Nurse Uncut Australia
Submission from Camden Nursing Home-2
By Janine Holdsworth, Camden Nursing Home, 78 Old Hume Highway

We are a 104 bed nursing home that is divided into 3 sections. We hold an internal Christmas decoration competition between the 3 sections, the DT department, the GSO’s and Management.
Management invites our Aged Care Support Manager from Head Office to come to the facility where the theme draw is undertaken. He then comes back and judges. There is no prize as such, however the winner gets there sections name engraved on the “perpetual tray”.
It is great to watch the staff become involved and the residents and their families get such a kick out of watching the areas take shape and a very festive feel flows around the Nursing Home.
So now that I have given you a bit of a background to our decoration mania I have been asked by the staff not to select 1 photo but to send in a photo of each section. The most difficult task is which photo’s to send as behind every door and along every corridor is another Christmas related theme. The home itself is well over 150years old and has narrow corridors and very high ceilings, so decorating can be a challenge. The staff have become very creative and the use of fishing line and blu tak are the essential tools they require.
Find attached a small selection of photos for the competition.
