MOST people when they reach their eighties are thinking about slowing down. But not care worker Liz Thomson, who just celebrated her 80th birthday. As Activities Coordinator at Balhousie Huntly care home in Aberdeenshire, Liz is busting plenty of myths surrounding older workers, and care staff. She leads the events calendar in the Aberdeenshire residential home for dozens of residents, organising daily activities like afternoon teas, knitting clubs and gardening sessions. And she does it all with a spring in her step. Born in Portsoy, Liz worked in hospitality for many years and even ran her own Bed & Breakfast before joining the Balhousie Huntly family when the home opened in 2012. In that time she has built friendships with many of the residents, some of whom she surpasses in age.
