We give thanks for all the people who show their love and kindness at this time – below are some photos of the people who are reaching out – Thank you!
If you want to bring some treats, we would happily accept any gifts for our staff!
Here are some Do’s and Don’ts that will ensure we can accept the gifts:
  1. All food must be commercially prepared and individually packaged – cookies individually packaged, muffins.
  2. We will accept cut flowers for the staff to take a bundle when they leave their shift
  3. We love plants/bouquets in individual pots
  4. Do you have a special mug? Corporate mugs? We’d love them!
  5. Drinks! Gatorade, water, special individualized drinks – the staff are VERY hot under their PPE.
  6. Fastners to keep the mask elastics from pulling on ears
  7. Individually wrapped chocolates!!!!!!!
  8. Catered lunches – we didn’t accept this previously, but now do! Boston pizza provides individual mini-pizzas – ask for elementary school pricing.
  9. Individually wrapped sandwiches (commercially prepared)
  10. Personal size hand sanitizers
  11. Hand lotion
  12. Vitamins – yes! Bring on the energy!
  13. Cards – the residents are receiving cards – the staff would love to receive them, too.

ACTION:
  • This is the THIRD day that we have 0 positive cases!
  • We have a suggestion from a Housekeeper (former Visitation Host) on E2 Home – she is wondering if family would let Menno Place know if there is something that she could do for a resident as she cleans their room. She gave the example that she knows that a wife sings a German children’s song to her husband when she visits. Since she also knows German, she sang this song to the resident while cleaning his room. She is hoping that she can sing for other residents as well. Please email Sharon.Simpson@mennoplace.ca with any requests for residents in E2 Home.
