Description:
I am a registered Social Worker with a Private Practice based in Tokai. I work with the elderly and my purpose is to improve the quality of their lives. Throughout my career I have been involved with assisting the aged in various capacities. My interest in the aged started early in my career when I worked at an organization for the aged. I gained a comprehensive knowledge on aging there, from my work in hospitals, my private practice and from personal experience. I see the important role of art and play throughout one's life and try and bring this back into the lives of my elderly clients, who are often suffering from dementia, in a creative way.
