My mother has been living at Blue Cross Gardenia for 3 years now. She suffers from dementia and gets a bit agitated at times because she doesn’t remember where she is. I can’t speak highly enough of the caring staff working there. They can calm her down when I can’t. They are very understanding and caring and never get impatient with her. The Lifestyle staff also know how to get her laughing and I can definitely recommend Blue Cross Gardenia to anyone who is going through the highly emotional task of finding a good and reputable aged care facility.

The Management and Staff at Gardenia were impeccable in assisting my father to settle into his new style of living after living alone for 30 years. A big thank you to Ian Thomas and Kirsteen Mac enzie for their excellent work during my fathers transition period......

Hi Nick I am very happy to hear that your father has settled at Gardenia, Kirsteen and Ian make the step to aged care seamless, they are both thoughtful and caring people. An admission into aged care can be very challenging and I am delighted to hear that we were here to help you and your father.
