Melbourne Cup at Ridgehaven today was awesome. The dining room looked classy, the participants were elegantly dressed and the food was delicious. So proud of the activities team and catering team who made it all happen. Well done. Many thanks to our huge band of volunteers who helped set up and pull down, and to those who sold raffle tickets and sweepstakes. Also thanks to staff who helped residents with their outfits and hairstyles. Thank you to each and everyone who helped, attended and made our day a lot of fun.

Major works will be happening over the next few weeks. Copper water pipes in the Fairfax, Williams and Light Horse Wings (downstairs) are being replaced. Unfortunately these pipes are badly corroded and creating ongoing issues. The work requires plumbers to be in the roof cavity, which means the power must be turned off during those hours. Inconvenient, but necessary for their safety. Disconnection of power to these buildings is also affecting our internet and phone systems in all areas except for admin. We apologise if you are experiencing issues getting through to the nurses or kitchen. This should only be a problem during daylight hours. We'll do our best to overcome this. Thanks for your patience.

Mungungo vs the World - an amazing community event. English men are not the only crazy ones to play cricket in the heat! Although nothing beats a Monto spring day. Well done everyone!

The Food Safety auditor today has declared the standards of our kitchen to be A+. He stated that staff work to standards above accepted and expected standards.
I am not surprised. I am very aware of the exceptional standards in our kitchen.
I am certainly super proud of our catering staff to have that confirmed by someone who sees many commercial kitchens.
Kath is an inspiration and has taught her team well. Congratulations to all kitchen staff and many thanks for your diligence! Well done!!!
