Aged Care Employees Day- A Beautiful Expression of Thanks

Every August 7th , we celebrate Aged Care Employees Day, where all of our Twilight Family, from the CEO and Corporate teams to our indispensable catering, hospitality, maintenance and gardening teams, nurses, physios,  and of course our wonderful personal carers are acknowledged for the care, services and support they provide to our residents, every single day.

Our Grace Gardens Facility Manager says it perfectly :

“Thank you for the early mornings, the late nights, the missed lunches, and the moments you go home and still worry if that one resident seemed “just a little off today.”

Thank you for choosing this work. It is not for the faint of heart. But it is for the kind, the strong, the brave—and that is who you are.

Today, and every day, you deserve to be celebrated.”

A Wall of Thanks

 At Grace Gardens , residents and family members were invited to express their feelings about their Twilight Staff Family. The comments are both heartwarming and an affirmation of the depth of care and kindness that connects us, and of the Twilight values of respect, commitment, integrity and compassion in action.

 

Around our homes, we celebrated. From bedmaking and table laying competitions judged by residents, to feasting, certificates ( and  LOTS of balloons!) our whole Twilight Family came together to acknowledge the special day.
