Message from the CEO – 2022 Annual Report
“Be ready to enjoy the smooth ride once the turbulence subsides”
This past few years have certainly been turbulent with the Pandemic still running its course, having an ongoing impact on the aged care sector. Maroba has not been exempt from the challenges of Covid having experienced 8 outbreaks between July 2021 and June 2022. Each experience has taught us to be even more resilient and innovative in how we responded in the circumstances. It never ceases to amaze me how adaptable older people can be in the face of a global Health crisis, and how encouraging they are to all of us who show up to care for them. Over the duration of the Pandemic we have challenged the status quo, advocated for older people and adapted the rules of engagement in favour of our residents and their families as best we could whilst upholding Infection Prevention and control measures. Funding has continued to deteriorate as has been the trend over the past 10 years, yet we keep looking forward to being nimble and agile to accommodate new approaches and care models that fit into the limited resources and community expectations. Our renovations within the Lodge are working out a treat and attracting a greater range of seniors to Maroba. It gladdens my heart every time I see our communal areas in both the Manor and Lodge full of smiling facing with lots of laughter and movement to suit the exercise groups , spiritual care gatherings, live concerts, games, crafts, intergenerational programs, themed luncheons and dancing to name a few. Life is lived to the full and love is shared in abundance whilst acute clinical care and support is delivered by a compassionate team of professional nurses and carers. In fact every service offered by Maroba is offered with genuine care and compassion providing dignity for all. I reflect on Viv Corks dream all those years ago to provide ‘dignity to elderly ladies in care’, and I am full of Hope knowing we have a strong and enduring foundation to continue our work in Transforming the expression of services and experience for older people in this Nation.
