My parents David and Shirley Bell, immigrated with my brother and his family, from South Africa in January this year. They are in their 80's and and found the whole move quite unsettling and traumatic . They moved into an Air B&B in Melbourne with my brothers family for 3 months while they all waited for their container to arrive from South Africa. During these 3 months, it became quite apparent that living all together was not a great option and that my folks needed more assistance and help than we realized. Having worked with the Freedom team for the past 4 years as a consultant and coach, I knew many of the staff members and was a huge fan of the Freedom model . It had been a dream of mine to get my folks into a Freedom village but never thought it would happen. When they immigrated here, Freedom was a natural option for us to look at . We went and had a look at the Freedom Aged Care Dromana village on the Easter weekend and 3 weeks later my folks had bought a unit within the Dromana community and moved in. Everyone within the village has made them feel so loved and welcomed . The village manager Candice and the Clinical Case Manager Louise have gone out of their way to make sure that their every need is met and gave my parents their mobile numbers for just in case". Leaanne has popped in and helped my mom with various things from her computer to her shopping. Manthan
