We would like to thank Carinya aged care carers, and staff for the exceptional care they gave our loved one Josef Scheicher over many years. Joe was not mobile and suffered from dementia he had good days and bad, but he was always treated with respect, and kindness the carers interacting with him to get a smile. All the staff including the cleaning staff were all so lovely and we believe they went above and beyond to make him feel they really cared for him. Thankyou all so much. We would like to express our appreciation and a special thankyou to Rhonda for taking the time to come to Joe’s memorial, sharing some of her memories with us, and adding her special little touch of love and light. Our kindest regards to you all Sue, Gerhard, and Leonie.
caring staff. very homely feel.
