I would like to thank you for the wonderful care you are taking of my Dad. You are taking superb care of Dad and our entire family appreciates it. Each time I speak to Dad he mentions how wonderful the meals are. He cannot believe how delicious and varied they are. The one thing Dad raves about is Friday being ‘fish and chips’ day. Dad just loves Fridays now!

I’m very grateful to all the people who added so much to the quality of Mum’s life for the last three and a half years and most especially for the extra care taken of her in the last three weeks. I don’t think she could have been in better hands. Many thank also to you for your patience and kindness to me in these last difficult weeks. With love and best wishes.

Russ and I wish to sincerely thank you all for your care of Dad during his stay with you. As his body and mind slowly failed, your bright and cheery care helped to brighten his day. I would particularly like to thank those of you who took time out to make sure that I was OK. Your care and thoughtfulness and friendship towards me meant a lot at a very sad time.

I want to express my very positive impression of how Mum has been welcomed into your community - she seems both content and comfortable to me, with none of the sense of loneliness that I used to feel from her after Dad died five years ago and when she was living by herself. To me this is a great relief at a time when I have felt very powerless to help Mum - and so I am very grateful to you, and your team, which you seem to lead excellently - a rare skill I’ve found in my time! Good on you, Best wishes.

What will it cost?
When moving into an aged care home the amount you pay will depend on the home and room you choose, your own circumstances and means to pay for the available care and services. Your accommodation and care costs may be partly or fully covered by the government, which will be determined by a means assessment.
Will it suit my needs?
We have 70+ homes in NSW, QLD, SA and VIC and all offer care for those requiring a short-term or longer stay, as well as helping people requiring urgent care. Our experienced and compassionate teams care for people with a range of complex conditions, including people living with dementia, as well as those requiring palliative and end-of-life-care.
What are the next steps?
Moving home is a big decision, especially when it comes to aged care. Let us guide you through the process step-by-step with the right information at the right time. We will support you from your initial enquiry, answering your questions on the types of care we offer, the costs involved through to when you're ready to move into your new home.
