Hi there all who read this
I would like to post my review about the Maurice Jagger Centre for the disabled.
After16 years of devoted caring for the elderly in nursing homes and in there own homes, dealing with mental illnessess. accidents, hospital admitions and the passing over of the people and their families that you have cared for for many months and even years it always pulls at your heart, so after many hours of debating with myself I came to the conclusion that I would no longer carry on with this career.
But hey guess what , as I entered the centre I was taken aback by how these elderly people with all there disabilities and illnessess were so pleased to enjoy each others company and have a cup of tea and lunch and just generally socialise with ease.
As I am only 50 I wasnt sure at the begining wether I would feel as though I was intruding in these peoples space but I can honestly say that each and everyone of these people have made me feel welcome and now they ask where I am when I am unable to attend every Thursday.
The food is good and nutritional, the staff are always helpful and the activities in the centre are good.
Sometimes I have to admit I have to remind myself that I am only a visitor and that I need to stop working on automatic pilot.
WELL NOW I FIND MYSELF WANTING TO VOLUNTEER AT THE CENTRE. read more
