Meet Faith, our Registered Nurse who loves making a difference to residents’ lives
Faith joined us in 2022 from Abu Dhabi, after growing up and training in the Philippines. Inspired by her close relationship with her grandparents, she loves taking care of residents, treating them like her own family.
Why did you choose Nursing in aged care over a hospital setting?
Some of my fondest memories are of my grandparents taking care of me and my sister. I first became a Nurse so that I could eventually take care of them. Here, I love making a difference to residents and making them happy. They always comment when I have something bright on, so I wear things just to make them smile.
How would you describe Alexandra Gardens?
We’re one big family! We’re like siblings who work together to put the needs of residents first. I feel so incredibly lucky to work here.
How are you supported by your leadership team?
We have a great leadership structure, with very open and honest communication. When I first arrived, Sandra was very flexible and accommodating as I continued my studies to retrain as a Registered Nurse in Australia.
How are you supported by Apollo Care?
The Apollo Care systems make the job of providing excellent care to residents so much easier. For example, our new medication system, Best Med, means we no longer need to interpret doctor’s instructions or handwriting – it’s all there and easily accessible. Apollo Care also provided amazing support to help bring my husband and two children to Australia.
