ADRIEL HOUSE AND REST HOME<br />
8 <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>May</strong> <strong>14</strong>, <strong>2020</strong><br />
Adriel’srecipe for a<br />
fruitful lockdown<br />
There is abounty of fresh jam and<br />
baking in the larder at Adriel House<br />
and Rest Home.<br />
Residents at the Amberleybased<br />
home, which cares for those who have<br />
suffered memory loss, have been busy<br />
picking fruit, making jam, fruit<br />
crumbles, and baking during Covid19<br />
alert levels 3and 4.<br />
Owner Mischeal McCormick says<br />
the harvest has kept everyone busy,<br />
and this has led to alot of discussion<br />
about recipes and baking, which in<br />
turn has led to aphoto shoot, with a<br />
recipe book now on the menu.<br />
‘‘The recipes will definitely be tried<br />
and true. The harvest, baking and<br />
recipe book provided alot to talk<br />
about with relatives when they rang to<br />
talk to their loved ones over recent<br />
weeks,’’ Mischeal says.<br />
Staff and residents had all<br />
responded to the constraints of the<br />
Covid19 alert levels well. The home’s<br />
amazing diversional therapy staff<br />
developed aprogramme that ensures<br />
there is always plenty to do every day.<br />
Acircuit has been developed<br />
around the rest home to ensure<br />
residents get plenty of exercise. It has<br />
developed into a‘‘bit of aracetrack’’,<br />
with residents keen to walk around it,<br />
finding things to do and talk about<br />
along the way.<br />
‘‘The residents have been really<br />
active, which is great, and we have<br />
been really lucky everyone has got on<br />
board with the lockdown and<br />
supported each other.’’<br />

Mulholland, who joined the staff a<br />
couple of months ago to look after the<br />
daytoday running of the home, has<br />
fitted into life at Adriel well, and staff<br />
and residents are loving having her on<br />
the floor, Mischeal says.<br />
Zoom meetings are up and running<br />
and proved invaluable on Mother’s<br />
Day, with residents and family being<br />
able to see each other and have achat<br />
on the special day.<br />
‘‘We have tried to ensure residents<br />
have been able to keep in touch with<br />
family the whole way through these<br />
trying times,’’ Mischeal says.<br />
Support from the Ministry of Health<br />
and the <strong>Canterbury</strong> District Health<br />
Board has been invaluable.<br />
‘‘Everyone has come on board and<br />
worked together and kept us in touch<br />
every day, keeping us connected.’’<br />
Mischeal says because of the nature<br />
of Covid19, homes such as Adriel are<br />
vulnerable. However, protocols are in<br />
place and they have kept everyone<br />
safe and well.<br />
