Meet dedicated Care Planner, Libiya, who prioritises personal care for residents
What inspired you to pursue a career in aged care?
People with a wealth of life experience deserve to be treated with dignity, respect and genuine care. Helping them maintain comfort, independence and quality of life is incredibly meaningful to me. It’s about honouring their journey, learning from them and making their later years as fulfilling and enjoyable as possible.
What do you love most about it?
I really value the opportunity to make a difference every day. I enjoy creating personalised care plans that not only meet their medical and physical needs, but also support their emotional wellbeing and respect their individuality. Working as part of a team to ensure residents feel safe, valued and heard is so rewarding.
What is your favourite part of a day?
The time I spend having conversations with residents during care reviews or informal check-ins. It’s in those moments that I really get to understand how they’re feeling, what’s working for them, and what we can do to make each day happier.
What do you enjoy most about working with the residents?
Every resident has a unique life story, and I feel privileged to listen, learn and be part of their daily lives. Hearing their stories, and listening to their needs and preferences, reminds me why I do this work – to make sure they feel seen, heard, and supported. It’s the human connection that makes this role so special.
