Went to visit a neighbour of mine. I find the staff there are very caring and lovely. They made sure the cookies I brought is gluten free for my neighbour which I find is very reassuring to know.
My mum moved into Onkaparinga Lodge a month ago and I couldn't be happier. From the moment you enter, all the staff including reception, nursing, care workers, ancillary and management are delightful and welcoming and never fail to greet you with a smile and a chat. Mum is thriving, the care is exceptional. She loves the food and the activity program is amazing, including weekly bus trips. The facility is clean, smells lovely and rooms are huge and very pleasant. I feel like I've won the lottery getting a place for my mum here.
Our family member is a resident and it is within walking distance for us. All staff are delightful and caring .The residence is clean and meals are prepared on site with maximum nutritional value.
