Gertrud Wilhelmina van de Laarschot, nee Schoonbrood passed away at 7:23 am on 28 August 2024 at the Canberra Aged Care facility in Lyneham Canberra ACT. She passed away peacefully and was in no discomfort through the care she received from the doctors, nurses and aged care staff at Lyneham. Throughout her lifetime she was beloved by everyone who had the opportunity to have met her and adored by her family as she was the heart of the family through the love that she gave to every family member. My mother brought me into this world and I am very happy to have been there as she left this world to be with her two daughters and many other family members. I can’t thank all the staff at Canberra Aged Care enough, you are just incredible

So much bad publicity about aged care but we have been involved with Canberra Aged Care Facility for quite a while and they maintain a quality respectful home that allows my family to sleep at night knowing my family is in good hands. Thank you.

I have nothing but admiration for the care staff and their attention given to my wife. Thank you.geoff.
