Very happy with the care

I would like to express our sincere appreciation for all the care you provide at Garden Village. My son has been with you for almost 2 years and he and us as his parents are very happy with the care you tend to him. So keep up the good work. We hope things get a bit better for all the staff & eliminate Covid.

Quick helpful nurse call

When we have a nurse call she assesses whether we should just take a panadol or go and see a doctor that is very helpful. If we call a nurse she arrives rapidly. Thank you.

Well looked after

I would really like to express my thoughts of gratitude to the amazing staff at Garden Village on the care and support they provide to my mother every day. She is so well looked after and I feel that I never have to worry about any part of her care. Mum is living her best life. Thank you again to each and everyone of you.

Staff go the extra mile

Many thanks to the nursing staff and all employees at Garden Village. My wife Janice is one of the Residents in the Lodge. The care and understanding of all staff is very impressive and appreciated. I have nothing but praise for the way my wife and other Residents are being cared for. Staff go the extra mile to ensure the comfort and well being of Residents. Staff carry out their duties in a friendly and efficient manner which is very much appreciated. All areas are spotlessly clean and hygienic and the food provided is of high quality. I take comfort in knowing that my wife and other residents are in excellent care. Thank you Garden Village.

Dedicated, kind and patient

There are no words special enough to describe all the staff at Garden Village and in particular those who work in Westerweller caring for my mum Ursula. You are all so dedicated, tireless, understanding, patient, kind, and considerate. You all give so much of your selves in a setting so challenging. You allow my mum dignity at the sunset of her life. Thank you all for everything.

Great job

My family live in Queensland but they are comforted knowing that I am safe and if I become unwell I will be looked after. The nurses all do a great job.

Bring a smile to her face

Living almost 3 hours away from Mum knowing she is being cared for makes the separation easier. The nursing staff and care givers bring a smile to her face and look out for her welfare on a daily basis. I love that they enjoy her humour and can also use humour when tending her. For this I sincerely thank you.

Fiona Johnson

Thank you all for the wonderful care my mother gets every day , it is a relief that she is well looked after and as comfortable as possible. You are all caring and compassionate and work very hard but are still ready to lend an ear.

Professional and caring

Jean Chesher was one of the most professional and caring RNs I had the privilege and pleasure to work with. I always felt our Wintergarden residents and staff were very fortunate indeed to have Jean in charge. Good luck Jean, i am sure you will be just as busy looking after others in your retirement as you have done in your working life.
