Testimonials
| "I love that I can hold my head up and boast about where my father lives, when so many of my generation really struggle with where their parents are." Cecilia "Yesterday I was lucky enough to be able to assist with an outing to the Ellerslie Races with some of the Ranfurly residents. I would like to pass on observations/comments to those that organised this excellent day out. We had an amazing viewpoint for the racing and residents did not have far to walk to place a bet. People enjoyed a meal along with a beverage whilst soaking up the atmosphere. I engaged with people who talked about their time at the races in years gone by and noting the differences of today. I would like to say that one resident expressed to me that "this has been one of the best outings I have been on". The genuine enthusiasm from all was palpable, so much so that people did not wish to return as per the schedule. Laughter that was enjoyed by all was for me the highlight of the day, please pass on my thanks to Anastasiya/Savitri for a well planned and thoroughly enjoyable day and I look forward to being of assistance anytime in the future." Kind regards Sonya "Ranfurly Village provides a caring environment for my Mother. The staff are wonderful and the beautiful facilities are designed with the older person in mind. I can’t think of a better home." Felicity “I work in palliative care and I recently accompanied my dear friends granddaughter to visit him at Ranfurly Hospital. We were greeted warmly and given the appropriate details of his care plan in a very professional manner. It was obvious to us that John was being exceptionally well cared for and kept very comfortable.” Louise “I visit Ranfurly Hospital regularly to spend time with my husband. I have never once worried about his care, the staff are exceptional and go to great measures to make sure that he is well looked after.” Kate “It is great to know that there is the option of clinical care on site at Ranfurly. My husband recently had to move to the hospital and was in palliative care, the staff were wonderful and it was so easy to visit him. I also needed to spend some time in respite care at the Hospital and experienced the exceptional care first hand. It gives me peace of mind to know that when I do need help I don't have to move away from Ranfurly Village and that I can relocate to the hospital and enjoy the beautiful surroundings there.” Mary |
