Maria started working at Christian Homes Tasmania ten years ago, on 4 November.

“I started in the kitchen, then moved into the laundry and cleaning. After a while, CHT approached me and asked if I’d be interested in learning caring. They put me through my course at TAFE, which I was really grateful for.”

Maria worked in care for five and a half years, first on afternoon shifts and then mornings before being offered another opportunity.
“They asked if I’d be interested in Leisure and Lifestyle and encouraged me to apply. I did the interview, got the role as coordinator, and then completed the course. CHT paid for that as well, they’ve been really supportive, especially when it comes to training.”

Before aged care, Maria spent 27 and a half years working in pubs.
“I loved it. The people, the fun, the live bands. But eventually, just the smell of alcohol got too much. I still miss it sometimes, especially the interaction with people. We did a lot of fundraising too.”

These days, Maria finds joy in connecting with residents.
“I really enjoy mixing with the residents, helping where I can, getting them out and encouraging them to stay social. We all enjoy the bus trips. They’re a chance to have a laugh and do something different. It helps residents keep their independence.”

She explains how trips are planned so that everyone can participate in their own way.
“Some residents like to go off shopping on their own, they know what they’re doing. Others need a bit more help, so we stay with them. Then we all meet up for lunch, have a chat about what everyone bought or saw. There’s always something to talk about, one time the bottle shop was robbed just before our ladies went in!”

Maria also works with CHT volunteer Christine, who is a huge support in running Leisure and Lifestyle activities.
“Christine helps a lot she’s always there with a hand, she puts in so much of her time to be with us. We wouldn’t be able to do it without her.”

Whether it’s an outing to the Old Bank in Cygnet or a visit to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Maria says the key is keeping things engaging and giving people a chance to enjoy themselves.
“It’s been a big journey, but a good one.”

Hawthorn Village residents enjoyed a lovely outing to the Cygnet Bank Café.☕ Before the Cygnet Bank became a café, Bevis worked there over 60 years ago as the Bank Manager; this visit they let him take a trip down memory lane and go inside the old safe. Thank you for letting us revisit special memories!

This week, we transformed the Snug Village Day Centre into a hub of adventure and creativity as little ones joined our residents for the Wisdom & Wonder Play pop-up with Playgroup Tasmania Inc. 🌈🌞

It was a wonderful opportunity for intergenerational connection. Many of our residents are parents and grandparents; caring for children is second nature for them, with some working as primary school teachers, nurses, and nannies in the past. We watched bonds began to form across generations, and it solidified how important community is – it takes a village to raise a child!

We’re excited to share that Wisdom & Wonder Play will now become a regular event, running every second Tuesday from 29 July. We can’t wait to meet our new friends!

For more information contact Amanda at Playgroup Tasmania on 1300 035 350 or amanda.treanor@playgrouptas.org.au
