Celebrating decades of compassion and care

Left to Right - Madeline, Christine, Jayne, Colleen and Deb

This month, Tenterfield Care recognised and celebrated a group of employees who have been supporting and caring for residents for many years.  

We’re grateful to Jayne for an incredible 32 years’ service, Colleen, Joy and Julie (over 20 years), Deb and Sheree (over 15 years), and Barb, Dell, Fran, Lisa, Madeline and Nick (over 10 years).  

Tenterfield Care is one of the largest employers in this town and having dedicated, long-serving staff like these team members, ensures we can provide residents with consistent care from staff who get to know them well. We thank these team members for their years of service, and for helping to make our two communities such special places to live and work.  

Jayne started her career in Aged Care as a Carer, shortly after finishing school. She has worked in various areas of Environmental Services, including in the kitchen, as a cleaner and now in the laundry. “I love my job. I’ve made really great friendships here,” she said. “Being from the local community, I know most of the residents and I love spending time with them.”  

Jayne recalls getting ready for her wedding at Millrace with the help of some residents. “I had photos taken with them in the gardens,” she said. Since then, she’s enjoyed seeing her children getting to know the residents too.  

Deb joined Tenterfield Care in 2005 and now cares for residents living in our Memory Support Household at Haddington. “I love looking after the residents, bonding with them and making special friendships.”
