Is there a contact number for the facility over the weekend
Our mum was a resident in Anam Cara for the last two and a half years of her life. The wonderful care given to her made her feel well looked after, safe, secure, happy and loved. She had lots of jokes and laughter and shared in some of the great social experiences offered. Mum loved the visits from the support animals when they came around. The food that I saw always looked appealing and healthy with options to cater for different appetites and preferences. We were happy to see her so well cared for and allowed visit times to be worry free and enjoyable. We can’t thank everyone there enough - they made a huge difference in mum’s life as well as her family.
We hear so many horror stories about aged care facilities but Anam Cara is nothing like that. The Eden Alternative that they have accreditation for should be the way that all care facilities operate. I cannot speak more highly of the love and care that was given to my husband whilst a resident in their facility. I have spoken to the families of other residents and I have been told that over time they have selected Anam Cara for the care of multiple family members. If I ever need care I would hope this would be where I would be. Thank you Anam Cara.

Thank you to the wonderful staff at Anam Cara. You went out of your way for my Dad and went beyond what you needed to do for us. My family and on behalf of my Dad are forever grateful. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Rated 4 out of 5.
Good staff. Very clean. Good size rooms.
My Dad had been cared for in the last 13 months and was totally bed bound. You will never get a lovelier bunch of absolute angels looking after your loved one ever. We cannot praise the staff highly enough. Mrs. Dale Marshall
