For instance, GoldenAgeRestHomehasaregistered nurse, physiotherapists, an activities coordinator, home assistants, cooks, cleaners, a gardener, a hairdresser at the in-house salon, and more. The organisation also believes in keeping people busy and entertained, which is why they have purchased 4 vans to take the residents away on regular outings in the local mall, coffee shops, and elsewhere. When David came aboard, the industry was far less regulated than it is now. Even so, Golden Healthcare not only managed to stay up-to- date with modernized standards but also to improve above and beyond. Meals, activities, and home facilities are also constantly updated as the organisation invests a huge part of its capital gains back into the facilities. To the same end, making sure that the staff is competent and capable to provide the highest levels of care, both in specialized sectors and in general, has been a subject of utmost importance to the executive and management teams. Overseeing the completion of the Lady Wilgram Retirement Village as well as the further computerization of Golden Healthcare Group’s facilities will keep the teams busy for the next couple of years, at least. When those projects are over, David and Olivia seem inclined on considering further expansion plans. The organisation’s great reputation, combined with relentless hard work, will surely keep them at the top of the aged care industry for years to come.
