Gaby and Eric are bridging generations

25 July 2024

An unlikely friendship has blossomed, despite an almost 80-year age difference between SCCQ Support Worker Gaby, and SCCQ Home Care client, Eric.

Gaby, 21, is a recent addition to our Home Care team in the Western Downs and has quickly become an invaluable member. Although new to working with the elderly, her compassion and dedication have made her a treasured friend of Eric’s, one of our valued clients in the region.

Eric, who will celebrate his remarkable 100th birthday next January, looks forward to Gaby’s regular visits where she assists him with housework and meal preparation, and they even venture out together to check on Eric’s cattle.

Living in the town of Miles, Gaby balances being a loving wife and mother to 14-month-old Ryleigh while working with SCCQ as a valued Support Worker.

Gaby has also recently begun her studies for a Certificate 3 supported by SCCQ, and we can’t wait to see her grow and achieve her goals.

The bond between Gaby and Eric highlights the profound impact our home care workers have on the lives of our clients.

It exemplifies the meaningful differences they make, fostering communities where the best lives are lived.

We deeply appreciate all our home care heroes who go above and beyond in their roles, enriching the lives of those they care for.
