Residents have a holiday

Eight residents from the Woy Woy Community Aged Care Nursing Home recently enjoyed a two-day holiday at O'Carrollyns at One Mile Beach, according to director of nursing Ms Margaret Khan.

"O'Carrollyns have fully equipped cabins set in five acres of bushland at One Mile Beach, Port Stephens," Ms Khan said.

"The cabins are fully accessible for the disabled, and are set in secluded bushland.

"This is the second year that the residents have had the opportunity to experience a holiday away from the nursing home with the staff."

Six carers and two volunteers accompanied the residents.

"A dolphin cruise was enjoyed on the second day of the holiday, an afternoon tea followed at the Nelson Bay Marina," Ms Khan said.

Retiring Woy Woy Community Aged Care board of directors chairman Mr Albert Quilkey and his wife Margaret also attended the dolphin cruise.

"Staff entertained residents with a concert on the last night," said Ms Khan.

"We all look forward to returning to the same resort next year as everyone had such a wonderful time."
