UPDATE FROM SUMMERSIDE Dear family members and friends of Andrews of Summerside, We had a lovely December at our home with live music, Christmas festivities and a visit from Santa.

A special thanks to our student volunteers Chelsey Mirasol and Olivia Gallant for raising $875 so our residents can enjoy a Tim Hortons coffee social every month for all of 2024. You two are amazing.

This month we’ve got more live music, shishkaball and a hot chocolate social planned.

With 2023 behind us, I’d like toish all our residents and their families a wonderful new year. Thank you for your continued trust as we embark on another year together.

Sincerely,

- Kim KIM JAY, RN : DIRECTOR OF CARE

ANDREWS COOKBOOK SUGAR COOKIES

In every family there's that one dish that mom or dad makes better than anyone else in the world. Maybe it's dad's chili recipe, or mom's secret to perfect ginger snap cookies. These dishes and desserts become family legend, favourites at holiday parties, birthdays or family dinners. The recipes are often passed down through generations and become a part of a family's story. We wanted to share those stories.

Every month we feature a different recipe submitted by one of our residents.

This month we feature a sugar cookie recipe from resident Wanda Ings.

ABOVE & BEYOND DECEMBER WINNER Every month our team and residents recognize one team member for showing exceptional care

Shawn was recognized for going above and beyond.

Also pictured is DOC Kim Jay. Our Above and Beyond winner for December is Shawn Burns.

Shawn is great with our residents. We’ve had many kind words from residents about how much they love when Shawn is working. He’s friendly, compassionate and a team player. We are fortunate to have him at Andrews of Summerside.

Shawn started working with us an RCW two years ago. Prior to joining our team, he worked as a PSW in Ontario and briefly as on a mussel boat here in P.E.I. He said the best part of his day is getting to engage with the residents.

“I like working with the residents,” she said. “Making a difference for them makes life better for me.”

Outside of work, Shawn enjoys spending time trout fishing and hiking.
