Our podcast guest today is Nicole Smith from Australia. She is a nurse and a gerontologist who is extremely passionate about giving people who have dementia their best lives.
When you hear the story of Nicole’s upbringing, you will understand why she loves being with older people and why she fights for human rights for our elders.
After becoming a registered nurse, she was recruited by a nursing home and quickly given responsibility for a large dementia unit others didn’t want to manage. After many successful years working in this area, she decided there must be a better way to support our elders.
This is when she decided to create a different social model based around community, where people feel safe, happy and are connected with different generations. She established this model while bring up her children and studying for her master’s in Gerontology. Her model showed a difference, was recognised and shared on social media. This is when Dr Rodney stepped in and supported her to create a training programme enabling her to share the model with other professionals.
When the pandemic happened and people couldn’t meet, Nicole became a COVID responder, spending large chunks of time away from her family, responsible for crisis management in different Care Home throughout Australia. This reinforced a desperate need for alternatives to care homes and gave her renewed self confidence to reconnect with Dr Rodney to create a better model.
Together they have created their own care model, Community Home Australia. Listen and understand their care home solution and consider what you could learn and apply to your own life. Its truly person centred, where everybody supports one another as part of an extended family, with medical care available when needed.
Hear more about Nicole’s latest inclusive movement linking bright minds from across the globe who are passionately dedicated to making changes in the lives of our elders/older adults/loved ones.
