Exceptional care
in your home

Marjorie Martin has been on hand for an enormous number of people through some of the most trying times of their lives, as a founding member and telephone Crisis Supporter for Lifeline in Port Macquarie.

Virginia Liddle had a career change later in life when she was looking for something different after breeding ultra-fine wool and training dressage horses all her adult life. She joined Home Nursing Group as an AIN in 2009 and says the best part of the job are the fascinating people she meets; clients who have lived ordinary, extraordinary lives and have lessons to pass on.

Beverly Lilley leads a very full life. Having lived in Armidale’s Newling Gardens for the past decade, the dynamic grandmother shows no signs of slowing down.
