Caring aged care facility.
My mother lives there. The staff are very friendly and helpful, my mother is very happy there
Very poor quality and looking after residents rude staff management rude food discusting and rubbish other places are better. Like Cameron Park much nicer better staff food is better
The rooms are modern, light and spacious. The staff are amazing and by all accounts the food is on point as well. Theyve installed a coffee machine which will give you a decent cup for $2
My husband and I have lived here 3 years. It took 11 years to get in, but we've been very happy here. The garbage/trash is collected 3 times a week, maintenance is prompt and while all the residents are nice, the employees are even nicer - and my husband says living here is marginally cheaper than when we lived in our own house. Planning is very good - all homes here have no stairs to the front door or garage. A friend of ours who lived here for 20 years said that if he'd had millions, he'd still choose to live here. (He died recently.)
