Aged Care Angel Celebrated at Arcare North Lakes

Arcare North Lakes’ (QLD) Personal Care Worker and Physio Aide Atsuko ‘Azy’ Inada has been a dedicated team member for the last 12 years.

She joined the community when the aged care residence first opened in 2009 and Azy shares with us a memorable moment that made an impact on her.

“When I first started working at Arcare, I was pregnant. I appreciated the fact that Arcare hired me and my team actually cared about me and my pregnancy – this includes management, care staff and residents. I had only worked three months before giving birth, but they organised a surprise baby shower for me. I didn’t have any family in Australia, except for my husband at that time so we were really moved. I feel very appreciated and I’m very impressed by how Arcare has supported me,” shared Azy.

To Azy, being part of the lives of the Arcare North Lakes’ residents is a privilege.

“I talk to the residents, we sing, dance, and laugh together; seeing their smiles just makes me happy.”

Azy was recently recognised by the wider community for her dedication and Relationship-First Approach to the residents.

Out of 500 nominations, Azy was crowned an 'Aged Care Angel' as part of HelloCare’s Aged Care Angels Awards.

Arcare is thrilled to have 5-star team members exceeding expectations in the aged care sector.
