Anna Finds Joy In Special Care

Edmund Hillary Retirement Village

Having worked as the Unit Coordinator for Special Care, Anna Pochron remains firmly attached to it, even now she is Clinical Manager at Edmund Hillary Retirement Village.

“The dementia unit is joyful! People are happy and will come and talk to you and you just talk about anything because anything goes for conversation topics.
