How we can help

I have spent 38 years working in aged care trying to make a change, usually on my own in an organisation where I was often told that my expectations are way too high.

You collect like-minded people along the way as your friends and colleagues like pebbles and pop them in your pocket for when you need them. It is hard work trying to change and imbedded culture.

When I saw a flyer about Anne’s Montessori course my first thought here we go,  another course with no practical application to help us to make a change, I still attended (still living in hope) , it was music to my ears simple practical ways to improve the lives of our residents in aged care.

It is the simple things in life that are important relationships, feeling valued, having choice, feeling safe and loved, having things to do, maintaining our independent even in a small way.

Anne Kelly is an inspiration and she has keeps me passionately trying to make a better life for our elderly and people living with dementia.
