Through my nursing days I’ve been interested in community work, and district nursing brought me in touch with patient care in the home, and the need for support, not only to the patient, but to the carer, who through love and loyalty becomes responsible for the care of a partner or family member.

I value the freedom that support in the home gives to enable a member to stay at home within the family, and not have to go into hospital care.

RAE HEATLEY

Secretary

I joined Counties Manukau Home Care Trust in 2008.

CMHC trust is very special to me as I was around at the beginning back in the 90s. Because we are not for profit, local and small we can adjust to most circumstances. We have a group of wonderfully inspiring people who work for the Trust.

Jan Somerville

JAN SOMERVILLE

Health and Safety

I’m a nominated trustee on the Trust Board and responsible for liaison between staff and the Board on Health and Safety matters.

My interest in our work is through my experience growing up with a paraplegic sister who was nursed at home by my family and myself. This emphasised the importance of continuing care in the home and the benefits that such care provides to members of our community.

The credit worthy factor of our organisation operating a not-for-profit philosophy has been a strong influence in my interest.

I’ve lived in Franklin since 2004 and over the years heard glowing stories of care workers helping friend’s frail parents to stay living at home. They were CMHT care workers. I feel privileged to be able to help support this essential, practical community service.


Craig Duthie

CRAIG DUTHIE

Treasurer

B.Com, CA

I accepted this role in 2013 to provide financial knowledge and expertise to the Trust including assistance with DHB funding plus overseeing preparation and audit of financial statements. 

The best part of the role is being actively involved in facilitating homecare services to those in the community that require it, but also very proud to provide employment and training to our many care workers.
