After excruciating weeks of being walked through the most depressing facilities I never knew existed, Bolton Clarke Walkerville hit us like an oasis on a desert pilgrimage. The vibe as soon as you walk in is welcoming, organic, and comforting. The staff care (especially the manager James - top bloke), and go to lengths to cater to each residents unique situations. In an industry of compromise the Walkerville home is a bastion of perseverance and dedication to the dignity and comfort of our elderly loved ones.

Allity looked after my dad for about a year and my mum for about 7 years. The facilities are spotless and well looked after and activities were good. Care, reception, and nursing staff are great. The only real failing was attention to detail with communications and care plans. Getting emails and texts from Allity to the right person in the family was a bit of a challenge, particularly if from agency staff out of hours. The care plan we saw was internally inconsistent: which makes it hard for night staff.
My first steps at Allity Walkerville made me feel at home and loved. The facility is fully equipped, spacious and tidy. The staff is friendly and experienced, taking care of the residents thoughtfully. This is really an ideal place for your loved ones!
We would like to say thank you to all the staff who cared for our mother at Walkerville. It is a difficult time we face when a parent transitions from their family home to aged care. Covid added another layer to the challenge. To the Staff, from the gorgeous girls at reception, the nurses, every day carers & the lady in the coffee shop, we thank you for your lovely smiles, helpfulness & most importantly the kindness and care given. And of course theres Simon, the leader of the pack. You were wonderful, and we thank you.
