We are very pleased to welcome Lolita Basobas to the Occupational Therapy Department at Ventnor Home. Lolita is a Registered Occupational Therapist from the Philippines and has a broad range of experience and knowledge. Pam Michael one of our Activity Therapists is recovering at home from an accident which happened several weeks ago. We wish Pam a good recovery and hope she will be back with us soon. The Physiotherapy Department is busy and Physiotherapist Pam Glennie is very pleased to have two new chairs especially designed for clients in the Physio Department.
Today is a lovely sunny day - a promise of things to come with Spring around the corner.
The Hospital has been busy with full beds but no coughs and sneezes, with luck and good care we may miss the 'flu bugs this winter. We continue to struggle with Registered Nurse shortages and our new Team Leader Tineke has had unexpected surgery and will not be back with us for 3 - 4 weeks yet. We are trialling floor covering in Room 1 Ward 1. Do tell staff what you think of it. We will be approaching clients families to get their views before going ahead with the next stage of the floor refurbishment programme.
