When my father, John, was due to leave hospital after a long-term stay, he was told he would need to arrange respite care before he would be well enough to go home. From my respite stay, we knew Vailima Gardens was first-rate and would provide Dad with the best possible care.

The manager and staff at Vailima Gardens are exceptional and arranged everything to assist Dad and attend to his needs. Dad’s health improved greatly during respite care. Dad’s doctor was so impressed he suggested Dad should consider staying longer as respite care was certainly helping him.

Dad admires and appreciates the caring and friendly staff, residents and life at. Vailima Gardens and asked if he could stay. Dad is a permanent resident now and he’s a happy and healthier guy.

My Mother was introduced to the caring establishment of Vailima Gardens, after having major surgery and requiring respite care.

After the recovery period, she felt so comfortable with the friendly staff and the readily acceptance of all the residents, she sought information to become a permanent resident.

Since mum became a resident, the family has seen a positive improvement in her well being due to the support from Vailima staff.

The excellent respite care at Vailima Gardens provided to my mother, afforded her the experience of secure independent living in an adult supporting environment
