New Year’s Luncheon
What a fantastic start to the new year! Last month, both facility of Wellington Park Aged Care Home had concerts with Jamie Fletcher in Wentworth and Bill and Dawn up in Stanford as performers.

Cooking, Gardening and Woodwork Fun
Stanford residents enjoyed making chocolate chip cookies and sausage rolls. The staff were well fed from tasting the residents’ final products. “Yum Yum” was all I could hear.
Wellington Park Aged Care Home residents just love getting out in the fresh air and gardening or doing some woodwork projects. They enjoyed planting into the amazing pots that the residents had painted. The wooden planter box is going to be refurbished and given a bright and colorful new look. Keep posted for the end result.
