In 2023 I had to find a nursing home for my Mother, this was the last home I looked at and it went to number 1 on my list. My dad had to go into care in 2024 and naturally we chose Estia for him to reside in dad said on his first day at Estia he was treated like a King and felt welcomed and loved. My Mum was always happy each time I went to visit her and you could clearly see the staff care for her was genuine and of course she had them wrappedaroundher little finger 🥰. All of the staff there are top of the class friendly attentive, managers act immediately with any issues not that we had many. My Father became Palliative care and I didn't want him to be in the hospital management made it possible for Dad to receive Palliative care in the nursing home that meant more to me than anything not only did the staff care for my dad but for me also as I stayed with my Dad in his room until he passed. Even then the Estia family came together and supported us and my mum. My mum recently passed away and you could see the genuine care and sadness on the staffs face's they cared for her so well. I would not hesitate for one moment to recommend Estia South Morang for your loved ones care.
Mum has settled in extremely well. All the staff are caring, attentive, extremely friendly and very approachable. The lifestyle program, along with the meals are excellent. Management made the transiton into care seamless. At such an over whelming time, all my questions were answered and followed up. Over all the facility has a warm, friendly- homely atmosphere, which I would highly recommend.
Mums happy. Family happy with how the staff look after her and her concerns. She was at another place in whittlesea which was not very safe, and all about the money. Highly recommend for your loved one to get the service they require.
The place is excellent as I have my mother in for two weeks and husband full time. The staff and management cannot do enough for you. Only down fall in weekends with short staff and the cleaning. Definitely five stars 🥰
Rated 5 out of 5.
Father in law been here for 1 year and cannot recommend highly enough. Plenty of well trained and caring staff, fantastic food and well equipped private rooms.
My parents had respite here A couple of times this year. Renee and her team were able to accomodate us at very short notice. The staff were always calling us direct should any issues had arisen.
Rated 5 out of 5.
My mum has been in Estia South Morang for 5 months. Mum initially had some respite. She gets treated as part of the family (as do I). The staff are very caring and attentive. She enjoys the weekly concerts and activities very much. Her room is large and we have been able to furnish it to her liking. Thanks Estia.
