Plenty To Celebrate As Colleagues At Leeds Care Centre Mark Combined Work Service Of 110 Years
There were plenty of celebrations at a Leeds care centre as they marked a combined work service of 110 years for staff.
Angelo Roura (15 years), Surinder Boughan (20 years), Musema Kitumaini (20 years), Rachel Bailey (20 years), Rosalyn Concepcion (20 years), Furaha Muderhwa (10 years) and Charlotte Cooper (5 years) all work at MHA Moor Allerton Care Centre and celebrated their work anniversaries.
MHA Moor Allerton Care Centre offers the opportunity for Leeds residents to join a friendly community, with all the freedom and privacy of having your own front door.
The development is split into the Bay Tree Day care centre, Yew Tree and Rosewood Court which contains a total of 70-one-and-two-bedroom flats for rent, creating a diverse and vibrant community of residents aged 55 and over.
Additionally, Bay Tree Day care centre offers a welcoming and vibrant space designed to provide older people living with dementia with stimulating activities, extra help with daily living, and opportunities to socialise.
The management team marked the celebrations by presenting everyone with their certificate and gifts.
Speaking after the celebrations, Angelo, who is the assistant manager at the Bay Tree Day care centre said:
“Time really does fly, I started working with MHA in 2010 and I really enjoyed working here.
“There are so many memories, good and bad, that I will treasure and will cherish as part of my career.
“These experiences made me the person I am today.
“Working at MHA is truly special and I can say that I am so confident and knowledgeable with my job because of these experiences and the struggles and challenges that come with it.
“It’s very rewarding, I have learned so much as I have worked from different places and schemes in MHA around Yorkshire.
“There were times that I was thinking of moving to a different company or to go back to the NHS and pursue my nursing career again but because of the people I worked with and the joy and opportunities that MHA brought and offered to my life, that stopped me from moving elsewhere.
“Here at MHA Moor Allerton, we are like one big family.
“I have stayed here not because of money, but because of what the real meaning of our job brings to our lives, and that’s joy, happiness, love, comfort, and support to each other.
“Our residents and clients are all so lovely, they are like my grandparents. They are adorable and always grateful and appreciative with what we do for them.
“Personally, MHA for me is a great place and company to work with. I feel, here you will get the help and support to reach your goal as long as you’re dedicated and willing to do it.
“MHA supported me to achieve my goal and 2 years ago I received my MSc master’s degree in advanced dementia studies.
“MHA is a great place to work, and it will mould you into the person you want to be. It’s not about the workplace , it’s all about you if you’re not dedicated and not happy, and if you don’t put your heart and soul into it, it won’t work whichever and wherever you decide to work”.
