22.01.2022 Here are some puzzles to help you fill in some time during these gloomy wet days of isolation. Please feel free to put your answers in the comments below. No cheating the rest of you though. :)

20.01.2022 JULY IS OUR BIRTHDAY!!!! Yes, it is now a WHOLE year since South West Do Care and Adult Day Activity Centre merged to become Miller House. What an interesting year it has been. It has been a great year, a busy year, a year of adaption; a year of meeting new people, doing new things, going new places; a year of calamities - Cyber Attack, COVID-19- but Miller House wont let any of those things knock us down. We are still here. We are still functioning, albeit a little differe...ntly, so................................. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US

18.01.2022 Where have you been flying to lately, even in your dreams? Dreams are fun as they can take you where you want to be. Keep flying, We want to see you back at Miller House, when we are able to open.

16.01.2022 Boy oh boy oh boy. I think winter is here, and hasnt it hit with a vengeance. I guess a good thing is, we cant go anywhere, so stay safe, stay warm & crank the heater up. How many layers of clothes do you have on?

16.01.2022 I did get a chuckle out of this one. I hope you do too.

16.01.2022 Looking out the window at Miller House, and this is what I see. I hope you are out enjoying it. Madeleine and I had a lunchtime walk......so very pleasant outside.

16.01.2022 The Miller House Team having one of their many Zoom meetings over the last few months.

15.01.2022 How many of these can you solve? Feel free to comment, or answer them in the comments below. We have to keep our brains warm on these icy Colac days,

15.01.2022 Another bright and sunny, albeit cool day. Isnt autumn a beautiful time of year? Even summer-girl me likes it. As long as the sun is shining, I am happy. Just a catch up with our visiting volunteers. With the lifting of the Government restrictions to allow for face to face visitor, at this stage, this is not the case with Miller House. Remembering how we are working with the most vulnerable people in our community, we need to keep our clients, and our volunteers, safe and well. You will most certainly will be informed when you are allowed to visit face to face, but of course, social distancing rules will still apply. I thank you for your patience.

14.01.2022 Greetings to you all!! As you would know or realise Miller House is closed as we cannot run our programmes and activities. As the constraints on us get tighter and tighter to curb the spread, we are hoping you are all doing well, learning to enjoy your own company, finding other ways of communicating with each other, finding activities you had forgotten you enjoyed........the list goes on. Even though Miller House is closed, it is still staffed, so if you need please give us... a call on 5232 5351. We are here for you. Our visiting programme is still running with our volunteers doing virtual visiting, whether it be a phone call, an email, a face-time, whatever. If you are not usually in the visiting programme and would appreciate a phone call from one of our volunteers to have a chat, please let us know at the Office. Please stay home. Ask a family member, neighbour, friend to get you your supplies. Be patient. Stay well. <3 <3 <3

13.01.2022 This week we, at Miller House, say farewell to Madeleine. Madeleine is changing roles, but staying at CAH. We thank Madeleine for all that she has done with and for Miller House in the last 15 months. Enjoy your new role. We will miss you.

13.01.2022 Hi yall, Just a little message to see how everyone is faring. I know it is very tough for some of you. Think of it being home safe and well, rather than "stuck" at home. It may seem a long time, but in the long run, it will be worth it. You can go for a walk, do chair exercises, stretch....... Lets not end up like these two poor dears....... Oh dear.
