My father has recently taken permanent care at Wahroonga Place. From the moment I walked through the door I felt so much admiration towards all the staff. They have taken the time to talk with us regarding how they can manage individual needs and to date they are far exceeding all my expectations. The care and respect shown is amazing and I can now be at ease that my father is in exceptional hands. Thank you to John, Sunny. Prabin and all the wonderful members of staff for all your care.

In my personal experience this is one of the best nursing home I have ever visited becouse the level of professional care is second to none and in is a place it truly has a real heart and soul and with a team of caring professionals . Wahroonga Place is not just about the furnishings to impress the visitors visiting only , Wahroonga place truly cares about its residents and it must be on a consideration list for anyone’s loved ones .
I have been able to visit a friend at wahroonga place and have found this home to be very caring. The staff all show respect and acknowledge our Chinese heritage. The food is served with much consideration of cultural needs and is very tasty. The staff listen to my friend and are able to offer her help when needed. There has been a big improvement since the new management team came into the home and my friend tells me how happy she is living here.
Congratulations Wahroonga Place team, I have just returned from 4 weeks overseas, the team led by Lynn did a terrific job caring for my Aunt, who doesn't have many visitors. They kept me informed, looked after her birthday and made her feel special in my absence. Well done all involved....David G
In late November 22 I sadly had to place my mum into a nursing home. Her Alzheimer’s had become to hard for us to care for her at home. Like most the thought of placing mum into care was a very daunting and stressful. From my first contact with Wahroonga Place I experienced a level of care and true empathy I did not receive with any other care home in trying to locate a permanent placement for mum. Since mum has been in the care of Wahroonga Place She and my family have experience great care from all of the nursing staff in particular RN Neelum and nursing staff Kamal, Jasbir, Jenabu, Zainab and Rita who I can’t fault in anyway their dedication to the residents and families. Since Tracey became Manager of the home earlier this year the home has made a very noticeable improvement to the overall care of residents and facilities. I have also seen the difference she has made to improving the interactions between the residents and their engagement with each other and families. If like me you are new to the world of aged care and are looking to have a loved one cared for with dignity and empathy I sincerely recommend Wahroonga Place. Be assured that Tracey and her team will care for your loved one in a clean safe home. They will be fed very well with freshly cooked meals from a wide ranging menu. To Tracey, Lynn, Fiona and her wonderful nursing team i thank you for the love you have shown to my Mum my Dad and my family.
Having a background in Nursing helps me to compare the quality of care provided by Opal with leading private hospitals and other aged care facilities. I am highly appreciate of the care provided to my elderly mother-in-law. At both the physical & nutritional levels Opal is a standout. I've been involved with some of the glass & chrome homes which can be let down by indifferent or overworked staff. Opal is the reverse. They rank highly with regard to the care offered. Their General Manager Vick, at their Wahroongah home, is very personable and helpful. He enjoys interacting with residents and surprises me with how well he knows their names and individual needs. Vick works with a highly dedicated and warm team. This is an aged care facility that can be trusted to look after your loved ones and give them a good quality of life. Thanks to all the staff at Opal. Life is so much less stressful knowing my mother-in-law is being so well cared for. Kerryanne L.
