Mum\u2019s knowing advice foreshadows Aoifou\u2019s compassionate care<\/h1>\n
\"There

There aren’t many more deserving for Gannet House’s Aoifou Fili who was the 2024 Metro North Health Assistant in Nursing award winner.<\/p><\/div>\n

You don\u2019t have to talk to Gannet House\u2019s Aoifou Fili for too long to understand why she was awarded the Metro North Health Assistant in Nursing for 2024.<\/h4>\n

While Aoifou is a quiet achiever, her compassionate nature and kindness is clearly evident in the way she speaks, her gentle manner, and the way she is described by her colleagues.<\/p>\n

The Assistant in Nursing at Gannet House, a residential aged care facility at Brighton, has a genuine and natural willingness to put others first, especially the care she provides to the elderly and her family.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was younger my mum told me that I should go into nursing and look after older people,\u201d Aoifou said.<\/p>\n

Since that point Aoifou hasn\u2019t looked back, being an Assistant in Nursing since 1998 and caring for the elderly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been at Gannet House for seven years supporting the aged care residents, and a further 10 years in aged care at Zillmere,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really enjoy looking after the elderly patients, looking after everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether it is her grandparents, parents, family or aged care residents at Gannet House she is a very special carer, and that nature resonates with people who meet her and are under her care.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like looking after people, just making the elderly comfortable and especially taking residents for walks along the Brighton foreshore,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

As part of her role at Gannet House, Aoifou also supports the residents to undertake daily activities such as showering or having breakfast or meals.<\/p>\n

Specialised Aged Care Nurse Unit Manager Sixolisile Mpofu said the quality of Aoifou\u2019s work and high standard of work ethic makes her stand out.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is consistently respectful,\u201d Sixolisile said.\u201cAoifou sees the person and goes out of her way to ensure residents are looked after. She has a wealth of knowledge yet is very humble. She is just a force to be reckoned with in her own way.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is an asset to the team and has definitely served the community well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aoifou received multiple nominations for the 2024 Metro North Health Assistant in Nursing award, and was acknowledged ahead of hundreds of nursing assistants across the whole of Metro North.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s the quiet ones in the team that sometimes don\u2019t get recognition,\u201d Sixolisile said. \u201cNot that she ever looks for it, it is definitely well-deserved.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Gannet team is blessed, honored and humble to have such an amazing person as part of the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gannet House is a state government-funded residential aged care facility. The service has the capacity to accommodate 40 residents who may require a range of specialised care within the purpose-built residential facility.<\/p>\n

Clinical services are provided by skilled nursing staff with the support of allied health, administrative and ancillary staff.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
