About me

Gender Female

Occupation Registered Nurse
Location Te Atatu Peninsula, Auckland, New Zealand
Introduction I have been working in aged care since 1974. Have been a Charge Nurse, Owner & Manager of Aged Care Residential facilities. Have written two books on Aged Care, Life's an Illusion and The Art of Caregiving. Currently arrange up-skilling programms for Registered Nurses, Management training and inservice education in aged care facilities. I have 17 programmes I teach currently. My passion is to help people really understand the care they provide/give. To understand the privilege it is when someone allows us to look after their every need and it should never be taken for granted. Our role is to help people be the best they can be and when they leave this world, they make a peaceful transition. Each person has a particular journey to take and it is not up to any individual to criticise or judge a person for the choices they make, the path they have chosen or the experiences or misfortunes that may happen to them. This blog is a forum for all people who have an interest in the elderly to ask questions, to make comment and to reach out for support. Please feel free to share your knowledge and experience or to ask for answers to your queries.
