Finding a second family at Southside – Tereapii’s Story
Triggered by the death of her mother when she was only 8, Tereapii experienced significant difficulties during her teenage years. Enrolling at Carinity Education Southside was a turning point that helped change her life.
A blessing in disguise
Alec was adamant that he was never going into care. Then his health started to deteriorate. Almost two years after moving to Carinity Clifford House, he considers living in the aged care community "a privilege".
Chaplains changing lives in prison
When Jasmine first went to prison, she contemplated killing herself because she thought that would be less embarrassing for her daughter than having a mother in prison. Her life took a new direction when she met Carinity chaplain Debbie.
From troubled teen to inspiring the next generation
When Corey arrived at Carinity Orana in a police care as a teen in the 1980's, he had no idea it would be the turning point he so desperately needed.
The comfort of community
Jean was only 61 when she and her husband Reg moved into Carinity’s newly opened retirement village, Wishart Gardens. Now, almost 30 years later, Jean is proud to be one of the original residents who still call the village home.
A place to belong
Felicity is an aspiring artist, cat lover, chocolate aficionado, shopping enthusiast and devotee of the Deadpool movie franchise. She also has Williams syndrome. At Carinity Bunderra, she is accepted for who she is.
There is no place like home
Home is where the heart is, but for Glenese Gray her home also provides familiarity, freedom, comfort and security.
