We have had an excellent 4 weeks here for respite at Estia Kensington Gardens. Ross and I wish to thank everyone who cared for us so well. The staff were wonderful, kind and thoughtful at all times. We will miss the residents too. Anna and the nursing team were very efficient and kind. Special thanks to Daniel and Shruthi who were so attentive and thoughtful. If we knew all the names I would have them here. So hope they will remember how grateful we are. Thank you again to Seth, so kind, and Emily and all who are part of the team here. Liz and Ross

My mother Diana spent the last ten years of her very long life at Estia Kensington Gardens. The home has always felt very peaceful and homely and her carers have always treated her gently with respect and kindness at all times. Shortly after her arrival, we held a party for her hundredth birthday in the private entertaining rooms, a perfect setting in what was a beautiful old home. The staff at the time made it all so easy. Staff , of course, come and go, but during the decade that Diana lived at the home, the one thing that remained constant was the care and empathy the staff have always displayed and their friendliness to friends and family. On many occasions I witnessed the care long before staff members were aware of my presence. I came to so appreciate the sometimes difficult work which was necessary as my mother became more frail and confined to a princess chair. I am very grateful to every member of staff who cared so well for her for over ten years and for the compassion shown to her family during the last hours of her life.
We are very pleased with the care our loved one has received during their time residing at Estia Health Kensington Gardens. From the very beginning our Mum has been treated with respect and kindness by the administration, nursing staff, carers and caterers. Mum is always referred to by name and greeted with a smile. There is always a lovely warm welcome to visitors when entering the front door and nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. The wonderful lifestyle staff make it a priority to be familiar with Mum's interests and always included her in outings they knew she would enjoy. There are always organised incursions and activities that keep her entertained and happy. Her room is lovely and spacious and her comfort is made a priority. The catering staff provide nutritious and appetising meals, served with a smile. Visitors are always offered beverages and morning tea. Mum thoroughly enjoys meal times! Mum is regularly visited by her GP and the communication by the nursing staff is excellent. We are even able to bring in the family dog every visit and this brings Mum (and other residents and staff) much joy and happiness. Overall, Mum is safe, happy and well cared for. It has been a very positive experience.
