Love the friendly and homely atmosphere Nd the very professional staff who lovingly care for our loved one.
So beautifully designed and thought out. The hairdresser, chaplain, physio, library, etc all have vintage shop fronts to give the common space a lively feel. This place honestly sets the standard for aged living.
Is located in an ideal place. Is quiet but not very far from the nearest transport.
The best place for retirement if you can't stay at home anymore. Fresh and clean great friendly staff.
Our parents have just taken up residency there. Everybody from the GM to the maintenance man have been so caring. It's a 5 star facility - I wouldn't mind living there myself!
