She is employed by the Brightwater Care Group and continues to oversee Seatec as well as the Specialist Equipment service and the newly established Living Environment service.  Sam’s current focus is on promoting function, wellbeing and quality of life for older people through access, appropriate supports and providing a residential environment which facilitates this.
