If you are looking for somewhere to put your loved one, this is the place. My mum has been in care here for over a year now and I could not recommend this facility enough. The level of care is 10000% The care is genuine by every single staff member. Nothing is a bother to them. So professional. There are not enough words to describe how fantastic this facility is. Thank you so much to all the staff for making my mum feel so important and welcome. Fiona palmer

Atten: Management & Staff A wordsmith would find it challenging to express gratitude to the entirety of your team at Uniting Garden Suburb. Indeed, the care presented to residents and visitors is fathomless. As known by your unwavering team, my brother Tony Mulroy has been restfully harboured within the flow of your loyalty. Thank you, interlaced with warm wishes to all, Peter Mulroy AFAIM MAITD
Staff are doing a good job caring for my friend. Thankyou
Very impressed with the standard of care and genuine helpfulness displayed by every single member of staff to all residents. If I could give them 6 stars I would!
Our brother 66, who has dementia went into Garden Suburb in November 2021, he settled in really well since day one. The staff and residents have made him welcome, he can spend time on his own and join in the different activities as he wishes. Even though our brother went in the nursing facility during the Covid outbreak, they have made sure the residence are kept healthy and happy. We have peace of mind knowing we made the right decision in placing our brother where he is. Everyone from Management to the nursing staff are all wonderful, keeping us informed off all we need to know about our loved one health and well-being. Our brother absolutely loves where he is and all the staff. Thel
