At Feros providing genuine care is everything. We choose our employees because they love working with seniors and see it as a privilege to do so.

Feros Care client Darryl Ferney wearing boxing gloves standing in a boxing ring

Just as our trailblazing Feros Care team members aren’t your typical aged care workers, 76-year-old Darryl Ferney isn’t your typical aged care client. 

Boasting an eclectic backstory with a rich tapestry of interesting and downright cool professional and personal highlights, he’s about as vanilla as a rainbow paddle pop. In other words, Darryl obliterates the ‘boring and beige’ stereotype sometimes associated with his age group, and is the personification of an aged care recipient reframing public perception. 

Paulette Taylor smashing steraotypes around ageism

Paulette is actively changing perceptions about aged care. When Paulette tells people she’s still working in physiotherapy at 81 they have their doubts.  “I find the first misconception is, she’s old, and therefore she’s frail.

Not many people can say they’ve ‘worked’ with the same person for over 15 years, but Marion Fleming can. And what’s more, she’s never looked back.

A respected and popular Feros Care Community Support Worker, Marion spends her days doing what she loves; helping aged care clients, including the unstoppable Daisy. 95 years young, full of life, and as sharp as a tack, it’s not hard to see how this lovable ‘pocket rocket’ has inspired Marion to stick around for a decade and a half.
