Complex Home Modifications

Our Senior Occupational Therapist, Katie, has made her way down to Sydney to complete a Complex Home Modifications workshop. Katie learnt the practical understandings of the National Construction Code and explored the concepts of complex modifications. At Quad Care, we value ongoing learning and development and are proud to improve our services to reflect the needs of  our community. Katie is now available for complex home modification appointments. Well done, Katie!

Furry Friend at the Hub!

We had a new friend/ Olive, visit us at the Hub! Our team at Quad Care love all the animals that come through our door and are more than happy to ‘pup-sit’ while you are in therapy!

What is a buddy shift?

We’ll tell you!

A buddy shift or a ‘shadow shift’ is an opportunity for you utilise an experienced team member who you are comfortable with, to assist a newer team member to learn how to support you, how you want to be supported.

Nobody wants to have someone just thrown into their home, I mean maybe, but not many that we’ve met. That’s why having a new person in your home being facilitated by a team member you know and trust is the key to a lasting support worker client relationship.

Every provider/person will do a buddy shift differently. That’s why it’s really important to familiarise the team member with what you need and have a very specific outline of what will be covered, communicated and discussed during that time.

At Quad Care one of our core values is ongoing learning, so this is an opportunity for everyone to gorw and learn things they might not have otherwise known. It is also an opportunity for us to identify gaps as a business to improve our annual staff training.

Your feedback is important to us so tell us the good the bad and the ugly.

Happy Mother’s Day!

We hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day! We hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day! At Quad Care, many of our staff are parents of children with disability.

What this means for us as a business is that we support and encourage each other to grow as people and professionals. We support our team to be the best mum’s they can be and are always there, during the good, the bad and the ugly.
