I find the staff extremely helpful and very pleasant. Staff also are interested in finding out about mum’s likes dislikes, her history and her family so they get to know her better. The care my mother is receiving appears wonderful. There are many activities that residents can participate in if they are capable from morning exercise to sing songs. The food served to my mother looks absolutely delicious. It’s been a month but hope all continues this way in the future

The staff are always friendly, polite and happy to help. The event calendar is great - informs the family of the activities occurring each fortnight. Couldn’t be happier with the room! And the food is fantastic! So glad we chose Rutherford Park! We love visiting, even taking our dog to see Mum.

Moving our Mum into care and over 400km's to be near us was made so much easier than we had anticipated. The Care Staff and Management are fantastic at what they do and go the extra mile. Our Mum is settling in very well and is quite content.
