Julie, Envigor Home Care Community Care Business Partner for Bundaberg, explains how she helped a client recapture his youth:

“A few years ago, I was introduced to a man (let’s call him Bill). I was Bill’s Care Coordinator and I spent a fair bit of time working with Bill and his family to find out what services he wanted and what would really make a difference to his life. What Bill wanted and what Bill needed were quite different but there was one thing everyone agreed on, especially Bill. He wanted to be able to do what he did when he was younger which was to cruise around Crow’s Nest, where he lived, in the sidecar of a motorbike. So, this is exactly what we did which was no mean feat, especially considering Bill was 89 years old and had quite limited mobility. But we persevered and Bill got his ride! The look on his face was one that I will never forget. It was like all the years had melted away and he was once again the twenty something man about town. These are the kind of outcomes that make you get up in the morning.”
