    I cannot praise Opal Norah Head highly enough. Dad was there for 5 weeks between hospital and permanent care. He would still be there if it was closer to the family. The staff are happy, caring and professional. It’s like a big happy family. Dad blossomed mentally interacting with the staff, residents, visitors and especially the activities. Highly recommend.

    Excellent care was given to my husband during his last three weeks of his life at Opal Norah Head. The nurses were very caring and professional. I could not fault anything at all. I also have since met another lady who has her father in another wing of the home and she says she also cannot fault them and says he is far better now than when he first arrived there . He is in his 90's. Having had my husband in another local facility in the area and finding it well below standard I took him home before another hospital trip ending up at your facility. The nurses ? there could not read English to follow the directions to use his CPAP machine I was so relieved when we finally ended up at Norah Head. Thankyou so much Norah Head and Opal care.
