In its first years CareMalta was known as the pioneer in elderly care and over the past years it became the leader in the sector. This was achieved through good planning, well-taken decisions, and a strong team of employees.

I started my career with CareMalta back in 1997 as a maintenance technician at Villa Messina. After a few years, I was given the opportunity to take care of and coordinate the maintenance operations in the facilities managed by CareMalta. In 2018, I was appointed as Projects Manager and formed part of the Operations team, taking care of the projects and refurbishments in all CareMalta’s facilities and HILA’s Homes.

Over the years I viewed the company as a family that gave me the opportunity to grow and strengthen my potential. With every project that was concluded, I feel a great sense of satisfaction and that all the hard work will serve as reassurance and peace of mind for many residents in need of our care services.

I still remember my first day working with CareMalta, at Villa Messina, which had been in operation for just one year. I was being given handover on the plant and equipment since I was stepping into the new job of maintenance technician. I think that throughout my career with the company, which stretches for the past 26 years, the biggest challenge I faced was the full refurbishment project at Villa Messina. I remember that nearing the end of the project, I was given the responsibility to get all pending and backlogged works back on track to conclude in time. It was tough but we managed, and the project was concluded in time and the residents returned to their care home as planned.

HILA’S Casal Nuovo project, which took place during the Covid-19 pandemic, also proved to be a very challenging one. Finishing the work in time whilst following the pandemic precautionary measures to safeguard all involved, was not easy but having the project terminated and seeing the premises being used by HILA’s clients was such a rewarding moment.

Knowing that I have been working with a company that is helping the elderly and those in need in their retirement age gives me great satisfaction and I believe that those who will join our team in the future, once they settle into their job, will too feel the satisfaction through the services and care given by them to our residents and clients, as we are one big family.
