Hi Everyone, As you may now know we have our new maintenance person. Paul has settled in nicely with The Henley Team and you will notice that the grounds are looking tidy, the glass surrounds are sparkling and Paul has been actively involved in the preventative maintenance program. Patrick and Kris will have much to share in the next couple of weeks with their works programme. We said a huge thank you and sad farewell to Kim Fayers from Care staff Nursing Agency who has helped us out immensely over the past few months overseeing the clinical care. We wish Kim all the best with her husband on their adventures up north. It’s with great excitement that I can introduce Majella Sims and Nikki Vidler as two new clinical staff members joining the extended Henley team. Majella is our new RN Clinical Coordinator working Monday to Friday commencing this week. Nikki is our new casual Nurse who commenced last week. Both Majella and Nicki bring with them many years of nursing experience. Please join me in welcoming both Majella and Nicki. Hopefully you can attend the morning teas on Wednesday and Sunday to meet the ladies. There are three new branded mail boxes for the following - Social Committee, Resort Manager and Lifestyle and Wellness Coordinator, so please feel free to post any of us suggestions, concerns or compliments. Last but not least, I would like welcome the new Resident Committee and to extend my thanks to the past Committee members for their huge effort, support and hard work over the years. Kind Regards Marie Solien -Resort Manager

YES, YOU CAN EXERCISE AT ANY AGE

There's an overwhelming amount of evidence confirming that physical exercise is a key player in disease reduction, optimal mental, emotional and physical health, and longevity. After reviewing 40 papers published between 2006 and 2010, researchers found that exercise reduces the risk of about two dozen health conditions, ranging from cancer and heart disease to type 2 diabetes, stroke, dementia and depression. Exercise also slows down the rate of aging itself, providing perhaps the closest example of a real life fountain of youth as we will ever find. Ideally, you will have made exercise a regular part of your life long before you reach your "golden" years … but if you haven't, there's no better time to start than the present. Research has shown that regular exercise, even initiated late in life, offers profound health benefits. For instance:

Even a small amount of exercise may protect the elderly from long-term memory loss and even help reverse some of the effects of aging.

Women between the ages of 75 and 85, all of whom had reduced bone mass or full-blown osteoporosis, were able to lower their fall risk with strength training and agility activities.

Moderate exercise among those aged 55-75 may cut the risk of developing metabolic syndrome, which increases heart disease and diabetes risk.

Among those who started exercising at age 50 and continued for 10 years, the rate of premature death declined dramatically, similar to giving up smoking and mirroring the level as seen among people who had been working out their entire lives.

Exercise significantly improved muscle endurance and physical capacity among heart failure patients with an average age of 76.

Further, the older you get, the faster your muscles atrophy if you're not regularly engaging in appropriate exercise, so the key to avoiding sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) is to challenge your muscles with appropriately intense exercise. Age-related muscle loss affects about 10 percent of those over 60, with higher rates as age advances, but you can prevent this from occurring if you exercise.

2016 has already seen some fabulous events, with the Australia day entertainment, the resident BBQ’s, the Elvis concert and not to forgot the most recent Blind Wine Tasting. With the resident ‘sub’ social committee in place The Henley residents and staff have noticed the change in what’s on! We have more input, more hands on control and so much more assistance and it is so gratefully appreciated.

Social committee As you may know John & Henny’s Granddaughter was nominated for Miss Teen Galaxy Australia and raised funds for the Make- A-Wish foundation. Maddison, John and Henny would like to express their sincere Thanks to the Henley and those that made a donation towards Maddison’s quest.

Blind Wine Tasting!! Bloopers...

The social committee opted for plastic wine glasses.. because of past experience we knew we would require a lot more glasses then we have! Although with Patrick’s fine taste and class he said no way’!! We’ll be fine to put them through the dish washer!! Well as you can see he felt a little guilty when Glenda and Sam got stuck in the kitchen between tastings franticly washing and drying to have the next round of glasses ready to go.. Thank you Kris and Patrick for jumping in the kitchen and giving us a hand! It was quite a laugh!

The Henley music group is looking for 'talents' amongst our residents. Anyone who would like to sing, play an instrument, dance...etc. ... please contact Loretta on 3903 or Shirley on 3905. Loretta
