"Sea Lake staff's care of my mum"

About: Carinya Hostel Kaleesa Nursing Home

(as a carer),

Long story short my mum who is 101 in very good health but didn’t want to stay on her own and was getting a bit much for her children. She could no longer cook and we’d been trying to convince to check out Sea Lake. 

We finally convinced her to go to Sea Lake to check it out and of all the places, she liked Sea Lake best, but she wasn’t ready to move in there.

Then we ended up getting her some respite there. Long story short, she had respite and when her respite time was up, she cried. She didn’t want to leave. She wouldn’t eat, went off her food and everything. So they did a bit of juggling and got her in there and she’s now there full time.

The staff there are just magnificent and are just so caring. The laundry lady folds up the laundry so neat. The chefs cook their own meals there. She is participating in all the activities and loving all the activities. I think my mum is just so lucky to get in there.

Dear dancewj89,

Thank you for taking the time to post your positive experience at Sea Lake nursing home. Transitioning to full time care can be stressful for the resident and their family so we are delighted your mum's experience has been a positive one. Your feedback will be relayed to our staff as it is appreciated and acknowledges the values we work to uphold. Your comments will also be reassuring to other families facing a similar pathway. We are fortunate to be able to offer care in a home like environment with the whole team contributing.

Sincerely

Leanne Adcock
