Residential Gardens | 11 adds. According to her, having a caring and compassionate workforce is the most important thing in the aged care sector. A provider has to get that right above all else. “We have to make sure everyone is responsible and has a broad skill set, and we have to make sure we have people for every role that our residents need filled,” Marta says. “At Residential Gardens, we have managers, doctors, nurses, pediatricians, therapists, cooks, clearners, everything possible.” “That’s not all,” she adds. “I make personally sure to be a part of every group too, to join in the kitchen and set an example for everyone. We also make a point to hire a lot of younger staff – residential care, like a number of areas, doesn’t give many opportunities to the inexperienced. They get out of universities and no one opens the door. We want to give them that opportunity.” This work has not gone unnoticed.
