Meet Jocelyn – a Personal Support Worker (PSW) at Trinity Village Care Centre.

Jocelyn’s journey with Trinity Village began as a volunteer. When she finished her schooling, she started volunteering Mondays to Thursdays from 8am to 2pm. “I have a hard time being still,” she says, “It gave me a lot of confidence – and allowed me to become familiar with the environment and the people.”

Jocelyn’s role allows her to be a big part of the residents’ lives, “I get to be myself with them, and they love it,” she says, “they appreciate authenticity.”

Something that has surprised Jocelyn about her role is the diverse types of dementia. “School gave me a foundation, but actually being around dementia has taught me acceptance and how to go with the flow.”

“I have a very strong connection with the team,” she says, “We are organized and hard-working, we are like a family.”

Jocelyn is a true believer in “you get what you give”. She gives happiness and respect and in return, she has formed true relationships and bonds with the residents she cares for and the people she works with.
