Her cleaning trolley is not just a tool for maintaining cleanliness; it’s a mobile source of positivity, complete with music that accompanies her on her daily rounds. Incorporated into Alison’s routine are familiar elements, providing a sense of comfort to those in her presence.
In celebration of this incredible milestone, Alison said: “I am absolutely thrilled to be celebrating 35 years with Care South. It’s been an amazing journey, and I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the well-being of residents in our care.
