JIA - tN Katie by Edna Goss "Director, Community nursing home Ten years ago plans were well underway for the trans- ition of the old hospital to our first nursing home opened in February 1970. The residents who were admitted in 1970 are shown in the group picture. Mrs. Mackie is happiest in her special chair in the sitt- ing room. While she cannot name familiar faces, she knows they are her visitors and loves to see anyone who has the time to spend a few moments. Abe Johnson is a native Indian from Scugog Island. He is blind and hard of hearing but has adapted ex- tremely well. Inthe summer you will see him sitting outside smoking his pipe. Mrs. Lekler has a private room full of treasures. She spends part of each morning on "housework". The after- noons find her busy in the activity room weaving or helping in a current project. Mrs. Byers participates in the morning exercise pro- gram consisting of group exercises, games and exer- cises geared to the needs of vay the individual resident. She sometimes lies down for an hour after lunch before re- turning downstairs. Depend- ing on what is planned she might sew, play cards or bingo, attend choir practice, or discuss the election to name only 'a few of the activities. Mr. Morg can be found folding clothes in the laundry every morning. Almost ev- ery afternoon you will see him going for a long walk. John Doupe, our youngest resident, likes to "'sleep in"'. He spends his afternoons in the activity room except for Thursdays when he goes swimming at Uxbridge Pool. He also has frequent visits home with his family. Miss Ferguson will tell you that her birthday is July 23rd. She will be 103 years old. She is up and about her room and knows visitors by name. . This year we celebrate the fourth anniversary of the new building. We are anx- ious to have you join with us for a Strawberry Social Sun- day June 17th from 2-4 P.M. Everyone is welcome. If the choir can muster enough confidence in themselves they will make their debut. These ladies and gentlemen have been residents of the Community Nursing Home since it opened in 1970.
