I started my journey in Aged Care in 2005 in Goondiwindi and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was employed by Kalomo Home for the Aged as the CAPS Co-ordinator which concentrated on keeping the elderly in the community at home. The package consisted of delivering meals, light cleaning, personal care, medication assistance and socialising. I was also exposed to High and Low Care and Dementia within the facility. The past 5 years I have spent caring for a gentleman with Parkinson's Disease. I am required to shower and toilet him, assist with general grooming and medication. I take him to appointments and to social outings with friends and family. He requires 24/7 care at home and I am part of a team of 6 other ladies.
