I enjoy working with the team here at Cooinda as everyone is supportive and I enjoy the work-life balance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really appreciate the staff knowledge and access to education opportunities in residential aged care. There is always someone here who can help or provide guidance and advice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe residents here are so lovely. I find that many are like nice aunties or uncles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love supporting our residents, they have a lot of life left to live in their twilight years. I really enjoy supporting them in everyday life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jacinta plans to continue working in the residential aged care sector and go back to university to become a Registered Nurse.<\/p>\n<p>Cooinda House (located at Kippa Ring) is a 60-bed home which provides care for the elderly who require a secure dementia environment and\/or specialised residential care for those with an intellectual disability, psychogeriatric, bariatric or aged care need.<\/p>\n<p>Cooinda House recently successfully passed the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission Accreditation with no changes required, and this acknowledgement continues from families and residents who highlight the kindness of care as their topmost feedback.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While only joining Cooinda House this year, enrolled nurse Jacinta McDonagh has relished the experience working in geriatric and complex care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":8175,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8174"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8174\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8176,"href":"https:\/\/metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8174\/revisions\/8176"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/metronorth.health.qld.gov.au\/community\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
