Terrible experience
Both my parents are here and I couldn't be happier with it.
My mother Nancy who suffers from Dementia, has been a resident at Carramar for almost 3 years now. Prior to going there my mother lived on her own, she never socialised and was very much a loner, even though over the years after my fathers passing, my brother and I did our best encouraging her to go out, join clubs etc. When mum moved in at Carramar, it continued on that way for a period of time, but the staff never gave up on her to get involved, with it starting out as simply chatting with others during meal times. Now my mum regularly attends activities at the community centre and goes out on bus outings, something I never thought I would see. The staff at Carramar go above and beyond in caring for the residents and my mother is fortunate to be a recipient of that care. Happy New Year to the staff at Carramar. Jodie
