My father commenced at Carino Care Russell Lea as a respite resident for 2 months. Both my father and our family were very happy with the care and attention my father received, we applied for permanent care. We can’t say enough about the facility. If we have an issue it addressed immediately. The staff are all amazing and so friendly. My father enjoys the variety of meals and activities. The residence has been exceptional during these difficult times of Covid19 putting in place safe procedures and allowing our family to see my father be it with restrictions.
