Macpherson Smith Residential Care’s new manager wants to progress further with the recent positive changes at the Stawell care community. Rosie Taylor has a wealth of nursing experience from both sides of the world, mainly aged care. She began her career in the United Kingdom, working in aged care, orthopaedics, palliative care, and general medicine. Ms Taylor came to Australia in 2009 and did a decade of correctional nursing and district nursing in the prison system. While living in Geelong, she moved into aged care as a nurse in charge at Calvary Care in Torquay for three years before moving to Halls Gap while working as an agency nurse. Ms Taylor said her agency role took her from her mountain lodgings to all parts of rural Victoria, including aged care facilities at St Arnaud, Dimboola and Natimuk, before starting with Grampians Health last year and settling at Stawell.
