Deethu joined Flaxmore Lifecare in 2017, having completed her Masters in Business Management in India. Working in an administration role, Deethu showed incredible aptitude and talent for working in Aged Care and her passion was born. “I never thought I would work in Aged Care, but now I would never even consider anything else,” says Deethu.

Deethu says that the Heritage Lifecare team supported her in her chosen career path, and she took on the Manager role in January 2021. “I am working with our wonderful team of loyal staff, and together we are building an even stronger team,” she says.

In her last few years at Flaxmore, she has learned that every day is different and that it’s so important to fit into the resident’s day rather than the resident fit into hers. “My day-to-day life is their day-to-day life. It’s all about making everything we do come from what they themselves want for that day,” she says.

Deethu says the huge amount of connection with families is so important, and a huge part of her life at Flaxmore Lifecare. “The Flaxmore families are so vital when it comes to articulating and feeding back on our residents’ needs. They have become my family,” she says.
