Aged Care Employee Day recognises each and every team member involved in caring for the 1.3 million older Australians receiving home care or residential care services on 7 August.
This year’s theme, Thanks for Caring pays tribute to nurses and care workers, allied health professionals, hospitality teams, drivers, cleaners, volunteers, lifestyle officers, administration staff and many, many others.
It takes an extraordinary amount of skill, patience, and heart to care for the aged individuals living through their twilight years.
Megan D’Elton from Infinity Homecare in Noosa said happy Aged Care Employee Day to their team at Infinity Home Care.
“Thank you to all our amazing employees of Infinity Home Care. Thank you for everything you do for our Infinity clients,“ she said.
“Each and every day you come to work to deliver care and services by supporting our clients to remain living independently in their own homes.
“It’s a new era of aged care, where clients demand flexible care in their own homes. You support their choices, you are exceptional individuals
“You devote quality one on one time with your client, by forming meaningful relationships built on trust and respect.“
Australians are invited to post videos on social media to say #ThanksforCaring.
