Calvary The Highbury

Calvary The Highbury is an excellent nursing home. The nurses and care workers there are highly professional and dedicated. Here, I would like to extend my special gratitude to Nurse Lili for her meticulous care and professional services to the residents. She not only provides attentive medical care to my mother, but also treats every elderly resident equally in her daily work, always wearing a smile and being patient and thorough. Whether it is for the disabled elderly with limited mobility or those with cognitive disorders experiencing emotional fluctuations, Lili responds with empathy, promptly identifies their needs, and proactively offers help, never neglecting anyone due to individual differences. As family members, we feel greatly reassured. Lili interprets the dignity and warmth of nursing work with her actions, and is a well-deserved role model for nurses in nursing homes.

At the nursing home where my mother resides, every corner radiates care and respect.‌ I'm especially grateful to the manager, Sammi, for her attentive support and efficient assistance during my mother's stay. Her professionalism, compassion, and warmth have greatly eased the anxieties of both residents and their families. She always prioritizes the needs of the elderly, patiently listening to their thoughts and wishes, guarding their golden years with sincerity and dedication. The nurses and caregivers here are exceptionally heartwarming.‌ They are not only skilled and meticulous in tending to residents' health but also remember each elder's preferences and habits. Whether offering daily greetings, assisting with routines, or providing companionship, they do so with unwavering patience and gentleness, turning solitary moments into warmth and comfort. The meals here are equally acclaimed.‌ The chef thoughtfully balances nutrition with moderate, fresh flavors—catering to health needs while delivering delightful satisfaction. Every warm meal embodies genuine care for the elders. Life here transcends basic care; it’s filled with warmth, dignity, and happiness.‌ Residing in such a place is truly fortunate. I will wholeheartedly recommend this nursing home to anyone in need. My deepest gratitude goes to all staff and the management team for their kindness and dedication.

Mum has been in Calvery close to 3 years now and we are really happy with the services she received. The place always kept very clean and she loved the food there as well. Very friendly and caring staffs and nurses. We get regular updates from Sami about how mum is going and which medication she has taken etc. Special thanks to Sami and all the staffs who have taken such good care of mum. We are really grateful. Many thanks to everyone in Calvery Helen

The Highbury was my family's second home. My father had been living with Alzheimer disease, but after a major stroke, our family made the painful decision to place him into aged care. He was a resident at the Highbury for five years until he became a star in the sky. As the Alzheimer disease advanced, staff remained professional and adaptable, while also being a support to our family, as it was difficult to watch dad progress to the later stages of the disease. From cleaners, to kitchen, to lifestyle, to carers, to allied health, to admin, to maintenance, to nursing staff, they all will listen and welcome your feedback. I believe this is because the staff at the Highbury understand that this is someone's home, rather than just a work place. The Highbury is an exemplary of how an aged care facility should be. I hope the aged care sector continues to improve so that carers are recognised for their contribution and that more permanent roles are offered to them. My family will always be grateful to have known and felt welcomed by the carers and staff at the Highbury.

My mum was accepted as permanent resident in Calvary The Highbury on Boxing Day of 2025. Initially, she as accepted as Respite for 2 weeks before she became permanent. We were impressed by the hospitality of Calvary The Highbury staff when we expressed interest in the facility. The manager and her deputy paid a lot of attention to our request to stay there. My mum was quickly allocated a room and she appreciated the quick response of the staff when she press the button for help. The kitchen was also responsive to her need to eat puree food. The food was ground to very fine particles so she was able to eat them. The facility there was good. For examples, the rooftop resting area is good for gathering when a number of people visiting mum at the same time.
