LILY MATKOVIC
Hi Sarah, thank you for organising today and last visit too. You are an asset to Kardinia Parkside Care Community, your people skills reflect throughout the environment and in all your staff. Leaving dad with you guys today felt so nice. No regrets, no worry, only a good feeling. He looked comfortable and satisfied with where he is, it was as though we left him with family. Kath at the front desk and the friendly and caring staff all added to the easy, laid back feel and the transition from hospital to kardinia parkside. ( thank you Kathy for helping me with the paper work process). Dad also felt familiar, coming back to his old room. Seeing Karen was the cherry on top. I hadn't seen her since high school. Was lovely. Your group generate such a lovely vibe within your home, its truely a blessing for all of us Thank you Kindest regards Lily & family

Our duo played at Kardinia Parkside for happy hour today. What beautiful place it is, so vibrant with a big family atmosphere, very impressive. The staff were amazing, so welcoming. The residents were a delight! Wheelchair bound or not, they moved and grooved. Loved it, cannot wait to return ! xxx

I would thoroughly recommend placing your loved one here. My mother is currently a resident within the Kardinia Parkside community. Since joining, the staff have actively engaged her in activities that suit her needs and abilities. This has given her a purpose and has improved her health considerable. She looks younger, is more active and is a lot better health than before when she was at home. The staff are amazing, from the administration staff, the cleaners and all the PCA’s and Nurses. Doctors visit onsite and an RN is onsite and will visit at the drop of a hat. They serve a wide variety of food, have fantastic facilities and the rooms are quite spacious. The underground car park makes it easy to visit and if you have a question, everyone is happy to help! It gives me great peace of mind to know that my mum is safe and sound.

A friend of mine has not had a happy time. Had to wait forever for staff to take him to toilet and was abused by staff because they were too busy. Pain relief was withheld and only reinstated when his doctor phoned. Relatives were not notified when he was sent to hospital until they phoned to enquire about him. Not a happy place. What a shame to be treated so poorly at end of life.

Kardinia Parkside delivered high quality, customised aged care to my mum. Sarah & Tami went above & beyond, ensuring my mum was comfortable, visiting her in hospital in their own time. The staff are next level amazing! Kardinia Parkside was ‘home’ for Mum. Thank you for treating Mum like family! ♥️

Tamie’s knowledge of Aged Care, his facility and expertise in pricing was exemplary. No one else has been able to explain the aged care pricing /process as well as him. He is a credit to his organisation. Kardina P had up market hotel with full time care vibe. Clean, well staffed, happy residents.

    Thank you for your great feedback regarding Tamil, we have shared this with him. We appreciated your kind review of our Care Community where we always strive to bring joy to our residents. Thanks, Sarah

Suitably impressed with service and food. I feel sorrry for the staff having to wear the uselss masks, and making it difficult for me with only partial hearing. Fear of Covid resumed, now meals served in our rooms. Daily samples for a nonspecific test continue.

I have been unfortunate enough to be at this hell hole for two years now slowly rotting away while the nurses and staff check up on you for barely 10 seconds a day just so they can get a pay check the other week a man by the name of Ralph passed on last Sunday and the staff didn’t realise until Wednesday night how disgusting I really feel sad for his family and friends for wasting there money brining him here! The food is absolutely horrid too on Monday night we had burnt chicken and vegetables straight out of the freezer two people ended up breaking there dentures eating the vegetables and needed a whole new pair and then on Tuesday we had mouldy bread and yogurt two weeks past its expiry date! It’s like there trying to kill us just so they can make a profit off of us poor elderly Shame shame shame! Save your time and your money relatives of sick elders because hell is better then this place!
