Good morning everyone, I am a new Golden carers member, For years I heard about the Golden carers website but I was always hesitating to join the team. Today I just started joining, the reason why is as I work with elderly since I was a kid looking after my grand father and nursing him in his last year of illness. I came to Australia in 2016, and by luck again, I started working with seniors consumers in different nursing homes, retirement villages and care centres, year after year having passion to learn more and discover new activities to fulfill the day for elderly consumers and letting them join and be encouraged to participate in different activities, therefore I find the Golden carers program is excellent fit and suitable for my future carer as I am now I DT (diversionary therapy) helping me understand and improve more my skills and knowledge , thank you Golden carers to let me be a new member.
