Why we created Mark & Sylvie’s Home Care
As doctors, we noticed a trend with our elderly patients at the clinic. As they became more frail, initially they came in to see their GP more often. However, they often became house bound. At this point, they stopped coming completely. Their care would deteriorate, and their progress to being placed in an residential aged care facility, commonly after a precipitous clinical event, was abrupt and expedited.
From that observation, our mission was laid out – to integrate health care with home care, allowing older persons to live independently at home for as long as possible.
Who are Mark & Sylvie?
Their lives were dominated by the sole mission of raising their four children to the best of their ability and creating a better future for them.
Mark and Sylvia Gomes were two migrants who emigrated from India to Australia in 1983. They got off the plane, both aged over 40, with a total of $200 in their pockets and four kids.
Their lives were dominated by the sole mission of raising their four children to the best of their ability and creating a better future for them. Dr Floyd Gomes, founder of Atticus Health and Mark & Sylvie’s Home Care is the youngest of those four children.
Mark and Sylvia Gomes were tremendous parents. Their home was filled with food, flowers, banter and a pioneering spirit. Sadly, they both died at a relatively young age, before really getting a chance to see out their retirement, at home, together.
This company in named in honour and remembrance of them. We hope that through Mark & Sylvie’s Home Care, the synergy created between health and home care will enable elderly people to live fuller, safer lives at home. We aspire to deliver services at a standard that Mark & Sylvie would be proud of and indeed have wanted for themselves.
