Family/Residents (Deloraine)
Rosalie Marshman
Residential Manager
Rosalie first trained at a major teaching hospital, then worked for almost 20 years as a charge nurse in a specialised Surgical Unit. After that she took a long service break. Then, upon returning to work Rosalie spent 12 months in various roles, ranging from Aged Care to Medical Centres. Subsequently, after establishing a new medical centre, she accepted a position as Facility Manager caring for residents with very high, complex care needs. In fact, over the next 8 years Rosalie also managed a second facility for the same organisation.
Finally, on leaving this very demanding role, she decided it was time to retire. However 12 months later felt she needed a new challenge and was “too young to retire”. That's whwn she was offered a casual relieving position at Deloraine for a period of 5 weeks. Now, 6 years later, Rosalie is happy to still be working as Facility Manager for Gold Age and so are we.
