Ten Years Younger Home Care breaks from the convention of traditional residential care by empowering individuals and their families to live well and live at home. It is not just about providing quality, in home care, but creating opportunities that build and enhance quality of life. A trip to the beach, hosting a card party or visiting the shops, Ten Years Younger Home Care believes in the importance of maintaining the simple things in life.
Ten Years Younger Home Care was established in 2009 and has since provided in excess of 100,000 hours of home care to happy clients in and
around the vibrant city of Cairns, Far North Queensland.
Maureen Fields is a registered nurse with 30 years experience, 15 of which were spent working in, and managing aged care facilities.
Maureen is passionate about the welfare of the elderly and committed to improving the standards of aged care in Australia. As well as founding and overseeing Ten Years Younger Home Care, Maureen is a clinical nurse (and nurse advisor) who supports the clinical management of aged care facilities, ensuring they meet the standards set by government.
It is her mission to ensure people are always at the center of care. In 2015 Maureen was honoured with the title of Cairns Business Women of the Year in their annual awards and was the recipient of the AIM award for Queensland in the same year.
For the past ten years KF (one of his many nicknames) has been CEO of the highly successful Cairns-based Home Care business, Ten Years Younger.
The start of Ten Years Younger is testament to Kevin’s love for his wife, Maureen. A highly awarded nurse with years of experience working in aged care, Maureen wanted more for the elderly people of Cairns.
More care. More respect. More options. And definitely more living life to the fullest.
