Thanks to Kalpana and the team at Estia Wattle Glen for making the transition of my Mum's stay easier. It's a stressful time and everyone there has been amazingly kind, supportive and helpful. I would recommend anyone looking for a home or support stay to take a tour.
My father received excellent care: was treated with respect and dignity at all times, and his care was very personalised and individualised. The facility is a bit older, and not flashy looking compared to some; but the staff are so dedicated. There's really pretty garden courtyards, animal visits, and the lifestyle team go above and beyond to provide lots of special events and activities. I hope I'll never need it personally, but I wouldn't hesitate to go there myself.
I have been resident at Wattle Glen for a little over a year. I am still continually impressed by the professionalism and genuine caring of the staff. It has been a huge relief for me and my family to have this level of care available 24 hours a day. It is simply wonderful to see each resident receiving the specific individual attention they need. The surroundings are of course lovely, notably the extensive internal deck and its plantings. Also worth mentioning as a contributing factor is the excellent food, prepared according to the philosophy outlined on the website. If I could give six stars I would.
Our beautiful Dad was reluctantly coming to the realisation he needed full time care. After visiting several aged care facilities, he chose Estia at Wattle Glen. That was November 2021. Sadly he passed away during January 2026 at the age of 101. The love and care he received from the beautiful people at Wattle Glen throughout these years was truly amazing. I would like to quote from my card which I recently sent: ‘To our beautiful second family at Wattle Glen. On behalf of Howie and his family, we would like to say thank you for all the love, kindness and care you gave to our beautiful Dad. He honestly cherished his time with his Wattle Glen family that was filled with love and laughter and donkeys. Most importantly, he felt safe, secure and cared for. We will never forget the kindness everyone has shown to our precious Dad. Our hearts may be broken but our love for our Wattle Glen family remains. Thank you 🙏’ My Dad was my best friend and the most important person in my life.

My mum recently spent four weeks in Wattle Glen Aged Care and really enjoyed their care, comfort and genuine interest in her well being. It was the first time that she had been away from her family in her 103 years, except for the time she spent in the Royal Air Force during WW11, so many years ago. At first we were all a little apprehensive but the friendly staff put our concerns at rest from the moment Mum entered the centre. Their calm efficiency and obvious pleasure in caring for the people in their care was so commendable. Mum's visitors during her stay all commented on how welcome they were made to feel when they visited mum and appreciated the positive time with her. Even though I was over three thousand kilometres away in Perth, the staff kept in contact with me by phone to keep me informed as to how well Mum was going. Mum loved the staff and the meals while she was staying at Wattle Glen and is quite happy to return for another spell of respite. Thank you sincerely to all the staff at Wattle Glen, you are a great team and are all doing a terrific job. You are all greatly appreciated by Queenie's family.

Exceptional care, exceptional caring from a devoted staff who supported our entire family during incredibly tough times! We were so privileged to have such amazing people caring for my husband and to have built such wonderful relationships with them all! We are more than grateful! Thank You Everyone!
My dad was a resident at Estia Health WG for close to 4 years. He received the best possible care. The staff went above and beyond to make sure he was happy in his early days and respected a comfortable at the end. The staff at Wattle Glen made my mum feel like family. They always welcomed her (and me and my family when down from QLD) with open arms and no request was too much. It was obvious to me that they cared about my family when my dad passed away. Staff came from all directions to console my mum. A true reflection of the care given to dad. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Estia Health.
