The five years service awards were awarded to employees David Purdie and Kerry Roberts.
Recipients of the 10 years service awards included Anne Fabar and Siobhan Dickie and a 25 years service award was given to NSW West regional manager Suzie Gardner.
Opal Aged Care lifestyle coordinator Rachel Sewell said the awards recognised dedication.
“It’s about recognising staff for their service and the time that they’ve been working here,” Ms Sewell said.
Ms Sewell said the care employees gave made a difference to residents.
“Some of the residents don’t have families and they see us as their family,” she said.
“Seeing the smiles on their faces and knowing they’re being cared for is important.”
