Mrs Ford was her brother's carer until she was 99 and only gave up her driver's licence that same year.

She will proudly talk of the many years she was the Mosman postmistress and the daily drive she made from the shire to work until her retirement at 84.

The long time Sutherland resident still lives in her own unit but now she has a daily visit by Wesley Mission's community support service.

Not as mobile as she once was, Mrs Ford gets help from four carers who do everything from helping her to dress and shop to prepare meals.

"No, she certainly doesn't want to move anywhere,'' said Wesley Mission's program co-ordinator Miriam Laming, who is Mrs Ford's case manager. "She's happy to stay where she is.''

Ms Laming described Mrs Ford as a good conversationalist and still a bit cheeky with some of the comments she comes up with.

Wesley Mission offers a wide variety of services to the shire community and many senior residents, regardless of religious beliefs.

The mission's communications officer, Gavin Hanbridge, said the services include community extended aged-care and respite, financial counselling, problem-gambling counselling, Lifeline Sutherland, an independent living skills program and three aged-care hostels. "Wherever there's a need we try to offer some kind of help,'' he said.

Wesley Mission provides community aged support to 100 clients, extended care to six people and respite services to families of 100 disabled and frail people.

The mission's Frank Vickery Village, at Sylvania, will have a private Seniors Week function.
