I found that the Admin staff were very helpful and efficient.I thought the place looked neat,lidy and the atmosphere seemed like a home away from home.(of course it cannot complete on that level,as we all would like to stay at home...but once our medical needs cannot be accomplished,then this place fills such a need.
Mum spent the last 18months of her life there. Made many friends but passed away 6months short of her 100th birthday. The staff, nurses, managers, cleaners, cooks, we're so friendly and caring. Simply the best place.
Friendly, competent, and caring staff. No unpleasant smells. Lovely artwork. Careful medical care. Range of appropriate activities available. Meals cooked on site and individually adapted.
Great community place in the aged care sector. I want to spend my Last days here. Great compassion and dignity
Beautiful Retirement Village. Nursing home -all levels is next door. Best security system l have seen. Spotless. Friendly. Nurse / Emergency alarms in every room in the unit. Spacious. Shops,park, medical suites at their doorstep. I could easily live there. Highly recommend for Retirement Home.
