      Very well presented Aged Care Facility. Rooms are large and clean, staff are caring, professional and friendly. Staff ratio seems good. The residents seem well cared for and there are a lots of activities for them to engage in. In non-Covid times there are usually plenty of outings for the Residents but at the moment these are reduced. My mother has been a respite resident her main complaint was about the food, but she can be very fussy.😏

      My aunty is living in one of the units and being cared for. She seems happy there and is looked after and cared for quite well. There was 4 light aircraft that flew over and were quite noisy as we were visiting in that hour. Nice location next to one of the golf fairways so outlook is scenic.
