"I’ve been in aged care now for 30 years. I love it. I just fell in love with the elderly people – they’re my passion. I have worked in seven different homes, including some in America, Sydney and Narrandera, and this is the best aged care facility I have seen.
"The Forrest Centre is a great employer. I am so lucky that I have been able to achieve extra education while working here. They have sent me everywhere for training."

“The Forrest Centre is professional and friendly. Caring for older people is a privilege and the most rewarding and satisfying work you will ever do. I love that I can use my years of working in nursing and aged care to help people find their way to the support they need. That makes me smile.”
