Why do staff use their phones at work?
Have you seen the staff using their phones at work?
Don’t worry… they are working!
Menno Place has been moving away from paper and toward electronic work tasks, care tasks and recording of information. This means that many of the care staff, laundry team, maintenance workers and others carry a phone with them that tells them their tasks for the day.
This has resulted in an increased level of efficiency and quality of work. The care staff will be using new software with phones to easily access resident’s care needs and provide the care they need with accuracy, ease and clarity.
If you see someone using their phone at work, be assured, they are probably working!
If you have any questions or concerns, please ask a nurse or receptionist. They will be able to answer your questions or guide you to the person who can!

Birdfeeders at Menno Place
All of the birdseed birdfeeders on the campus are being removed in an effort to reduce the attraction of the bird feed to various rodents, including rats.
Birdfeeders are being stored at the back of the Hospital chapel for your retrieval – close to the Shipping and Delivery entrance. This area can be accessed through the parking lot located between Primrose Gardens and Menno Home on Brundige Avenue.
If you live in the Apartments, your birdfeeder will be returned to you directly.
Birdfeeders have been a challenge over the years at Menno Place as they may attract rats and rodents, especially in the cooler winter months.
A team will be set up to explore the options for next year and a wild bird expert will be consulted. We hope that we can find a solution to this problem that will allow our residents to enjoy the pleasure of bird watching once again.
Hummingbird feeders will not be removed.
