In what can only be described as a complex and emotional rollercoaster, finding the right residential aged care facility for a loved one is no small task. I feel incredibly fortunate to have met Elizabeth (Liz) at St Vincent's Aged Care Bardon during this journey. From the moment we first spoke and then met, Liz was warm, compassionate, and genuinely attentive. Her guided tour of the facility was exceptional, not just informative, but deeply personal. She took the time to truly listen and understand my mother’s needs as she transitions from her Townsville family home of over 60 years to a new chapter in Brisbane, which meant more than I can express. St Vincent's Aged Care Bardon feels exactly as it should — like a home. A place where care, dignity, and support are clearly at the heart of everything they do. I would highly recommend anyone navigating the aged care journey to take a tour of St Vincent's Aged Care Bardon. Having someone like Liz guide you through the process makes all the difference. Thank you, Liz, for your kindness, empathy, and unwavering support. Deb Aitcheson
