Testimonials
| "I have been a resident in the Palms Rest Home for 2 years and I must say how happy I am. I came in with my mind made up to enjoy it and hoped that I would get on with all here as they would me- and it is like that. Staff from the "top to the bottom" are all very pleasant and caring. I have a lovely room which gets the afternoon sun. I enjoy a walk in the garden and join in with most activities. No restrictions at all. I had 2 days to make my decision and being Pukekohe resident for 67 years made it so much easier. It was my late husbands wish for me to come here, a home away from home." - From a happy resident, ENW. --- "After several falls, which required a hospital stay, I was encouraged by my daughter and decided to sell my unit and apply for full care at the Palms Rest Home. Like most people of my age, I found it difficult to 'give up' my home and belongings. I wondered how I would adjust to economical living. I am pleased to say after eighteen months at the rest home I am so glad I came here (so is my daughter)! The staff carers, cleaners, and cooks are all so helpful and cheerful! Donna (our entertainment organiser) helps to keep us stimulated and as active as we can be. Verna is our gardener and a very talented 'Mrs. Fix It.' She can 'turn her hand' to anything! If a light bulb goes out, it is replaced in 'no time.' What a help for our 'poor old joints.' She is a whizz with walkers too. We are also fortunate to have our washing collected everyday, washed ironed and back in our room on the same day. Just don't forget to mark your name on it! Palms is a home, not a hotel. It is where we can feel at home. Mrs Rees (Jane) makes cakes, muffins, etc., with us on a Monday morning upstairs where we all drink from fine china cups! Yes! These kind of things 'lift the spirit' and we all appreciate the effort that she makes. Thank you, Jane and God Bless you - from all 'the residents.'" - In appreciation, Pat Whittley. |
