What families are saying

William was recently here for respite, wanted to let staff know how grateful and relieved how good an experience William had here. It is the best he has felt in a long time. Felt staff could not have cared for him better from office to cleaning, kitchen, management and care staff. A very big thank you and he will be back.

I am so pleased with the work that has been done for my Ken. The staff have put in so much effort to keep him happy and safe and to stop him rolling out of bed. I am so happy with the interventions, and I particularly love the projector on his roof.

I would like to say that while my father, Basil van Dongen, has been a resident, we have been impressed and encouraged by the care and compassion shown by the staff at Baw Baw Views. It gives us significant peace of mind to know that he is being well cared for. While issues have arisen from time to time, as they do in life, we have felt comfortable raising them with staff and they have always been dealt with in a civil, professional and considerate manner.
