Testimonials
“The benefits of Lisa’s programs are to encourage clients to be able to use their skills, where they possibly wouldn’t have out in the community. We’ve discovered lots of skills that people didn’t even know that they had!”
Lynn Campbell, Day Coordinator Omnicare
“Lisa has formed a beautiful relationship with the elderly residents she interacts with and her inspired art programs have played an important role in their health and well-being by making life that bit richer. I would highly recommend Lisa's services to anyone.”
Joy Walsh, Director of Care, Catholic Care of the Aged
"During the time I have known Lisa she has developed her knowledge, professionalism and integrity. She has acquired strong skills and undertaken challenges in new fields as they have arisen. Lisa has learnt how to apply her skills to various situations and combines her creative skills with research, preparation and advocacy."
Margaret Allen, RN MN (Gerontology) Conveyord Port Macquarie Dementia Friendly Community Alliance
“We really enjoy working with Lisa and her clients on what we like to call ‘People friendly programs’. As a museum, our role is to share our collections and their stories. These programs enable us to connect with people’s memories, imaginations and creativity and share them with more people. At our museum, being ‘Dementia friendly’ is not about Dementia, it’s about people and their stories.”
Debbie Sommers, Port Macquarie Historical Museum
