Giving Five Minutes Will Make Their Day And Yours

Louise, who is the Administration Officer at Beaumont Care Mount Tamborine’s Roslyn Lodge, says that the key to loving your job in aged care is to take the time to chat to the residents every day.

“I have a soft spot for the residents. I find that by giving them five minutes of my time each day to have a chat then it really makes their day and mine,” said Louise.

Louise attributes her passion for making the residents day to her years growing up in a close-knit family.

“I was really lucky growing up. My grandparents lived across the road. We were a close family, and I had a really close connection with them. I think that’s why I enjoy talking to the residents so much,” said Louise.

“We talk about the latest Netflix shows or share our interests in diamond paintings. I like listening to their life stories – some of them have had the most amazing lives!”

Working at Beaumont Care Mount Tamborine has given Louise an even larger family to connect with.

“Because we are a small facility, it is very much like a family. Everyone knows each other. Most of the staff are local and our church is run by people who live on the mountain. All the residents know each other, and no-one gets left behind.”

Director Linda Beaumont says that the aged care home is an integral part of the local community.

“Our residents enjoy outings and activities and maintaining their connections in the local community. Many have come from the mountain, or their families live here,” said Linda.

“The home has a real community, family-like feel.”

Beautiful views with a rural outlook, tranquil gardens, quiet reading nooks, and a family-like atmosphere is what makes this home so special. Beaumont Care Mount Tamborine is a stone throw from shops and amenities with activities, outings, and get-togethers to keep you active and sociable.
