I've been to this place twice in February, 2021. The Age Care Centre is conveniently and not far from Wollongong, located. I found the facility to be neatly serviced, both for the care needing residents and the visitors needing a hassle-free parking. The staff seemed to be very friendly and professional. I found the facility to be very clean. There is adequate common space and outdoor area for residents.
An amazing care facility for My loved One 💕
