You don’t have to worry about being cared for in a place like this. There are beautiful, beautiful people who really and truly love us and look after us – and that’s what it’s about. I consider this to be my family.

When you support elderly people, or provide support to them, it makes a tremendous difference to their quality of life. I love to make them smile. Because that’s why they’re here and that’s why I work here – to make them happy and give them the best care.

You don’t lose anything by doing this. You gain a lot. We haven’t lost anything at all. We’ve gained more friendships and more time for ourselves and the things we enjoy. We can choose to do as much as we want to.

We should have made this move years ago, we have so much more time to spend enjoying the things we love to do and just relaxing together.
