CEO’S COLUMN

SwanCare News SwanCare empowering future doctors with Curtin Medical School Curtin Medical School has teamed up with SwanCare to equip future medical practitioners with an understanding of healthy ageing and the challenges facing seniors.

The Senior Citizen Partnership Program pairs students up with a SwanCare resident or couple to improve student’s awareness of the needs and lives of their senior community members.

Welcome to the first edition of your new-look Tidings.

We have reinvigorated the publication to provide you with the essential news that you are after, as well as a diverse hub for residents to share their stories and knowledge.

As Tidings will now be a longer read, we have moved the publication to a bi-monthly rotation, meaning you will receive Tidings every second month.

In addition, alongside Tidings, we will publish and deliver to you a new monthly large-format “What’s On” guide which will provide the monthly calendar of events in and around the village.

We also continue with our other communication channels including our friendly onsite reception, SwanCareTV, our monthly SwanCare e-News, the Facebook page and website.

We trust you will enjoy the new Tidings.

If you have any thoughts, feedback and/ or stories to share, please get in touch.

You can call our news desk on 6250 0032 (Monday, Tuesdays and Fridays), email news@swancare.com.au, or drop into reception or see Margaret for those at Australind Rise.

Happy reading!

It is hoped the groupings will be maintained throughout the student’s five year degree, facilitating a longer term relationship and, ultimately, new doctors who have a deeper understanding of the lives of seniors.

Facial recognition technology keeping pain in check at SwanCare SwanCare will soon be engaging facialrecognition technology to assist seniors with dementia and who are experiencing pain but are unable to verbally express their discomfort.

SwanCare’s pilot of the PainChek application is one of the first clinical applications of the technology in Western Australia and will run across 15 residents in the secure wing at SwanCare’s Kingia Care Facility, with a view to extend use to in the home and palliative care.

PainChek is the first-of-its-kind automated facial recognition app - originally developed

by Curtin University researchers - that detects facial micro-expressions indicative of pain.

Previous research of the technology has shown that PainChek offers a valid and reliable new method to assess pain in people with moderate to severe dementia.

The present is rosy for SwanCare retirees

New face for SwanCare At Home

SwanCare has shown leading results in the largest national retirement village survey of its kind ever conducted.

SwanCare has welcomed a new staff member who is fast becoming a familiar face to SwanCare At Home clients.

The organisation exhibited outstanding results in a recent national survey of almost 20,000 residents from over 500 Australian retirement villages.

Megan Bell has joined Mechy at the SwanCare At Home administration office on Talbot Place to welcome home care clients, staff and visitors.

The results of the survey, which were published in The West Australia’s Saturday paper, found that while residents nationally had a positive Net Promotor Score (NPS) of 22, SwanCare almost tripled that with a NPS of 61.

Originally from New Zealand, Megan is a mother of one, an ex-motocross champion and skilled badminton player. Megan has many years’ experience in the retirement sector and brings much to the organisation.

The NPS is a universally accepted consumer satisfaction rating and scores as low as between 20 and 30 classified as favourable, 10-20 are average.

For more information about SwanCare At Home, or to simply say hello, pop into 19 Talbot Place, or call 6250 0300.

Moving On: SwanCare Developments

Hair at Swan all set Adie Court will soon become SwanCare Bentley Park’s main street with the hairdresser and grocery store both set to move in.

“We are really looking forward to the move into the new premises and can’t wait to see the finished salon,” Karyssa Litis from Hair at Swan said. “We are excited to be on Adie Court amongst the hustle and bustle with our new neighbours from the grocery store and Sophia’s.”

The grocery store is also looking forward to joining the hustle and bustle of Adie Court.

NBN update Work has finally started on the National Broadband Network (NBN) being delivered to SwanCare Bentley Park residents.

The NBN will be made available to all residents who currently receive their internet and phone services over existing copper phone lines. SwanCare network residents will not receive NBN at this time and will continue to be serviced by SwanCare’s network.

NBN contractors have been working along Adie Court as they install and commission the equipment. Once a completion date has been set, it will be communicated to all residents.

Prior to the NBN becoming available for residents, SwanCare’s IT Manager Colin Manes will hold an information session for residents to provide general advice around the NBN

and allow you the opportunity you to ask any questions you may have.

SwanCare highly recommends that you do your research before agreeing to any new plans or signing up for any services. There’s no rush - you will have 18 months to make a decision.

It has been noted that there have been some aggressive sales of NBN services by some organisations who might sign you up for a plan that may not be 100% suitable for you.

As always, the SwanCare IT team is available for any questions that you might have.

New Lift for Richard Cleaver Recently SwanCare has been working with ThyssenKrupp Elevators to implement a lift modernisation program.

So far we have installed two lifts in Tandara Care Facility, two lifts at Mavis Cleaver Court and one lift at Richard Cleaver Lodge.

A second lift modernisation at RCL is now underway.

The remaining lifts at SwanCare will follow in due course.

SwanCare to launch new website Alongside the introduction of the new-look Tidings, SwanCare will also soon launch its new website – www.swancare.com.au.

The new website will be a simplified space where residents and the wider community can learn more about SwanCare. Included will be virtual tours, videos, interesting articles and much more.

The website was developed

by SwanCare’s marketing partners at The Hub Marketing Communications.

Village Happenings

Line dancing Monday mornings.

Line dancing for fitness, balance and coordination Every now and then staff from SwanCare’s administration take part in line dancing on a Monday morning. The last session in April was a good reminder to staff how much fun – and pleasantly challenging – line dancing is.

The moves require your undivided attention – start thinking about what’s for dinner and you’ll make a mistake for sure (not that it matters!).

Comfortable shoes and cool clothing is a must – some of us started the hour class wearing a jumper or jacket which were stripped off by the third song as our heartbeats increased.

What’s more, the turns and gentle twists are excellent for your balance.

Try it out, it’s great for you.

Line dancing is on every Monday morning (except special events/public holidays) at 9.30am, in the SwanCare Auditorium. Followed by morning tea.

For enquiries call Pam on 9470 4139.

New choir ramps up SwanCare Bentley Park’s long-awaited choir group has started and is increasing in numbers each week.

The group is headed up by Maureen Grickage and Bev Chisolm and has started to meet on Tuesday afternoons at 4pm in the Stratton Centre.

Help needed for Social Club The SwanCare Bentley Park Social Club is currently seeking residents who can spare some time to help behind the scenes.

Social Club President Shirley Barnes said that help is needed around “…being involved in the planning and preliminaries required for activities as the committee has been below strength for the last three years. It is time for some new blood and new ideas.”

If you are interested in finding out more, Shirley invites you to join her for a coffee to discuss - call 6250 0558.

Justice of the Peace

The Swan Village Bowling Club was deeply saddened by the recent passing of our social convenor Hazel Lancaster. Hazel has been a staunch supporter of the club since her election to the committee in 2008, including two years as president. The Club was very well represented at the funeral and we extend our deepest sympathy to her family.

Australind Snippets

Dragon boating for fun, fitness and breast cancer SwanCare Australind Rise resident, Roslyn Webb is a go-getter, an accredited Dragon Boat rowing coach and sweep, a breast cancer survivor and the motivating force behind the Bunbury Crewsaders Dragon Boat team who finished first in the 200m Splash and Dash at Champion Lakes recently.

In the Crewsaders’ first regatta at Champion Lakes in Perth, the team were thrilled to out paddle more experienced teams the Albany Pirates and the Amazons.

Ros said it was an excellent result for the team, which is comprised of breast cancer survivors and their supporters.

“Our crew ranges in age from the oldest, who is 73 to the youngest, Lily who, at 12 years old is our drummer and loves coming to training to support her Nan,” Ros said. “We train twice a week and aside from the paddling, we enjoy a laugh and a joke and a good chat – if that is what the team needs.”

Dragon boating is one of the fastest growing water sports in Australia. The 12 metre long fibreglass boats are brightly painted and decorated with a dragon head and tail for racing. Twenty paddlers sit side-by-side on ten benches, while the sweep steers the boat and a drummer beats a large drum at the bow.

The Crewsaders team is affiliated with Dragons Abreast, an international organisation founded following Canadian research into the benefits of Dragon Boat paddling to encourage upper body movement for post-operative rehabilitation for breast cancer patients.

At more than 12 metres long the boats are tricky to store, so Ros was glad to have the support of Australind Rise to store the boat when required.

The Crewsaders are the only WA team representing Dragon’s Abreast, but there are 40 across Australia and more than 120 internationally, with international regattas held every four years.

“The event begins with the flag being raised by the youngest breast cancer survivor who is 25 and concludes when the flag is lowered by the oldest breast cancer survivor who is 92.

You can imagine there is a lot of laughter, a lot of friendship and also a lot of tears as we celebrate fun and fitness but also remember those who did not survive their breast cancer fight,” Ros said.

What I know

A Poem by John Bates, Mavis Cleaver Court

The Telephone We got a brand new telephone just the other day A ripper brand new cordless thing not a toy to play You take it all around the house and answer when it rings It saves a lot of leg power and falling over things.

There’s re-dial with the call display and numbers it stores many It’s great you even take it to the loo to spend a penny There’s many other things it does like channel switch and page Anyone can use these things no matter what their age.

It’s great to have these fancy things especially when they’re new Oh Gawd! We’re really in strife now, the bloody power blew These phones won’t work unless you have 240 volt you see Unless you have a back-up phone no phone calls there will be.

You need to have a simple phone like we used to use In days when Telecom was ‘round, we’d bash it and abuse But that damn thing just kept on going never matter what They seemed to last for ever and never ever rot.

But my new phone is super great it’s always by my hand Oh bum! I’m in for trouble now I dropped it in the sand, Nah that’s OK it’s waterproof it doesn’t seem to matter It carries on just like before with chitter chitter chatter.

The battery lasts for hours and hours before it needs a charge But when it goes out flat it’s while you’re talking by and large The red light flashes just before the flamin’ thing cuts out It ain’t no use till charged again no matter how you shout.

Ring-ring, ring-ring, who’s calling me I wonder where it is I think it’s under all that stuff gawd that turned out a fizz Ah there it is it’s found at last the sound is getting stronger Oh bum! Damn blast, they’ve hung up now, they couldn’t hold on longer.

I used to trace the cord around to find our older phone You’d clear the papers, books and things your senses it would hone So are these brand new fancy things, as good as they make out Or should we when the power goes, just stand outside and shout.

Feature Story

Three decades of seeking the perfect book Entertaining the SwanCare community by finding readers the perfect book motivates Librarian Penny Felder, whose three decades of employment are being celebrated at SwanCare Bentley Park.

Helping people is Mrs Felder’s passion and helping residents find a great book they will enjoy reading is a great reward.

Mrs Felder said the community built around the retirement living complex library is a special one: “We have a consistent bunch of regulars and I love that the library has become something of a “social hub”,” she said. “I have a team of great volunteers who help deliver books to house-bound readers. This simple task allows people to forge connections - continuing to grow our community and providing a sense of purpose to those villagers who are physically able.

12 SwanCare

“To many of our readers the library is their second home, and to be honest it is mine too! I have known one particular resident since I started here. In many ways she was like a mum to me,” Mrs Felder recalled fondly.

SwanCare CEO Graham Francis said, “30 years is incredible! Our library is a tremendous resource that is testament to Penny’s dedication and enthusiasm.

Penny is our librarian, our colleague and our friend and I am so proud of all she has achieved and all she continues to achieve in the library and in binding our community.”

“We have built a great community amongst our readers and I am proud that the library has become one of the key attractions at the village for new and potential residents,” he continued.

Penny reminisces about the ever-changing working landscape and recalls fondly bringing her small children with her to work: “It was a special time when I started here, to have been able to return to work following my maternity leave and bring my children with me. As they grew a little older they went to day care and would spend less holiday time with me at work, and more with Mum and Dad on the farm in Kojonup where I grew up.”

Mrs Felder said the library is continuing to evolve with developments in technology.

The library now boasts more than 4,500 books, doubling its size since she began in a tiny little room catalogued by cards and envelopes, to becoming a digitised annex of the local library.

“When I started my library career at SwanCare the library was catalogued under the Browne Issue System with little cards and envelopes in the front of the books.

Today, we utilise the digital Amlib system and operate as a branch of the local library,” Mrs Felder said.

“Increasingly our residents use their tablets to access the digital books we have on catalogue. I encourage readers to bring their tablets into the library so I can teach them to download the e-books and use the online resources,” she continued.

Mrs Felder is modest in encapsulating her career at SwanCare: “I hope I create a welcoming environment where the community can have valuable interactions.

I know I have valuable interactions with them! Overall I have stayed for the wonderful residents and, after 30 years, I am proud of what I have achieved. I am happy in my job and I feel secure in that SwanCare are happy to have me, after all these celebrations I know they care about me.”

Resident Story

The sky is the limit

Claude has been at SwanCare Bentley Park for 12 years. He was born around the corner in Victoria Park.

When Claude Morris turned 90 last year, he knew exactly how he wanted to celebrate. He wanted to jump out of a plane at 13,000 feet.

Alas, this wasn’t possible, so instead settled for a flight in “the tunnel” at Perth’s new indoor skydiving facility.

The idea didn’t come on a whim either, for Claude has a lifelong passion for skydiving.

47 years ago in 1971, Claude sat on the beach in Safety Bay and noticed colourful parachutes falling from the sky and landing nearby. He went on over to chat to the skydivers who inspired him to give it ago. He went for it and has been “hooked ever since.”

“In fact,” laughs Claude. “Once after my parachute was up, I glided for some time only a few meters from a large eagle. He looked at me and I looked at him, I’m not sure who was more surprised!”

Claude’s skydiving bug has well and truly spread to his daughter and two sons, with the three of them racking up thousands of jumps themselves.

So, what is about skydiving that has Claude hooked?

Skydiving is not the only adrenaline-inducing sports that Claude has participated in. In the 50s he was known as “Curly Morris” - a smiling, daring motorbike racer at the Perth Speedway.

He suffered some fairly ghastly injuries from this sport, which Claude describes as “much more dangerous than jumping out of a plane.”

“The rush mainly,” explains Claude. “It’s in the anticipation of the jump and then it’s in the fall – for just a moment you’re flying with the birds.”

But Claude is so much more than a skydiver or speedracer, he’s a classical music-lover, tenahorn player, beloved father and, according to old reports, a pretty accomplished knitter too.

Between 1971 and 1995 Claude completed 344 skydives.

Letters to the Editor With the recent Tidings obituary for Mavis Cleaver, and the accompanying article about her husband Richard and his role in the establishment of SwanCare Bentley Park, some of us ‘newer’ residents were able to learn about the naming of Richard Cleaver Lodge and Mavis Cleaver Court.

The coming demolition of some buildings for the new care facility and the leisure centre, make me wonder about the naming of some other places, such as Ningana and Cooinda (soon to be no more), and Peter’s Pavilion. It would be good if someone could share with us the origins of many of our village place names.

What did Guy Murray do that caused a bowling rink to be named after him? Was Pemberton a person like Drummond, or is the street named after the town in the south? Who or what was Banham?

Pine Mews and Plantation Drive point us, of course, to the pine plantation that stood on our village site before development began, but why was Millstream named that; and what is the source of Beelu and Solandri? And before the shop moves to its new location on Adie Court, can someone tell us about the original use of that building?

Perhaps someone could do a series of articles that would answer these questions, before some of the answers are lost with the buildings that they presently complement.

Bruce May, Drummond Way

Dear Bruce, Hello and thank you for being our very first contributor to the Letters to the Editor section in the new Tidings.

One of SwanCare’s strengths is our strong history and it is certainly something to be celebrated.

What a great idea – the many different names that are featured on the sign posts around Bentley Park all carry a story of their own.

So between this edition and next we’ll dust off our history books and pull together something that we hope will answer some of your questions.

As a bit of a taster, we know that the Ranyard Centre was named after Phyllis and Norman Ranyard, who Richard Cleaver called ‘lovers of SwanCare’ and were generous donors to the bowling club and surrounding community centre.

Bollig Gardens was named after John Bollig who was a migrant designer and architect who has been credited for many village designs.

If there are any residents reading this that have some information to share about SwanCare’s history, we’d love to hear from you too. Email news@swancare.com.au or leave a message at 6250 0032.

5 REASONS TO EAT POTATO

Super spuds Forget superfoods like hemp seed, chia or goji berries, the real superfoods are actually everyday heroes – like the humble spud.

Potatoes are a beautiful source of vegetablebased carbohydrate, they’re high in vitamins and minerals, low in fat and a brim full of antioxidants. They also happen to be great winter comfort food.

DID YOU KNOW? Cooked, cold potatoes (like potato salad) are high in a type of fibre called resistant starch.

Studies show that resistant starch supports gut bacteria and can protect against the genetic damage that precedes bowel cancer.

Source - CSIRO

1. Quality carbs. Our bodies need carbohydrates to give us energy, especially for our carb-craving brains. Potatoes are a complex carbohydrate meaning they are a lasting source of energy for your body.

2. Vitamins & Minerals. Who knew that potatoes have more vitamin C than oranges?! Potatoes are also a source of vitamin B6 and folate.

Potatoes are a source of essential dietary minerals like potassium and iron.

3. So cheap! With the opening of The Spud Shed at Bentley Plaza, you can pick up washed, glorious potatoes for 25 cents a kilo. What could be cheaper?

4. Fat free. With 0.1g of fat per 100 grams, potatoes are virtually fat free.

5. Full of fibre. WA Potatoes tells us that potatoes have 20% more fibre than pasta and more than double the fibre of white rice.
