THREE DECADES OF EXCEPTIONAL CARE AND COUNTING
This year, Viera Gray House in Barnes, London celebrated a beloved member of its care team, Michael Mielnicki, on his 30 Year Long Service Award. Starting at the home in 1993, Michael has been an integral member of the team ever since, with his skills and knowledge providing a great source of support for his colleagues, especially new team members. “In my younger years I did many jobs that I didn’t find satisfying at all. So when I first got into care, I felt like I was finally doing something constructive and valuable. I believe that if you find a job that fulfils you, you should try and stick at it, and I feel like doing this job is very much an extension of who I am as a person. “I know that my actions at work directly impact others, both the residents and my colleagues, and I really value the courtesy and kindness of the team here. “I’ve also met many residents over the years and consider them all friends. One resident at Viera Gray House has been here for over fifteen years, so it’s been a shared experience for us both!” Congratulations, Michael, on your fantastic achievement, and thank you for your dedication over the years.
