Lake Haven local Jennifer Curtis has been named a finalist in the Royal Freemasons’ Benevolent Institution (RFBI) prestigious Showcase Awards, recognising staff members who have demonstrated excellence and dedication in the delivery of aged care services.
Curtis, who is Lifestyle Supervisor at RFBI Lake Haven Masonic Village, has been shortlisted in the Employee of the Year category for her leadership, energy and unwavering commitment to resident wellbeing.
General manager of the village, James Figallo, said her nomination reflects her efforts to enhance daily life for residents.
Her collaborative approach has helped break down traditional silos between leisure, nursing, and catering teams, fostering a seamless, resident-centred experience, he said.
As the Lifestyle Supervisor, Curtis is also responsible for keeping the resident activity program fresh and engaging.
A special example is the monthly fine dining events, creating cherished moments of connection for residents and their families.
“Jennifer is a valuable part of our team and I am delighted that her dedication to residents has been recognised by being named a finalist for the Employee of the Year Award,” Figallo said.
“I am very proud of Jennifer and the work she does here at Lake Haven.
“I wish her the best next month.”
Curtis is one of 21 finalists shortlisted for an award across the organisation.
Winners will be announced at the RFBI Showcase Awards Evening in September, where finalists will be honoured in front of their peers and industry leaders.
