My mum has been a resident here for almost a year and while the facility is lovely and new, we’re more impressed with the staff. There is a high level of care and attention from all levels of the team, from the kitchen, cleaners, carers and nurses as well as from the admin team. We’ve also been surprised at the retention of staff and mum has had great continuity of care since moving in, with them all knowing her by name and her personal care preferences. We’re so grateful to all the team at Estia St Ives.
My Aunt had to move into Aged Care rather abruptly. This in itself was such a challenging & emotional situation and we found the team, at Estia St Ives were just outstanding. Lorisa was just the sort of person we needed - a very special person and sensitive to all we were going through. While my Aunt's time there was short, it provided her with a safe & very comfortable environment for the final weeks of her life. All the staff have been so wonderful, gentle, sensitive and caring. We couldn't have been more pleased with our decision.
My Aunt moved into Estia St Ives in February 2025. She was reluctant at first having supported herself up to the age of 99. Everyone at Estia made her feel welcome and nothing was ever too much trouble. They were able to settle her in with very little fuss and it was a huge weight off our shoulders. My aunt had been fiercely independent but found her feet at Estia and began to enjoy herself, becoming involved in activities, and enjoying the additional benefits of the cafe and hairdresser on site. She celebrated her 100th birthday with family and friends and was made to feel very special by all the staff. My aunt passed away 7 months after her 100th birthday and the empathy and compassion shown by all was very comforting and allowed us the time and space we needed to grieve. Estia St Ives a home i would recommend.
5 stars are not enough!! My wife and I checked out more than 15 aged care facilities across the Lower North Shore for my elderly parents and Estia St Ives was the clear winner. The quality of the facility is absolutely first class with their beautiful rooms, break out spaces, verandahs, gardens and a lovely cafe. Having a secure memory support area is a wonderful addition, which helped “future proof” for my father’s dementia. But most of all, it’s about the people and the quality of care. They are all outstanding and we regard them as family. Sadly my father passed away in late January. The care and love shown by the people looking after him and my mother has been incredible. I honestly couldn't recommend Estia St Ives more highly and wish you all the best with your search.

We really want to highlight the exceptionally good experience provided by the whole team to transituon our mother into aged care. Particularly Lorisa, Natalie and Sonya went the extra mile to ensure everything went smoothly. Estia St Ives is a very new facility that hs been equipped with resident's needs in mind. There are many facilities easily accessible in-house. The dining facilities are a great meeting place with menus available well in advance. The monthly activities calendar is extensive and there's something to do for everyone. This includes external trip to outside locations. I would recommend this option for anyone in the market.
We’ve had a fantastic experience since Mum moved into Estia Health St Ives in July ‘25. Lorisa, Natalie and Sonya are a wonderful team who lead well, listen and really made the transition into aged care so much easier. They go above and beyond to care about the residents and ensure everything runs smoothly. Really wonderful as we had so many questions and concerns before we moved. The facilities are excellent, rooms are fresh, clean, with modern and plenty of storage. The carers are patient, kind and supportive. The physios, hairdressers and baristas are all excellent, Mum loves most the extra activities and there are multiple gardens and private spaces to get some privacy. I really recommend Estia St Ives, its been great experience for us all, transition from your home into care is hard but the team at Estia Health St Ives made it so much better.
