Clermont thanks carers who give from the heart
CLERMONT Aged Care in Ryde paid tribute
to carers last Friday.
The tribute was made by CEO Steve Gordon
and Ryde MP Victor Dominello during a
luncheon provided for Clermont’s team of carers,
who have aged and frail family members
living there.
“Today is not only an opportunity for us to
thank you for being carers but an opportunity
for you to get to know one another and network,
because we are all part of the Clermont
family,” Mr Gordon said.
Ryde MP Victor Dominello said words could
not express his deep gratitude for the commitment
carers give.
“I know how important your role is because I
saw my own mum care for her parents and I’ll
never forget that,” he said.
“I cannot think of a more pure form of love
than being a carer, it is total love for one person
to give up their life for someone else.”
He said the State Government is there to support
carers but cannot replicate the care they
give.
“No government could ever give what you
give,” he said.
“Yes, the government can provide the services
to support carers but the love you give
comes straight from the heart.”
Carers at the luncheon told The Weekly
Times they appreciate the compassion and
care shown to their loved ones by Clermont’s
staff and thanked Mr Gordon for hosting the
luncheon.
“We do feel very much a part of the Clermont
family and it was very kind of Mr Gordon to
put on this luncheon to thank us,” they said.
“It says a lot about those values that are important
to Clermont.”
