History

Feros Care Ltd had its genesis in the simple aspiration of the late George Feros. George was an iconic Greek immigrant who felt inspired to devote the last years of his life to fundraising for a nursing home in Byron Bay.

George wanted to build a nursing home in Byron Bay, initially for his ageing parents, and spent twenty years personally raising funds to make his wish come true.

In 1976, George inspired a small group of local people who established a committee that has over the years evolved into the Feros Care Board of Directors.

Thanks to the tireless dedication of this committee, the generous support of the local community and the Commonwealth Government, Feros Care now operates residential aged care facilities in Byron Bay and Bangalow along with numerous community and respite aged care services.

Feros Care strives to be the region’s preferred provider of quality aged and community care services through a commitment to caring for the community inspired by one man’s wish.

In 2007, The History of Feros Care by Sue Vader was published. It describes George’s epic journey inspiring readers with vision and compassion. This book is available from the Feros Care Business Centre on (07) 5669 0555.
