“I consider myself very fortunate that I am still able to express myself through music, and to enjoy making music with others,” says Salvos Home Care Client, Wyverne. “This gives me so much joy. It also delights me to see the look on the faces of the people singing in the choir.” Wyverne has been a Salvos Home Care Client since 2021, when she relocated from Victoria to Queensland.
“Caring from the heart, for me as a nurse, is about empathy,” says Salvation Army’s Head of Aged Care, Angela Raguz. “It's about knowing and understanding every individual and thinking about what meets that person's needs. It's not always what we think is best; it's often about listening and relating to what the other person wants.”
“I have found the Home Care workers have been exceptionally respectful to older people and they have a very kind and caring attitude,” tells Salvos Home Care South Australia client, Karen, of her Home Care experience to date. “They seem to have compassion and understanding.”
“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.”
“I was inspired by Yvonne’s inner strength because she has set goals for herself and made a purpose for her life, always striving to fulfill her duties and find peace,” says Gill Waminda Aged Care Centre’s (“Gill Waminda”) Lifestyle Coordinator, Leah Staples, of a recent resident to the Centre, Yvonne. “Yvonne has built up resilience to help her through the tough times.”
The Residential Services Five Pillars of Aged Care Excellence (“the Five Pillars”) were developed by the General Manager of Residential Services, Tony Stephenson, as part of The Salvation Army Aged Care’s new Strategic Plan and launched at the 2023 Centre Managers Conference.
Salvos Home Care, The Salvation Army Aged Care’s in-home care division, expands its services in South Australia, with Simon Pavelic as Home Care Manager. The new service works with clients to develop personalised care plans, which are focused on enhancing independence, health, and wellbeing, and which can be adjusted if a client’s needs change.
When asked about his experience at The Cairns Aged Care Centre, resident Geoff, cannot speak highly enough. “You will not find a better place; it’s just run so well,” he says. “You’ve got 24/7 medical care, good food, you get all your laundry done for you. You won’t find anywhere as good as The Cairns!”
“I moved to Australia in 2013 and began my journey at Macquarie Lodge at the age of 21,” tells Kate Pineda, the Care Manager of Macquarie Lodge Aged Care Centre (“Macquarie Lodge”). Kate recently celebrated ten years of work at the Centre and, throughout her time, has progressed in her role, first starting as a Care Service Employee in 2013, before becoming a Registered Nurse in 2017, the Clinical Coordinator in 2019. She has been the Care Manager since 2021.
As the chill of winter gave way to the warmth of spring, the residents at Riverview Gardens Aged Care Centre couldn't have been happier. They decided to embrace the warmer weather and the burst of colours that Spring brought with it. In a heartwarming celebration of the season, they organised a Spring themed high tea and a visit to the enchanting Carnival of Flowers.
It's time to put on your bell-bottoms and groove to the disco beats because Riverview Gardens Aged Care Centre just turned 51! The centre, which first opened its doors in the 1970s, recently celebrated its 51st birthday in true 70s style. From the themed decorations to the groovy tunes, this milestone was a blast from the past, transporting residents and guests back to a time of peace, love, and timeless music.
It's that time of the year in Goulburn – the Goulburn Lilac City Festival! Last week, the Gill Waminda Aged Care Centre transformed into a haven of lilac, spreading cheer and warmth through their lilac-themed celebration.
The Salvation Army Aged Care acknowledges all who make it their mission to care for others. However, sometimes even heroes need a break. Respite care is for caregivers in the community who may be seeking temporary respite from their role.
