A New New Caretaker

Leave a Reply

We are sorry to have to inform you that due to family matters our caretaker, Paulo, has had to resign in order to return to Portugal urgently.  As a result, we have been interviewing for a replacement caretaker over the last few days.

On the other-hand, we are happy to inform you that the successful candidate is Michael O’Neil, who applied for the role after being sent to Regatta Point as an emergency replacement for Paulo.  Consequently, many of you may have already met Michael or seen him at work.

If you haven’t had the chance, please introduce yourself you Michael and make him welcome.

Gym re-opened

Leave a Reply

We are pleased to be able to inform you that the gym has re-opened following the delay caused by unforeseen (and budgeted)  work and the lead-time on ordering the new floor.

I hope you will join us in agreeing that the windows, new lights, flooring and decoration have improved the room as has the creation of just a little more space following the removal of the end wall.

We will be replacing the door with one that matches the rest of Regatta Point in the near future but, if those of you that use the gym, could let us know what you think about the equipment and any improvements we could make on that front – please leave a comment in the book on the desk or post a comment on this update.

Welcome Paulo Gomes

Leave a Reply

We are pleased to welcome our new Caretaker, Paolo Gomes to Regatta Point on his first day on site.

Paulo will take over from Oscar Rivera, who leaves at the end of this week, in order to pursue his career elsewhere.  Oscar has done a great job in his time here, so Paulo has a hard act to follow.

Paulo has plenty of experience in looking after residents and people in various previous roles and should be well skilled to pick up the reigns.  As an added bonus he speaks English, Portuguese and French.

If you see him, please introduce yourself and make him feel welcome.
