Community Aged care celebrates first anniversary

Maryborough

Community Aged Care celebrated their first birthday on the 26th of April this year.

General Manager of Client Services Martin Jones said that the past twelve months had been incredibly positive for the brand-new facility, reaching maximum occupancy in only a few short months and providing much needed employment for many people in the community.

As host, Maryborough’s Town Crier Ken Ashford will not be able to compete. (Supplied) titles of:

• Champion of Champions

• Loudest Cry

• Most Extravagant Outfit.

To win the Championship, each participant Crier performs two cries up to 125 words each. One is about their hometown and another about the host town, with three judges determining the winner.

Cries are judged on poise, bearing, confidence, clarity, content, pitch and protocol.

“There is always something on offer for residents and their families with a busy activities calendar, access to cinemas, billiard room, beautiful lounge spaces and an incredible outdoor entertainment area for all to enjoy.”

As you would expect, a community of this size and grandeur requires a multitude of talented and caring team members.

One of those incredible team members is Cherylee Baker who has recently been promoted to the role of Residential Manager. Cherylee has worked in the Aged Care industry for 25 years and has a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Cherylee understands the importance of having a high functioning team who not only provide care and support for the residents and their families, but also support and encourage each other; working together to make the home a real community for all involved.

“It is a great opportunity to work with such compassionate people who come with a caring heart for those living in the home.

“We aim to ensure those living with us are well cared for, enjoy their lives with us whilst creating opportunities, happiness and friendships.” she said.

“We are one big happy extended family.”

As a family-run business, the home understands that having the right team in place is an essential part of their success and take pride in engaging qualified people who share in their values.
