My mother has been a resident at Florence Aged Care for the last 3 years. I am very grateful for all her care. This is truly a proper home for her where all her wishes and needs are addressed and followed. Our family are very happy and feel consulted and supported. Thank you Joanita and all staff. Thank you Miriam
