Residents of Thembalami Care Centre and the Max Ordman Deaf Association enjoyed an afternoon of friendly competition when the Edenvale Lions Club hosted a lively game of card bingo on May 24.
Residents gathered to take part in the games, socialise and enjoy refreshments brought by the Lions Club, including cake and sandwiches.
According to Thembalami Care Centre deputy manager Elize Raath, the visit was a memorable one for everyone involved.
“According to the leader of the group, Evelyn Herzfeld, the afternoon with our residents went fabulously. She was thrilled with how everybody enjoyed themselves,” says Elize.
Peggy Kupa from the occupational therapy department was on duty during the event to help ensure everything ran smoothly.
She describes the afternoon as ‘fun and engaging’.
Bingo winners were rewarded with special treats, adding excitement to the games and encouraging residents to participate enthusiastically.
“It was wonderful to see the residents smiling and socialising,” says Peggy.
Elize adds that the visit had a positive impact on the residents’ moods and engagement levels.
