Meet Lisa, an Assistant in Nursing at Regis Port Macquarie, who has been making a positive difference in the lives of the elderly since 2016. Lisa joined Regis with the goal of making a meaningful impact on the elderly population and has been doing exactly that, day in and day out.
With her vast experience, Lisa has taken on various roles at Regis, including Assistant in Nursing, Medications, Laundry, and Receptionist, making her a multi-skilled and valuable member of the team. She is proud to be a part of such an amazing team who strive to be their best and provide the best care for their residents.
Lisa’s typical day at work is busy; she attends to the general needs of everyday living and ensures that the residents are well taken care of. From getting them ready for the day, to attending meal service, to taking them to activities, Lisa is there every step of the way, not just physically, but emotionally as well. Her role requires her to be not just a caretaker but also a listener, a shoulder to cry on, and a source of comfort for the residents.
Working with the elderly has been one of the most fulfilling experiences for Lisa. She loves interacting with them and learning about their amazing stories and memories. It’s a privilege for her to be a part of their lives, making a positive impact and putting a smile on their faces.
For those looking to pursue a career in aged care, Lisa’s advice is that it is not an easy job, but the reward it brings is unparalleled. Being able to comfort someone in their last days or hours and bring a smile to their face makes it all worth it.
Outside of work, Lisa is a beach-lover and loves going for a swim, having picnics, and taking road trips. Most importantly, she loves spending time with her two beautiful daughters and her family, making memories that last a lifetime.
