“Local Legend” Martin Ram recognised for his dedication to Logan's elders

Announcement posted by zanthii communications 31 May 2017

Logan local Martin Ram has been recognised as a ‘Local Legend’ for his dedication to the betterment of the elder community in Logan.

The Local Legends awards was founded by Federal MP Jim Chalmers four years ago as a platform to recognise people offering outstanding services, and actively bettering the community of Logan.

“I am frequently amazed by the selfless acts which help make ours a community which looks out for each other and looks after each other,” said Mr Chalmers.

As an Envigor Home Care Community business partner, Martin spends his time running a team of qualified caregivers to ensure their services enable elder residents to continue to live with dignity and independence in their own homes.

“When the opportunity came up to be a business partner with Envigor Home Care, I couldn’t turn it down,” said Mr Ram.

“It’s what gives me the most satisfaction; helping the vulnerable in our community and making a positive change in their lives.”

Martin’s understanding of the diversity of the Logan community and his passion for service has set his team apart from all other home care providers within the region.

Always aware of the cultural diversity of his clients, Martin’s team caters for the many different backgrounds of people Logan is home to.

“I can proudly say we are one of the very few home care providers who are equipped to deal with the multicultural diversity of Logan,” said Martin.

Working with the large Muslim community and understanding their unique cultural needs is just another example of Martin’s tireless goal of bringing affordable and inclusive care to everyone.

His team has strived to make the home care experience as comfortable as possible for every member of the community. For example, when the team recognised English was a second language for some of their clients, and not commonly spoken at home, Martin expanded his team to include caregivers who can communicate in Hindi, Arabic, Sudanese and Samoan.

Martin was honoured to have been named a 2017 recipient of the “Local Legends” awards, and said he was chuffed to be voted for by the people of Logan.

He said that the award showed him, and his team, that the level of care and dedication to service they provide is evidently resounding throughout the community.

Martin welcomes members of the community to meet him and his team at the Free Aged Care Help Sessions held every second Wednesday from 10am to 12pm at St Paul's Catholic Church, at 3 St. Paul's Drive, Woodridge, There is also a specialist available at each session to assist with everything from filling out age care forms, to accessing MyAgedCare online services.

Envigor offers round the clock client focused care from one to twenty-four hours per day. Priding themselves on their flexibility to accommodate the needs and wants of each and every individual client, Envigor will happily tailor a care package to suit every need and budget.

“We pride ourselves on our punctuality,” said Martin.

“If our client needs a shower at a certain time of day, we will be there on the dot that time and day.

“We work around what the client wants, and we co-ordinate a care plan in conjunction with the client.”

Clients also benefit from an increase in care hours compared to many other home care providers who receive government subsidised home care packages, due to Envigor’s unique administration fee cap of 10 percent, allowing Martin and his team to provide more assistance to the clients they passionately care for.
