posted on our notice boards in each area.
Further improvements over the last month include,
a) Relocation of television antenna points and TV’s to larger areas in
both Sosna and Topolya.
b) Insulation of an additional air-conditioner in the front entrance.
c) Video intercom has been installed to the front door, which allows
staff to safety open the front door from both Maja Hrudka and
Sosna areas outside of business hours.
Just for Laughs
“Sugar why don’t you sit down by
the table and we’ll start supper.”
Said Dorothy to her Husband of 50
years. “Sure thing,” said her
husband settling himself down.
“Now darling, would you like the
soup first or the salad?”
Questioned Dorothy.
“Umm I guess I’ll take the soup.” He
responded.
After a whole meal of one
endearing term after another, their
guest Bob couldn’t contain his
curiosity any longer. Bob snuck into
the kitchen and asked, “Dorothy do
you always talk to your husband
like that?”
“Bob, I’ll be honest with you,”
Dorothy replied. “It’s been five
years now, I just can’t remember
his name, and I am just too
embarrassed to ask him!”

TRAFFIC FLOW & PARKING
I RESPECT U
Please be reminded about the changes in our car park.
There are road markings clearly marking the direction of traffic. Signage
stating where there is NO ENTRY.
All passenger vehicles are not permitted to TURN LEFT into the large
carpark. Entry is only via the roundabout and exit through the large
carpark. An exception is made for Trucks, as they are too large to exit
the facility through the car park due to the tight cornering...
Additionally, please DO NOT park in the MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS ONLY
designated car parking bay as; this is for doctors and any other Medical
Professionals.
It is essential that everyone follows the new Traffic Management plan,
as Kalyna Care will not be held accountable if you don’t.
