For this week's edition of #PeopleofArcare we introduce Keisha, Carer and Lifestyle Assistant at Arcare Taigum.

At Arcare, we believe that aged care is more than just a job—it’s a calling. For many of us, like Keisha, it’s a career path that runs in the family. With a strong personal connection to aged care, Keisha started her journey at Arcare Taigum as a Personal Support Worker and now thrives as a Lifestyle Assistant. Here's a glimpse into her experience and why Arcare could be the perfect place for you to build a rewarding career.

"Aged care runs in my blood as many of my family members work in aged care. I started at Arcare Taigum as a Personal Support Worker, and now I work as the Lifestyle Assistant. Every day, I get to make a real difference in the lives of our residents, and that’s incredibly rewarding."

Keisha’s day begins around 9 a.m., when she checks in with residents to see who would like to join in on the activities. At Arcare, there’s no shortage of engaging activities that provide residents with meaningful opportunities to socialize, stay active, and enjoy life. From arts and crafts to gentle exercise classes, there’s something for everyone, and Keisha takes great joy in seeing residents engage and connect.

"We have so many different activities here, and plenty of residents love to participate. It gives them a chance to socialize and keep their minds and bodies active. I enjoy coming to work each day, knowing I can help residents live their best lives with dignity and respect."

One of the key factors that sets Arcare apart is its commitment to both residents and staff. Keisha points out the support and resources available to staff, which have helped her grow in her career and feel valued in her role.

"The resources available for both staff and residents here are beyond what I’ve seen at other places I’ve worked. Arcare supported me when I transitioned into the lifestyle role, providing the training and certification I needed to succeed."

Keisha’s experience highlights the growth opportunities available at Arcare. Whether you’re starting out in a Personal Support Worker role or looking to transition into a new career path, Arcare provides the training, support, and encouragement needed to help you thrive.
