I have been a lifestyle coordinator for 4 1/2 years with a certificate IV and only get paid $19.36 an hour. As we all agree the aged care industry in a low paid industry concidering we all are there to help out elderly and sick residents. All our governments need to look into what we do and how hard it is. We don't get very good monthly budgets either for the residents programs. I work for a 61 high and low care facility and only get $75 monthly budget. We have to raise funds for everything else which I think is unfare.
Thank you so much for such an awesome resource and to everyone for sharing their ideas. It takes the pressure off and allows more time to be spent with the ones we are caring for who after all need our time more than anything else. I am looking forward to reading as much as I can get my hands on and finding ways to improve the lives of our valuable community members and bring some sunshine in. Much appreciated :)
