Merrimac Park
Puppy Cuddles, Intergenerational Fun, and a Little Accordion Polka
Quick Answer
Last month at Merrimac Park, residents sang along to Oktoberfest polkas on Zoltan’s accordion, shared cuddles with Passion with Paws therapy dogs and baby animals from Old MacDonald Farm, enjoyed bus outings, and welcomed the Kindy Kids in costume for a Hallowe’en intergenerational party. November brings Melbourne Cup celebrations, market stalls and more.
Oktoberfest
We celebrated Oktoberfest with Zoltan last month. He sang and played many traditional Oktoberfest songs on his accordion. Our residents sang along to many of the polkas and it was an upbeat mood for everyone.
Dog Therapy
We enjoyed cuddles and smiles with Passion with Paws. These dog therapy visits bring love and joy to everyone.
Old MacDonald Farm
Baby farm animals from Old MacDonald Farm visited us once again. Cuteness overload! Our residents savored gentle cuddles and shared smiles while reminiscing about pets and farm animals.
Bus Outings
Last month, we offered a variety of exercises and some are so fun we forget that we are exercising.
Hallowe’en Party
The Kindy Kids came in costume for our Hallowe’en intergenerational program set up with our Welcoming Committee. Everyone had a blast!
