At Home with Colleen and Lloyd

on Thursday, February 20, 2025

Colleen has been a Care Connect client for a little over 12 months. She has a Home Care Package and was initially with another provider, but wanted something more. A friend whose mother was a Care Connect client recommended the not-for-profit, and Colleen made the switch. Which is when she met Care Manager Donna, and she “couldn’t be happier…Donna is delightful…she’s so lovely.”

“Life before I came in here was one hell of a mess,” tells Gill Waminda Aged Care Centre resident and NDIS client, Brian. “It was my own fault to let it get that way, but it got that far, and I couldn’t do anything about it.” Today, five years since he first arrived at the Centre, his NDIS Support Worker, Amy, proudly reflects of Brian’s transformation. “Brian has been fully rehabilitated in the five years he’s been here,” she says. “He is very proud of the man he is today.”

on Tuesday, February 18, 2025

For Resthaven Mitcham resident Anne Joyce, it’s almost as if things have come full circle. Anne enjoyed a 22-year career at the Resthaven site, and in May 2024 returned to her old stomping ground as a resident.

Sharing a birth year with Resthaven – both are celebrating 90 years in 2025 – Anne says that a life of hard work and dedication has brought her great satisfaction. It was a chance meeting in the car park that led to her employment at Resthaven.
