Behind every quality elderly care centre is a dedicated team that brings patience, compassion and understanding into residents’ daily lives. Victoria Fedrik Parari is one of the committed care professionals at Johnson Residence. After graduating from Aseana College in Kota Kinabalu, she moved to Penang in 2014 and has since gained 12 years of experience supporting seniors, their families and her fellow care team members.
“Caring for people has always come naturally to me,” Victoria shares. “I enjoy spending time with elderly residents, listening to their stories and making sure they feel comfortable.” For her, even a small gesture can brighten someone’s day. Knowing that she can make life a little easier and happier for a resident is what keeps her motivated.
Victoria believes every resident deserves to be treated with dignity, patience and love. She and her team support residents with their daily needs while respecting their privacy, preferences and independence. “We treat every resident like our own family,” she says. At the same time, the team follows each resident’s care plan and safety procedures closely to ensure the right support is always provided.
Victoria is also someone who steps in whenever her colleagues need help. She believes good elderly care depends on teamwork, open communication and a shared responsibility for every resident’s well-being. When a resident displays unfamiliar or challenging behaviour, she takes time to observe, listen and understand what may be causing it. As every resident is different, patience and a personalized approach are important. When medical advice is needed, the team will always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
During an emergency, the team responds quickly, provides immediate assistance and informs the resident’s family as soon as possible. If urgent medical attention is required and the family cannot be reached, the team will arrange for the resident to receive appropriate medical care without delay. Victoria also keeps families connected through regular messages, photos and videos where appropriate. If any unusual changes are noticed in a resident’s health, behaviour or daily condition, the family will be updated promptly.
To Victoria, quality elderly care is not simply about completing daily duties. It can be seen in the way residents are spoken to, how carefully situations are handled and how openly the care team communicates with families. “When the care team and family understand one another and work together, we can provide better care for the resident.” Her approach reflects Johnson Residence’s commitment to helping every senior feel safe, valued and truly at home.
