My family inspected several homes when looking for a place for Martin and we are so very pleased with Princeton View. He receives gentle, patient care , the food is very good, and his surroundings are excellent . I could not speak too highly of all the staff but especially Gawa who has helped Martin to make a "miraculous" recovery. Ellison Marks.
First class accomodation with light filled areas and garden outlooks and access. Dad and Mum loved meeting us in the cafe with its outdoor decking or enjoying a coffee in one of the many garden spaces. But for us it’s the commitment, care and skill of Nerida and her team at PV which impressed us most. They worked together with us to provide support and care for our parents. Over time they have become a second family and we cannot thank them enough for all they have done to ensure our parents were cared for, respected, supported, and engaged. Karen and Kimberley Graham
Princeton View is simply the best. It is always difficult to make the decision to place your loved one in an aged care facility but the caring and compassionate staff at Princeton make it all so much easier. Mum was at Princeton for over 5 years and she truly found another home and family, which gave us so much comfort to know how well she was nurtured. The activities, the entertainment, the surroundings, the food and above all, the staff, make Princeton so special. We recently had to say goodbye to mum and it’s impossible to adequately express how beautifully they cared for both mum and my family during those difficult days. Princeton is simply the best!
Our family believes that Princeton View Aged Care would be rated in the top 10 Residential Aged Care Homes in Australia. Since our Mum went into Princeton View in November 2022 following a couple of medical episodes at home and subsequent hospital stays, her health and lifestyle have improved remarkably with the loving care that she receives at Princeton View. Following on from recommendations from a couple of friends, we were put at ease in Mum's first week by the sales, management, and nursing teams on our first few visits to Princeton View. Our Mum settled in quickly and felt safe and cared for by the wonderful team of nurses and carers, and soon started to gain some much needed weight from the plentiful quality food. We watched her health improve over a number of months with her loving Princeton View family who treat each resident like their own parents. Mum is now thriving in her luxurious care home, and under the guidance of the amazing lifestyle team, is entertained daily by singers, musicians, and interesting and relevant talk sessions, as well as her regular bus outings and weekly art classes that she loves. We can't thank Nerida, Nabin, and all the Princeton team enough for the amazing changes that they have all made to our Mum's lifestyle and care.
Our experience at Princeton View has been outstanding! The team at Princeton View are absolutely amazing and what makes the care here so special; they’re all so compassionate, attentive, professional and genuinely care. Mum is thriving here, she loves her room, the cafe, the activities and the staff, she is happier than ever since making Princeton View her new home. Thank you to everyone for welcoming Mum with such kindness and understanding, and always ensuring she is safe and happy.
I want to extend my gratitude and appreciation for the beautiful staff at Princeton View who have looked after my mother so well. From the moment I stepped in, I felt the compassion and care from all staff- from cleaners, to admin, to the carers and amazing nurses!! It’s a hard decision moving your parents out of their home, but we are so glad we have found her new forever home! A special shout out to the diligent and professional afternoon nurse, Angelica. I hope her and the wonderful staff receive the recognition they deserve!
