Testimonials
| A homely place where residents and family are treated with the utmost care and understanding by devoted staff and management. Could not as a family ask for more and are glad our Dad is part of this wonderful environment.....Sue From our first meeting with Minoo and Sharon Mum has been treated like a member of the family. The facility is so light and open and I love the views from the rooms- the outdoor area and the coffee shop are a welcoming area. Thanks St Kilda for making an environment where Mum can feel safe and cared for....Nikki I have been at St Kilda a week and I have enjoyed the care and delightful staff and I hope to improve my well being over time. I could not have chosen better...Marie I came to St Kilda when it first opened. I really like the whole clean atmosphere and the friendly attitude of staff. Everyone is very helpful and the food is great. ....George. The best thing I like is to hear all the laughter, esp of the staff and if I ask for help you get it. It is really the most marvelous place to stay...Elly |
