Carinity’s Retirement Village Manager, Maddison Jones, knows what most residents seek when deciding to enter a village.
“The common requirement is a place that is safe and secure to give residents confidence about their belongings and their own wellbeing,” Maddison said.
“Additionally, the social side and mental health of residents is important, and we have beautiful communities that genuinely care and check in with one another in this significant life change.”
She added the residents of Carinity’s five retirement communities “come from all different backgrounds and places.”
Maddison was a family lawyer before her change of career.
“My first role in aged care was a combination of retirement village manager, home care coordinator and RAC admissions. It was a great learning experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed the role, before progressing into senior management positions overlooking a significant retirement living, home care and CHSP portfolio,” Maddison said.
“In my current role at Carinity, my focus is purely on retirement living and collaborating with our great home care teams to keep our residents independent and living in their homes for a long as possible. I lead a wonderful team who put the residents of Carinity at the heart of everything they do. My favourite part of the role is getting to know the residents and hearing their life stories.”
