The Whiddon Group recognized that days like International Nurses Day didn’t cover a broad enough spectrum to show support and gratitude to all of the people who are involved in the care of the elderly, and took steps to change that. Almost 80% of the people who provide Aged Care aren’t nurses, doctors, or other medical professionals. They’re janitors, kitchen staff, laundry workers, and even volunteers who take time out of their day to ensure that our golden years are full of comfort and support.
While Nurses are an essential part of the Aged Care industry, things would simply grind to a stop without the help of the cleaners, cooks, drivers, hospitality teams, and laundry employees who deal with all the day to day minutiae that helps things move along smoothly. Throughout their work these individuals also interact with our loved ones, forming meaningful relationships and friendships that ensure that loneliness isn’t one of the experiences they have while in the facility.
