At this moment I got no experience I have to go there on Saturday morning at nine clock, I never been There before.
My Dad (Graham Boatwright) has been very well cared for and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Thank you.
Every staff member at Opal has been absolutely fantastic in both caring for Dad, and our family, through what has been a difficult time. Their quality cannot be overstated. Thank you.
I would like to thank all at Opal Kawana for taking great care with my father. He was having a hard time dealing with dementia but nothing was too hard for the great staff looking after him till the end. Many Thanks
