    I doubt that there is any better Aged Care Facility. I am constantly in awe of Administrative staff, all nursing staff and the Doctor. They are the most genuinely caring and wonderful group of people you will ever meet. All residents are known well and treated as individuals. There is nothing they won’t do to ensure comfort and care of every resident. I can’t speak highly enough of them all.
