18.01.2022 Jennifer Phillips, we think you are extraordinary! Jenny is a visually impaired artist and is part of our retirement living community at The Manor. She has an inherited eye condition which has no central vision and only part peripheral vision. Jenny has shown amazing courage, talent and determination to produce some beautiful art works over the past year! We were delighted to attend Jennys special art show in Launceston and Jill, our Facility Manager felt incredibly privileged to be asked to provide a speech. Great news! Most of Jennys paintings were sold at the show and all proceeds from her art will be donated to Guide Dogs Tasmania!

16.01.2022 Dianne & Neil are shaving off their locks! Dianne & Neil live with us at The Manor and are challenging themselves to shave their hair to support Cancer Council in their mission for a cancer free future. Their goal is $2000! Because 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, they are losing their locks to raise funds and show their support. We will be holding a very special event on 24th March 2020 at 1.30pm to celebrate their amazing efforts - watch ...their locks get shaved and enjoy a lovely afternoon tea and entertainment throughout the afternoon.

Whilst there has been no suspected or positive cases of COVID-19 in our homes, we will enter a lock down period at all OneCare residential aged care facilities from 5.00pm today (18th March 2020) for a period of 2 4 weeks. We will continually review this position and we are committed to updating you on a weekly basis or earlier if needed. This decision is in addition to Prime Minister Scott Morrisons announcement earlier today regarding new restrictions imposed on the aged care industry to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. We understand and respect the need for families to visit loved ones in special circumstances. OneCare will work with you and help facilitate such visits under strict arrangements that require you to be with your loved one. Please contact the home directly for more information.

10.01.2022 IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR ALL ONECARE RESIDENTS, STAFF AND FAMILIES IN REGARDS TO THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) The safety, health and wellbeing of OneCares residents, staff, families, volunteers and friends is paramount. As you are aware, there is local transmission of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the community. COVID-19 primarily causes respiratory illness in humans, and while all types of respiratory viruses can cause sickness in the elderly, COVID-19 is a partic...ularly contagious infection that can cause severe illness and death for vulnerable people. Residential aged care facilities are particularly susceptible to COVID-19 outbreaks. OneCare takes this situation extremely seriously and our expert team is working to ensure that every precaution is taken to protect and minimise the risk to our community. We request that you please consider the safety and health of those who live and work at OneCare. Families play an important role in protecting their relatives from community viruses. With this in mind, we ask that all visitors to OneCares aged care facilities consider limiting any non-urgent visits. If you do need to visit an ill resident, please be acutely aware and you must adhere to infection control requirements noted at all entrance points to the facility. On entry you will be asked to comply with specific guidance including: reporting to reception, only visiting the ill resident, enter and leave the facility without spending time in communal areas, and performing strict hand hygiene before entering and leaving. We urge you to be vigilant with hygiene measures including social distancing, and to monitor for symptoms of COVID-19, specifically fever and respiratory illness. Importantly, please stay away if you are feeling unwell for your own and residents protection. We encourage you to continue to stay in touch with your family and friends through phone, email or video chat platforms such as skype or face time. Our team are working to enable ease of access for residents to communicate through video chat platforms. OneCare is committed to providing safe quality care. Over the coming days we will keep you closely updated (via Facebook, our website, and by direct mail and email) on the current situation and how this may impact you and your loved one. Thank you for your understanding and support. Kindest regards, OneCare

07.01.2022 Celebrating International Nurses Day! Today we proudly celebrate more than 200 extraordinary nursing staff at OneCare. The International Council of Nurses was celebrated on May 12, 1965. May 12 is an important date to all nurses, as it is the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale, who is widely considered the founder of modern nursing. In January 1974, this day was officially made International Nurses Day.... To each of our nurses, you are an important part of our OneCare family and we thank you for all that you do. Today we made sure that each of our nurses received a very special thank you and a small gift to acknowledge their amazing contribution. Please keep safe and know that you are appreciated

07.01.2022 OneCares Years of Service Award celebrations! Over the past two weeks we have felt incredibly privileged to hold OneCares Years of Service Awards across the state. Many of our staff have been with us for a significant amount of time and its important that we celebrate these milestones and the valuable contribution every person makes in lives of OneCares 2000+ residents/clients. We celebrated some big milestones including 45, 35, 30, 25 and 20 years!

Special thanks to everyone that helped make these celebrations enjoyable and memorable.

07.01.2022 Working with Richmond Fellowship to support our residents! OneCare was recently approached by Richmond Fellowship Tasmania (a mental health network across Tasmania) seeking to work collaboratively with us. Richmond Health, Richmond Fellowship Tasmanias clinical program, has been engaged by Primary Health Tasmania to provide psychological services to residents of aged care facilities across Tasmania experiencing mild to moderate mental illness. Through a referral process, ten... psychological sessions are available to residents within aged care facilities and will occur as one-on-one and/or group sessions who qualify under the funding criteria (i.e. they must have a mental health diagnosis, not dementia). What does this mean for OneCare? We are pleased to share that The Manor, Umina Park and Bishop Davies Court have all been selected to participate in this program for the first year. Barossa Park Lodge and Rubicon Grove will come on board in the second and third year of the program. This is a hugely valuable initiative that will seek to enhance the quality of life and well-being of our residents. We look forward to keeping you updated on the progress and impact!

06.01.2022 To all OneCare families and friends, Keeping residents, consumers, staff and the local community safe is our number one priority. Whilst there continues to be no suspected or positive cases of Covid-19 in our homes, OneCare will continue with controlled access to our facilities under Government direction. The tighter measures announced last week for Tasmanian aged care facilities were put in place to further strengthen the protection and safety for those who live and work w...ith us. Family visitation and gifts > We understand and respect the need for families to visit loved ones in special circumstances. OneCare will work with you and help facilitate such visits under strict arrangements on a case-by-case basis. Please contact the home directly for more information. If you would like to send your loved one a gift, please do this by post, or by contacting the home to make arrangements. Mandatory staff screening > OneCare is committed to upholding strict measures to help reduce the risk of Covid-19 and takes a zero tolerance approach to any staff who attend work that exhibit any signs of illness. Every employee must report to a mandatory screening station before commencing their shift. A temperature check is taken and recorded and staff are required to provide a written response to questions regarding their health and recent activity. Influenza vaccination > As you are aware, from 1 May 2020, any person entering a residential aged care facility must be vaccinated against influenza. This applies to staff, visitors, health practitioners, volunteers, contractors and others. Under Government direction, OneCare will seek appropriate evidence of your immunisation status prior to you entering our aged care homes. Appropriate evidence may be a statement or record from your Doctor / Pharmacist, or an immunisation history statement available from Medicare online or Medicare mobile app. You will only be required to provide evidence on one occasion annually and our staff will maintain a record to support this requirement. If you are unable to be vaccinated against influenza > A small proportion of people may not be able to have the influenza vaccination due to medical reasons. If this applies to you, we ask that you supply a letter to the Facility Manager from your Doctor advising the reasons. Each inability to be vaccinated will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. OneCare will align our management with the advice provided by Government and the wider health sector. We are committed to keeping you closely updated. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Kindest regards, OneCare

02.01.2022 "We hope that we can make a difference in someones life!" With help from The Manors Kathryn Smith, resident Chris Bowen will shave off his hair and beard on December 6 if he raises $2000. "Im shaving my head because of Nat [Lane], one of our carers. She battled with cancer, and she worked until she couldnt work any more." Ms Lane lost her battle with cancer on October 7.... "Im trying to raise money for some research. I know its not going to help Nat, but it might help others," Mr Bowen said. Ms Smith said Ms Lane was one of her good friends, and she hoped they could make a difference in someone elses life. "Cancer has affected nearly everyone. Everyone knows someone who has had cancer," she said. If the duo make it to $4000, Ms Smith will dye her hair pink! To contribute to the cause, visit > doitforcancer.com.au/fundraisers/kathrynsmith
