Support Services for carers
Virtual Social Centre
The Virtual Senior Centre is a vibrant online community for seniors who value meeting people, staying connected, having new experiences and want to do all this from the comfort of home.
Residential Respite Care
Being a carer can be incredibly rewarding but sometimes you might need a break to go and do your own thing. Maybe you’re heading off on a trip, working, or catching up with things around the house. Whatever it might be, a short term break in a residential respite facility can help.
Stories about our carers
You’ll now find Daniel kicking goals working at a not-for-profit disability service provider, and he couldn’t be happier. He secured the part-time job soon after the Feros Care Work Experience Program, armed with newfound professional confidence and a readiness to take on challenges.
Wellbeing Manager Russ Hargreaves is many things – a minister, a valued part of the Feros Care team, a proud member in Feros Care’s Pride Support Network, and a leading advocate for the rainbow community, helping foster a culture of inclusion and acceptance.
The smiles that light up seniors’ faces when Russ Hargreaves enters the room say it all.
Katja is redefining the ‘norm’ – and his clients love it! Picture this; a charismatic young male with a super cool name living his best life as a Community Support Worker. That’s right, we said a ‘young’ person – with an X and Y chromosome – who loves his job working with seniors. So, what made Katja Russell pursue a career in aged care, and do the people he supports really welcome someone outside the industry stereotype into their lives with open arms? You bet they do.
