Our mother moved into this wonderful facility very frail, undernourished and sick approximately 4-5 months ago and today she is back to her old self. More energetic, so much healthier and she can’t praise the staff enough. An absolutely wonderful Aged Care Facility.
My late father had the privilege of staying at this aged care facility for a short period of time and I must say he absolutely loved it. We as a family found the management and staff to be the most wonderful people and we highly recommend this establishment. If we could give it more stars we would. They are very caring, compassionate and extremely professional and as previously advised some of the most wonderful people we have ever met. Cheers the Scaglias.

We came to visit friends here on a Sunday. We did have to do a COVID 19 test before we were even allowed to go through the front glass door which is a good idea as it protects the residents. Once we were inside, Southern Cross Care was very clean and presentable, it seemed like a lovely place for the residents. The individual rooms were a reasonable size too.
