A massive thank you to the wonderful staff who look after my grandma, they are so cheerful and she feels relaxed and happy.
A huge thank you to Rach & Petra for making what is such a stressful time such a smooth transition for my Nan & all of our family. The staff are exceptional and so welcoming & helpful. Thank you to Fiona for getting Nan involved in activities and assisting her going to Gumboots Childcare centre to see her Great Grandchildren. This program is absolutely amazing. We are so happy that Nan is settling in at Riddell Gardens and we have made the right decision putting her in such a great facility. We can’t thank you enough.
