The pair have spent their entire married life in Port Macquarie, with the family's biggest wish being for Daphne and Bob to live together at home for as long as possible.
Following Bob's heart attack around 18 months ago, their daughter Lea became their carer and the family organised a home care package through St Agnes' Care & Lifestyle to ensure they could continue living together at home.
"They have both managed quite well since then. We have a few home care services in place for them to make their quality of life a lot better," Lea said.
Daphne and Bob moved to Dahlsford Lifestyle Retirement Village around nine years ago and said being able to stay at home has meant a great deal to them.
"It's a very good lifestyle. Lea helps us and we have carers who come throughout the week to help us around the house," Daphne said.
"We do see ourselves as very lucky to have carers which allows us to still live at home."
The entire family does their part in assisting Daphne and Bob, however Lea and her daughter Lauren have taken on the role of carers for the couple.
"My daughter Lauren does a lot of cooking for them and will bring that around because she lives a lot closer than I do. It has been nice to see how the whole family has helped out," Lea said.
"Having the home care package for mum and dad has also been a great help."
St Agnes Care & Lifestyle home care coordinator Therese Chadbourne said the packages that services offer are tailored to the individuals.
"The family will usually approach us first before the individuals are assessed for their needs and we find a package that will suit them," she said.
"For Daphne and Bob that means carers visit the home for both domestic and personal tasks.
"We also try to build a rapport between the carers and our clients so they know who is coming on which day and they build friendships with them."
Daphne said having carers visit their home to help with certain tasks has allowed them to continue living independently in their own home.
"I don't think we would be able to manage without them," she said.
"There are a lot of benefits to being at home and we're just glad that we have the services in place and that our daughter Lea has become our carer."
This week is National Carers Week, with this year's theme of Millions of Reasons to Care aiming to raise awareness of the significant contribution that the 2.65 million carers across Australia make to society.
"Their quality of life is the most important thing and fulfilling their wish of keeping them at home," Lea said.
"They have done a lot for me and now it's my turn to help them."
