We visit all the facilities regularly and see the warmth, care and joy that the staff provide to the elders. All the facilities radiate this warmth but with their own character and unique feel. They all have a homely feel which is so important for the people who live in them. In a rural and remote setting with such diversity of people this is a very hard achievement. This is a true testament to ARRCS and the people who work for them from top to bottom.

In my high number of ears of life I find myself in need of assistance in order to maintain a standard of living at a level of order and tidiness I have enjoyed up to now and the weekly knocking on my door of a smiling, polite and friendly person in an AARC shirt is the very pleasant answer to that problem. Very grateful, thank you!
