The Residents House Committee are looking for pictures to hang in the passageways at Caister Lodge. If you have pictures that no longer serve a purpose in your home and you would like to assist, please leave the pictures at reception and arrangements will be made to have them placed in the passageways.

The Medical Services Manager, Sister Karen Breetzke, respectfully requests that residents please keep their distance during a medical emergency. Unsolicited advice can be highly detrimental to the immediate management of an emergency, especially when the advice is contradictory to that of the trained staff in charge. The Caister Medical staff are qualified and skilled in managing medical emergencies and are ultimately responsible for the patient outcome. Please do not interfere with the duties of the Medical Staff.

If you have a request for the House Committee, please ensure that you sign same before placing it in the Suggestion Box. Unsigned letters will not be placed on the agenda at the House Committee meetings.

Save the Date – Caister Residents Christmas Party will take place in the dining room from 12:00 noon on Wednesday, the 10th December.

It has been brought to my attention that some residents treat staff members with total disrespect, whether telephonically or in person. Please understand that these employees are human beings and deserve the same respect as you do.

Please continue to assist with the consumption of electricity and water and not use these utilities unnecessarily. For your information, please see the levels of the dams that feed the greater Durban area:

• Midmar Dam: 94.74%
• Hazelmere Dam: 99.55%
