Southcare Star Terry Defies Gravity

on Thursday, March 16, 2023

What’s at the top of your bucket list? For Southcare Star Terry, it’s defying gravity! So, when he asked to be taken to an indoor skydiving centre during his service visit, his Southcare team said, “start the car!”

“I have wanted to do this for the longest time and made it my new year’s resolution. I’m 69 this year and want to make the most of everyday.”

“I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I have always wanted to know what it feels like to fly,” Terry says.

“I had all the safety checks and knew I was in safe hands, even when the instructors let go and I was flying solo!”

Southcare visits Terry every week for social support in line with his approved care needs.

Community Support Worker Aashish drove Terry to the centre and helped get him organised and safety checked.

“We don’t always do things like this when we are together, but I enjoy getting out of the house driving to different places,” Terry says.
And where did Aashish take Terry for his next social support service?

To the Southcare office of course, to drop off Terry’s action-packed photo and pose for another to be shared with you! Hopefully Terry’s latest adventure inspire you to cross some things off your bucket list.
