BUPA Tamworth has cared for mum, dad and Aunty Yvonne over the last 18+ years. When mum and dad entered BUPA, they were the ONLY aged care facility in our area that allowed them to share a bedroom. Mum and dad had been married for over 60 years and this was a very important reason as to why we chose BUPA. Mum and dad were actively involved in day to day activities and with family. Aunty Yvonne joined the BUPA Family in 2014/15. A very special lady who loved physical activity and music. For the three of them, BUPA became their ‘home’ base. All family members and friends were welcome and we all shared some good memories there. Dad (Denny Kelly) passed in 2016 and mum, Barb Kelly, passed in 2017. Now Aunty Yvonne has passed and at this time, all of our family members thank all of the staff of BUPA Tamworth for the care and loved shown to mum, dad and Yvonne over all of these years. Choosing an aged care facility for loved ones is difficult, but BUPA Tamworth put our minds at rest and cared for our loved ones like family. Thank you.
The overall experience for a family member at Bupa Aged Care has been fabulous. The facilities, staff, care and management have been outstanding. The care and commitment to the residents and family members is to be congratulated.
My dad was a resident here for many years while struggling with dementia. Even when his behaviour was at it’s worst the staff treated him with kindness and respect. Everyone from managers, nurses, AINs, food services and cleaning staff were lovely! Dad passed a few days ago and I can’t even describe how empathetic and caring Nividia and the AINs were! My sister and i were travelling from QLD to get there for dad and during the drive we were contacted to give updates often and even a very sweet phone call to check that we were doing okay on such a long and emotional drive. When we arrived we were treated with such kindness and compassion! Such an emotional time in our lives was made so much more bearable by the kind, sweet souls that cared for dad. Eternally grateful to them x
