Both our parents, June and Alan, spent their final years calling this fabulous aged care facility home. As a family, we will never be able to thank Sarah and her amazing team enough for all of their love, care, kindness and respect that they gave them daily. How blessed is Kyneton to have such a great facility on their doorstep! We wish you all nothing but longevity and success to continue into the future.
