It is expected that over 10,000 participants will compete across approximately 60 different sports. Which one will you be participating in?

HEALTHY ACTIVE AGEING

in a week! At Riverpoint, she joins a “Chit Chatters” group who walk each evening. Her doctor has recommended she walk 10,000 steps a day and she finds this easier with the “fit-bit” as she can tell where she is up to and will get out and walk around the village to keep her fitness going. She encourages everyone to give it a go – and says, “why not, it can only do you more good than harm.”

Note: “fit-bit” is the commercial term for a walking counter wrist band device that can be purchased in local stores like Big W, Target and Kmart

Barbara Lewis has been challenging herself to get fit since the gym officially opened in 2013.

After starting walking, Barbara realised she also enjoyed the treadmill and how it produced positive results in losing weight, bringing blood pressure down and for simply feeling better within herself. After being introduced to the “fit-bit” by her grand-daughter, Barbara got involved in a weekly challenge with five other members to count steps and proudly explains she won the challenge by over 3,000 steps to her closest rival (and they were all under 40 years of age). She had done over 64,000 steps

Fay Arnold was one of the first residents to move into Riverpoint and is a proud 85 years old. She is a remarkable woman and an inspiration to many just because of who she is.

Fay has overcome three heart bypasses, has had both knees replaced and she visits a physiologist weekly to be put through her paces! On these visits she rides a stationary bike for 20mins and completes various weight bearing exercises for ½ hour.

How many milestones have you personally looked back on and reflected your position in life? Your fitness, where you live and the friends you have made over the years?

For someone like Kathy Payne it brings many memories and moments of joy. Her first kiss, job, and plane flight. Learning to ride a bike and so on. She looks back on her previous life, her work and her 740 square metre garden and smiles. However, these days, she loves her new home and her smaller garden plot, where she grows

FAY ARNOLD THE ETERNAL ENERGISER

KATHY PAYNE GROWING HEALTHIER EACH DAY cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, basil, mint and coriander!

Kathy spends three to four days a week at Riverpoint’s gym and has shed eight kilograms as a result. Her doctor is impressed with her health improvements and she says she has much more energy and is sleeping like a baby at night. It has also provided the incentive to go shopping for new clothes to match her new dress size!

Her physiologist has her walking, stretching, doing weights and amazingly she completes 60 squats while holding a ball against the wall with her back! On top of this Fay walks most nights with “the girls” in the village for ½ hour and every day we see her in the gym in our community centre walking on the treadmill for 2 kilometres. Speaking to Fay is a joy as she is passionate about life; she loves living at Riverpoint and enjoys the company of the many friends she has made.

MOTHER ’S DAY QU IZ :

There’s an Irish proverb that says, “A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.” Which might explain why it’s mothers we celebrate every year. And since we do, and Mother’s Day is coming up May 10, what better time for a fun quiz about mums - both fictional and real.

1. In Louisa May Alcott’s book “Little Women,” what did Jo and her sisters call their mother?

2. When was the first Mother’s Day observed?

A. May 1, 1808 B. May 10, 1901 C. May 10, 1908

3. What flower symbolizes Mothers Day?

A. Red Ros B. White Carnation C. Daffodil

ANZAC DAY 100 YEARS IN THE “BAKING”

Southern Cross Care commemorated the 100th Anniversary of the first landing at Anzac Cove in many ways with staff and residents. Our elderly residents are passionate about this occasion, as is to be expected. Many re-tell stories from days gone past and it is a time of reflection for them.

Every person has a unique journey in life and it is through our sharing and commemoration of such times like Anzac Day that we create memories that give us an understanding of our history and the history of a person.

Anzac Day holds meaning and memory for all ages.

One example is from Rachael Riding, our Chef Manager at Southern Cross Care’s Philip Kennedy Centre, who baked more than 200 biscuits for the Centre’s residents, based on a recipe developed over more than 30 years by her nanna. The Anzac Biscuit was initially associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) established during World War One, as the biscuits were sent by wives to soldiers abroad.

Rachael tells us that her nanna spent many years baking lamingtons, scones and Anzac biscuits to raise money for the Country Women’s Association and cites her as the reason she is a chef today. She started out

in a hotel kitchen when she was 12 years old and has now been in the hospitality industry for 33 years.

At Southern Cross Care centres, all meals are cooked on site. Our chefs go to extreme lengths to ensure residents not only have a tasty and varied menu, but also have food relevant to special occasions. It is the extras, such as Rachael’s Anzac biscuits, which make our centres homely and keep residents connected to time-honoured traditions that have meaning to them.

Rachael Riding’s

1 x cup desiccated coconut 1 x cup rolled oats 1 x cup plain flour ½ cup castor sugar 2 x tbsp golden syrup 2 x tbsp maple syrup 1 x tsp bicarbonate soda1 x tbsp boiling water125g butter

RECIPE

Method Preheat oven to 180°c OR 160°c fan forced. Line two baking trays with baking paper. Sift flour into bowl, and then add oats, coconut, and sugar. Stir and make a well in the centre of bowl.

Place butter, golden syrup, and maple syrup in a heated pot until it begins to boil. Combine bicarbonate soda with boiling water, add to the butter mixture, then quickly add to the flour mixture and stir.

Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls, and place on tray. Use a floured fork to gently press tops to slightly flatten. Bake for 15 mins, rotating trays halfway through. Remove from oven, and leave on trays to cool. Transfer to wire rack.

Rachael’s Five To p Tips:1. Bake the biscuits for a further 10 minutes, and when cold, put them in a

food processor to make a topping for apple crumble dessert.

2. Press mixture into tart trays, cook for 15 minutes. When cool, transfer to a wire rack, and pipe in a caramel filling. Top with whipped cream and chocolate flakes.

3. Press the mixture into a tray to bake. When cool, the mixture can be cut into Anzac biscuit fingers.

4. Caster sugar can be substituted with brown sugar.

5. To avoid crumbling, allow biscuits to cool completely on the baking tray.

Gwen Parken was only 18 years old when she enlisted in the AAMWS at the Keswick Barricks in Adelaide, and, like many young Australian women made a special contribution to the Second World War effort. She was keen to support the war effort along with many others.

Gwen enrolled into a rookie’s course at St Margaret’s hospital in Semaphore, with her first posting at Daw Park hospital. She then went for 6 weeks training in Darley, Victoria working as a nursing orderly, working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week for five shillings. At 21, Gwen joined the AIF (Australian Imperial Forces) and was posted to 2/6th Australian General Hospital at Rocky River in Queensland.

Rocky River camp was a staging camp to equip soldiers for overseas duty. It took 11 days on a rugged troop train to get there and three months for Gwen to find her luggage, she thanks God for the Red Cross. A trip Gwen remembers well to this day. Gwen was seconded to Brisbane, Yeronga Women’s hospital where the Americans had set up a 2000 bed hospital. Gwen helped care for many soldiers and returning prisoners of war for two years.

While in the services, Gwen made many wonderful friendships, adhering to the strict discipline and hygiene rules keeping the wards spotlessly clean, but it was hard work making do when there were rationed supplies.

GWEN - A SHORT STORY WITH LIFE LONG FRIENDSHIPS.At this time Gwen’s fiancé went missing in action. He was taken prisoner and eventually died whilst serving overseas. However, Gwen has had a very full life. She has since married twice, has three children, three grandchildren and three great grandchildren and now has enjoyed her 21 years at The Pines retirement village.

She says the friendships she made during the war were life long and never forgotten. She still practices the discipline learned and credits this start to the strong women she is today.

Gwen and her daughter Susan attend Anzac Day dawn service each year at West Torrens Council, Hilton.

before the ANZACS landed at Gallipoli so it is a special celebration this year, not only for ANZAC day but for Ron on his 100th birthday. Ron is a 4th generation South Australian, his great-grandfather having arrived in 1847. Ron’s Mother was from a German/Silesian family at Seppeltsfield in the Barossa. When we asked Ron his secret to longevity he answered “A Whiskey before dinner and good genes”.

On Saturday morning 28th March, our CEO Andrew Larpent, along with his cycling group “The Rosefield Cluster”, joined Southern Cross Care’s Vice Chairman David Martin, Loretta Martin and other cyclists to ride from Peter Taylor House to the Riverpoint site in Noarlunga Downs to present our new residents with a welcoming ceremonial key.

The Rosefield Cluster’s motto is to “have fun + get fitter + improve your well-being + see Adelaide”. And, as a retiree, you want to live well after you have finished working; you should be able to spend your time how you want. The Riverpoint retirement living villas have been specially designed to

Both Andrew and David spoke to residents, welcoming them to their new homes. They both spoke of the great vibe that has been cultivated at Riverpoint, evident with around 50 existing Riverpoint residents joining the welcoming festivities over morning tea.

Riverpoint offers great surroundings, a vibrant atmosphere, and a place to free yourself from worry, connect with the community and make the most of your life.

It was a wonderful morning for everyone and we are sure Andrew was encouraging many to join his cycling group!

Getting involved is more than hitting a ball. Maxine Kerr is an 88 year old resident at The Fairways Retirement Village in Victor Harbor and she has been a member of the South Lakes Golf Club for nearly 40 years, playing golf regularly right up to last year. She says “she is now the ‘handicap’ playing golf, but loves to see the young ones playing and having fun”.

She gets her enjoyment out of financially sponsoring Juniors aged around 10-16 years and pays for their tuition fees. One girl in particular is a Club Champion and won many trophies, demonstrating that a little bit of support goes a long way as she would never have been able to afford to play golf if it wasn’t for Maxine’s help. Maxine also sponsors Women’s competitions by paying for prizes for the competitions.

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER

Marie Geraghty and Jean Vogan live with us in Mount Gambier. Jean moved into Holder Street in the mid 70’s and was one of the original residents of the village. Marie moved in the village in the early 80’s, but her husband was on the Port McDonald Council and was involved in the

official opening of the Southern Cross Care village back in the early 70s. Both ladies are now 97 years old and their secret to a long and healthy life is keeping busy and getting out and about.

Marie walks most days into town in Mount Gambier, keeping fit and reasonably

healthy by doing so. The latest saying is “Sitting is the new Smoking” – so by keeping active (and not sitting for too long) and getting plenty of the beautiful Mount Gambier fresh air has certainly helped Marie. She enjoys reading the local newspapers and has been knitting squares for blankets so this helps keep the mind active as well. A great combination - exercise for the body and the mind.

Jean enjoys pottering in her garden and takes great pride in her plants. She gets out and about with friends and family and goes to lunch every Monday. She meets with around 3-7 friends/family every week without fail and always looks forward to the lunch and chit chat. She wouldn’t miss it!!

Both ladies have been long time widows, but have proven that keeping the body and the mind active you can live independently.

Congratulations ladies – you are both a credit to our Mount Gambier community.

She still visits the golf club regularly on Wednesdays for lunch and is the oldest full female member, and although she is a good “putter” – once did 200m with a putter, she knows she can’t play anymore and the

Southern Cross Care CEO’s Andrew Larpent met with Ian Hunter MLC, Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, the Hon. Steph Key, Member for Ashford, Vaughan Levitzke, Chief Executive, Zero Waste SA, John Freeth, Directed Resources and Anton Ianni, Veolia and several key Southern Cross Care Executive and staff at Bucklands residential care to review our waste management practices.

Minister Hunter said in a recent press release "Dealing with waste has tended to be low on the priority list (within the aged care sector) even though the average residential aged care facility is an intense user of resources.

The waste challenge is about to become even greater with ageing baby boomers

– who represent an estimated 25% of the population – heading for aged care homes in ever increasing numbers. But a corresponding rise in waste to landfill is being avoided thanks to a unique partnership between the South Australian Government, the aged care sector and waste management industry."

Southern Cross Care has provided a major turnaround already and this was acknowledged by Minister Hunter. He said

“it is welcoming that organisations like yours remain progressive and implement these practices.”

Andrew Larpent, Southern Cross Care CEO, responded that he “welcomes any innovative suggestions and practices that this company can implement and pilot, and that we will continue to review best practice initiatives and better ways to do our work.”

Southern Cross Care had reviewed its recycling program early last year with the Executive giving priority status to implement new practices, with a change-over that began mid-2014.

Minister Ian Hunter visits Bucklands

■ A waste management contract was awarded to Veolia after full tender. The contract included bin systems, signage and staff training.

■ A rigorous change management and communications program was developed to implement recycling. This included flyers, site booklets, posters and regular online alerts.

■ Central office piloted the new system and achieved a 78% landfill diversion rate.

■ A green team comprising staff and residents was formed at Buckland Nursing Home to help with roll-out. Similar teams will be established at other sites.

■ Veolia is sponsoring quarterly trophies to recognise the aged care facilities which achieve the best recycling rate and provide a benchmark for other sites.

■ By switching to recycl ing Southern Cross Care will save about $80,000 a year.
