I moved my mother who has dementia to St Mary's Aged care in approx. June 2024 after having a terrible experience with an incompetent and uncaring nursing home in Kuluin. I was so nervous of going through similar again with this home but they have been extremely caring and supportive from the moment she arrived to present day. My mother is now really well settled in, loves the staff and the other residents and is absolutely thriving under their care. I'm extremely grateful I have put her in St Mary's as can now have peace of mind when it comes to her care and knowing she's well looked after. Thanks so much to all at St Mary's and do not hesitate to put your loved one in this home.
