A mother and daughter have been working side by side at a local aged care facility to take care of its residents.

Vicki Newham and Rebecca Mesa are two of the team members at Mercy Place, Mount St Joseph's in Young, who have gone above and beyond to ensure that the residents receive the best care possible.

Between the pair there is more than 40 years of combined experience in aged care with both sharing the commitment to the well-being of residents.

Vicki enjoys getting to know each resident and hearing their stories, all while working in a great team environment with fellow aged care workers - including her daughter, Rebecca.

Rebecca discovered her passion for helping the elderly through work experience in school and finds giving back to the older generation incredibly rewarding.

The pair said providing quality aged care requires compassion, patience and a willingness to learn.

The family, along with their fellow team at Mercy Place Mount St Joseph's are dedicated to providing a variety of compassionate care services that enhance the health, comfort and happiness of residents.
