Join us as we meet some of our amazing aged care workers.

Geeth's moving story cuts straight to the heart of what aged care is all about. 

“I stepped into aged care 7 years ago and it's been an incredible journey. 

Unlike the fleeting encounters with patients in a hospital setting, aged care lets me forge deep, lasting connections with residents over months and years. It's very fulfilling.

Recently one of my residents suffered a stroke. He was a huge cricket enthusiast and as I come from a cricket-loving Indian background, we had always enjoyed endless debates about the game! 

Post-stroke, communication became a challenge. One day I started to chat with him about the cricket as usual, and as I did, I could see the tears begin to fall silently down his cheeks.

I put the TV on for him and saw a program about Kohli – a famous Indian cricketer who we’d often argued about. I made a small joke about him to the resident, and he suddenly broke out in a huge smile. As I left, he managed to say – ‘you’re a good one.’

It made me realise, it's these small, everyday interactions that really touch people's lives in aged care.
