Acknowledging our Aged Care Nurses this Nurses Day!

This week, on International Nurses Day (May 12th), we at Altaira want to take a moment to extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible Registered and Enrolled Aged Care Nurses. Their dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care to our seniors in aged care are truly inspiring. They are the heart of our community, and we cannot thank our nurses for all that they do.

As a small token of our appreciation, we were delighted to gift our Nurses working in South Australia a meal delivery voucher towards The Family Cook. This aligns with this year’s theme “Our Nurses. Our Future. Caring for nurses strengthens economies”. This theme highlights how crucial it is to promote nurses’ health and wellness. It emphasises how important a healthy nursing workforce is for providing high-quality care, as well as for improving healthcare systems and increasing economic resilience on a global scale. We recognise the vital link between nutrition and overall health, and we’re proud to support Nurses well-being with access to a range of healthy and delicious meals.

“While this gesture offers you the chance to enjoy a meal on us, we acknowledge that it is by no means indicative of your immense value as nurses in our community. Your contributions go far beyond what any gift could represent,” says Jelena Giro, Director, Altaira.

“Thank you to all our amazing nurses. Your dedication makes a profound difference in the lives of our residents, and we are honoured to celebrate you this International Nurses Day.”

By partnering with another SA-based business The Family Cook, we are providing our nurses with easy access to home-cooked meals that nourish both the body and the spirit.

Founded on the principle that food should taste like it’s made with love, The Family Cook is led by Victoria, whose passion for wholesome meals stems from her upbringing and cultural heritage. Beyond providing nutritious meals, The Family Cook is deeply committed to community welfare. Their innovative initiatives, such as welfare checks conducted during meal deliveries, demonstrate their dedication to serving as a source of support and companionship for those in need.

At Altaira, we believe in prioritising the health and well-being of our aged care workers through various initiatives throughout the year.

If you are an Altaira Nurse, your Gift Voucher for The Family Cook has been sent to your email with instructions on how to redeem.
