Homemaker (Traditionally Called AIN)
Our Homemakers support our residents to engage in life. That can be from the minute a resident wakes up in the morning to supporting any small or large decisions the resident will make throughout the day. Encouraging the residents to be involved in cooking, gardening, shopping, and adapting to day-to-day activities so that our residents living with dementia can focus on what they are able to do, rather than what they can no longer do.
