Welcome

Terri Flynn

Director of Enjoy Retire in-home Therapy is a Diversional Therapist with 15 years’ experience in aged care and dementia care.

Diversional Therapy is a client centred practice and recognises that leisure and recreational experiences are the right of all people. We provide opportunities where clients may choose to participate in leisure and recreation activities which promote self-esteem and personal fulfilment. We facilitate individual client choice, decision making and participation when developing and managing recreational programmes. (DTA website).
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. "

About Us

sydney
Born in Sydney, I am married with two sons and have travelled extensively.
I started working in the NSW Public Sector working in Human Resources and then completed a First Class Honours degree in Diversional Therapy.
I have worked in Aged Care, primarily with people with dementia. My previous workplace for the last 12 years was the Burger Centre.
I am a highly qualified and experienced therapist who can design a program of therapeutic activities that is tailored specifically for you.
I can provide feedback to you on the effectiveness of the program. The program will be regularly reviewed and adjustments made as needed.
I offer a holistic service, we have a network of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, podiatrists and dieticians for extra support when needed. Many older people have carers who do a wonderful job, but a structured program of therapeutic activities can provide long term benefits and the outcomes you need.
I have a First Aid Certificate, a Police Check and a First Class Honours degree in Diversional Therapy.
