Testimonials
| A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful staff at McKenzie HealthCare for their outstanding care and compassion during (Mum's) stay. I would like you to thank your staff for the exceptional care and kindness shown towards my Mother and Family. Thank you all for looking after us all as well as Mum. To all the staff at McKenzie, with sincere appreciation of the love and kindness you have all shown our Mum. A heartfelt "THANK YOU" for all the love and kindness given to (name) and me over the past 2 years, he really couldn't have been in a better place! He felt this was his home and that's because of you all!! I miss him and I miss you... Thank you for all the love and care of Dad. It means so much. Thank you ... for taking care of Mum with love over the couple of years this was her home. Thank you for the wonderful care of Dad during his time at McK.H. Dad enjoyed getting to know some of you a little and cherished conversations on a wide range of topics. As Dad entered the final stage of his life I will always be indebted to (staff) who sat with him until I could get there. My brother and I will never forget the support and kindness shown to us in the last 48 hours of Dad's Life. When the time came to relinquish daily care of my wife I told her that others could care for her better than I could. At that time I had no idea where she might go. After 2 weeks in hospital she found a bed at McKenzie HealthCare. What a godsend!! Her 39 days in their care can not be faulted. The staff showed her great respect and love and good cheer. She regarded them all as friends. We appreciated their devotion to caring for (my wife). We give them all a pat on the back from our family and the many visitors (she) enjoyed. Bruce |
