What families are saying

My wife entered Lyndoch Living on 28 December and I have been fortunate enough to be able to visit heron a regular basis three times a week. These visits last from four to six hours each day. I have great admiration for all of the staff [...] in terms of their patience, professionalism and empathy with the residents. Your staff selection process has been very successful. The meals provided are of high quality and I have commented on a number of times that the meals are much higher quality than those that I used to provide my wife. To conclude I believe that both my wife and I are extremely fortunate that she has been able to find accommodation in Lyndoch Living. In conclusion, thank you for your care.

My brother has been at Costa House for respite & is currently transitioning into permanent care. This has been a big move for both Lindsay and his family but the staff & office people have been most compassionate and helpful - steering us gently through the process and making it quite seamless.

As a family we have had a 13-year relationship with RM Begg Aged Care, with both my mother and mother-in law being residents. My mother was a resident for over 9 years and mother-in law for almost 3. During this time, the staff provided quality care and friendship to both. The home-like environment ensured that they were treated with respect and kindness and our visits were welcomed. Their individual needs were met and nothing was too much bother.

The community is buzzing with how great Tongala is now. Tongala has come a long way from where it was a few months ago. Well done to everyone for restoring Tongala's former glory back.

Since Respect have taken on the task of running Chaffey [House], we have both noticed that the level of care to our mother-in-law has increased and she seems much more at ease. We have also noticed a clear increase in staff morale since Respect have taken over and the new uniforms look much more professional [...] In closing, we think that Respect taking on the task of operating Chaffey House has been the best thing that could have possibly happened as we can certainly see improvements across the whole operations of the site. We are extremely happy that our family member is a resident and that she is obtaining the best care she can get.

[...] I genuinely appreciate being kept regularly informed, as it makes a significant difference when living some distance away from my grandmother. The updates provide reassurance and help me feel connected and confident in her care. Thank you for the ongoing communication and support.
