  • Michael: My grandmother's personality - she's pretty happy go lucky. She likes to have a

  • joke, fool around a little bit. I remember growing up with her, it was anything I wanted,

  • I got. It was like getting treated like a favourite, I suppose, but she was like that

  • with all the grandkids. You know, there's eight of us, so I couldn't wish for a better grandmother.

  • I remember hearing stories of when she used to take my father swimming and

  • things like that. Early in the morning she'd go into work and dad used to get breakfast

  • made for him and everything like that, then she'd take him off to the swimming pool.

  • She never ever missed a day of work, really.

  • She was a supervisor at Wollongong Leagues Club, many years ago. She's very good at what she does, as far as cleaning is concerned.

  • I don't think I've ever seen anyone clean like she does.

  • It's sort of like she's got OCD, but she actually hasn't, she just takes pride in what she does.

  • The house was always clean and tidy, but there was never any dust. And then there started to be dust.

  • And then we realised that maybe she wasn't cleaning as much as she does.

  • She used to say 'I forgot to cook dinner' or simple things like that, that you - honestly you know you've got to

  • eat, so you know you have to cook something, or make something. Um she's gone from like

  • a size 22, a big, large, heavyset woman to verging on a size 6.

  • That's when we sort of knew it was getting probably too much for family members to handle. We got the doctor

  • involved and basically the decision was made by the family to bring her into HammondCare

  • and now she's here.

  • Bec: When Maria first entered the cottage she was quite emotional to leave her family and it was unsettling.

  • But after a while, when she sort of got to know the staff, she's so settled now, and she's so happy. She sits there and she talks

  • to like, the other female resident and they just - like they're having a social get together.

  • Maria: I like to do things, love. That is me. And I love it. I go shopping, I help the girls,

  • and I don't complain because I like it. Bec: The most fantastic thing is the kitchen.

  • The guys come down, we go shopping, and we're always constantly loading the trolley up way too much.

  • [Laughs] And we get them all up at the table and they come and they grab their

  • meals at the counter, and it's like you know, mess everywhere but that's part of being at home.

  • Obviously there are always days that are harder than others. When they're having

  • good days their memory and their speech is amazing and then other days you can see they're

  • frustrated because they can see that it's the dementia that's taking that.

  • Michael: Ever since she's been here she's perked up, she's put weight on, she's looking healthier.

  • I think it's giving her more of a purpose to live, because she feels like she's doing something here.

  • Maria: They help me, but then when they go home it is cleaner, so I start cleaning again. [Laughs]

  • That is me, love. I'm lucky. Bec: I think it's important to keep it home-like.

  • And it's familiar to her. She actually recognises those things. And as much as obviously we

  • know it's not home, it makes them feel a little bit more safe and secure.
