Meet Our Wonderful Team

Deanna loves her job as the Activities Coordinator at Cargill Lifecare and Village. “My favourite part of the job is getting to know our residents, hearing their stories and forming relationships,” she says.

Deanna was born in Tuatapere and moved to Arrowtown in her teenage years where she completed her high school days at Wakatipu High School.

Now living in Invercargill and married to a local farmer, she is proud mum to four children: three teenagers and one at primary school.

Most of Deanna’s working career has been office work but when her youngest child started school five years ago she decided to follow her passion which is in Aged Care. “I’m really focussed on discovering what the residents are interested in and how they’d like to spend their time,” she says.

Deanna is a fan of holding brainstorming sessions to discuss what activities they really enjoy and forms a plan based on that, saying “We’re doing all sorts of things from Casino Afternoons, a Bowls Tournament, It’s In the Bag, Round the World Travel… even an Ice Cream Trolley.”

Deanna has decided she will pursue her career even further and she is about to start Diversional Therapy training.

Her main aim is to bring fun and joy to daily activities through encouragement and support. “I’m big on talking and encouraging people to open up and get to know each other. Opening up hearts and having a good time!” says Deanna.

This month we’re celebrating the diverse array of people who call New Zealand home. Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, ages, orientations and genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.

There are many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck or film screening to providing prevention information / resources in other languages, there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their first language or ensuring local footpaths are clear and accessible.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re creating inclusive communities this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:
