Uncle Kevin was referred to Silverchain after a short stay in hospital in 2019. Initially, our care team came to visit him at home, but when he found out that there was a Silverchain clinic close to home, he preferred to drop into the clinic each day.
Uncle Kevin said at the Silverchain clinic, everyone was friendly. He was treated with kindness and respect. He thoroughly enjoyed his experience with all the Silverchain nurses and clinicians he met along the way.
Uncle Kevin had sound advice for those who might be worried about seeking health treatment.
“If you think that you will be frightened, don’t be. If you come out of the hospital wherever you are and you need treatment, ask for Silverchain because they do a very, very good job, “Uncle Kevin said.
In August 2022, Uncle Kevin provided a Welcome to Country at Silverchain’s first Innovate RAP launch event. Uncle Kevin gave a personal and heartfelt welcome at the RAP launch.
Uncle Kevin’s message is one of respect for all cultures in Australia. Uncle Kevin lives on Noongar Country, his mother’s Country, and says this is the right thing to do according to Noongar lore.
As well as welcoming all attendees to Country, Uncle Kevin reviewed Silverchain services and talked of his positive experiences. He also advised First Nations people to look after their health and not wait till it is too late.
In 2023, when Uncle Kevin had another short stay in hospital, he asked the doctors to let him go home. He said, “I’ll be right. I’ll get Silverchain to come!”
