Housekeeping Notices
- In the near future we will be organizing to get a photo record of all residents who have returned their paperwork concerning the “Direction Regarding NON USE of the Defibrillator”. To ensure your wishes are complied with, these photographs will be displayed near the defibrillator opposite the resident mail boxes. If you do NOT wish to have the defibrillator used on you in an emergency, please ensure that you return the relevant paperwork to Alexia promptly.
- While most of the COVID restrictions have been lifted by the government, Hester Canterbury residents are in one of the most vulnerable demographics particularly as winter and flu season are imminent. It is highly recommended as best practice that all residents wear a face mask when out of the building and in public. Please continue to sanitize your hands frequently. It is important to get the flu vaccine as soon as possible. We all have a part to play in keeping our community safe.
Week One of the Autumn Menu starts on Monday 16 May.
Please place any orders by lunchtime the Thursday before.
Bon Appetit!
