Meet Nurse, Lily, who loves being a helping hand for the residents of Alexandra Gardens
Lily joined Alexandra Gardens three months ago and is enjoying making a difference in our community every day.
What do you love most about your role?
I enjoy being a helping hand for those who have lived their lives with dedication. Also, I spend a lot of time away from my parents and I miss them. The residents at Alexandra Gardens remind me of my parents, making me feel at home.
What is your favourite part of a day?
I love helping the residents prepare for bed. They make me feel comfy and I like to make them comfortable too. It’s a special time where I can share my stories and listen to their stories about their families or when they were young.
Why do you think PresCare Alexandra Gardens feels like home?
Every team member treats the residents like family or friends here, which is so lovely to see. We all work together to make this community welcoming and homely, so residents feel they belong.
What inspired you to pursue a career in aged care?
Working in aged care gives me a sense of purpose and meaning. Knowing that I am making a resident’s day better is deeply rewarding.
What would you say to other people considering working in aged care?
I strongly recommend it. The satisfaction, sense of accomplishment, and happiness it brings me makes it so worthwhile.
