Parkinson’s

A Trinity team member visited recently for a regular review: “It felt just like walking into a pyjama party!”

Choosing the right person for the job was a challenge for Trinity. The candidate had to have experience, empathy as well as respect for this extra-ordinary environment – a convent.

Di, 94 years old, is at home with Trinity carers, feeling there a reason to live again.

“I first chose live-in care work to gain some work experience as part of my training as an Occupational Therapist. But after my first placement, I loved it so much I knew it wasn’t going to be just a one-off!”

“What I find most rewarding is my work makes a real difference to people’s lives.”

“Helping people live the life they want to live inspires me.”

“I love Betty – she’s more like my Nan. She’s family.”

“Mum always told me to build a big life for myself.” And with live-in carers – that’s exactly what she’s done.

“I joined Trinity because their values are really important and I know they genuinely put their clients’ needs first.”

“As your memory diminishes, you have to live in the moment. You can’t mourn yesterday, or fear tomorrow. Living in the moment is precious but of course, it is limited.”

“I trust him like one of my own sons.”

“Mihaela put her whole life and soul into my mum and dad. It was a miracle really. She has become part of the family, 100%.”

“They’re so friendly and interested in me – I feel lucky to have them.”
