Thank you
To Jane and all staff,
Just to formalize my feedback to you all.
After many years with both Maeroa Lodge and Kensington,
I am happy to inform you that my recent stay was terrific and enjoyable.
Why? Because I enjoyed participating in the daily activities and in particular the very friendly & helpful staff.
Cheers Paul Kurtich
My experience
I found the service at Kensington to be beyond reproach. The friendly caring staff looked after my relative with the utmost interest and care. They all knew my name, when I visited and were very approachable. The facilities were clean and tidy at all times, while providing a warm and care atmosphere. I have no hesitation in recommending this residential care facility and commend Jane Morgan on her competent organisation.

Testimonials
| Dear Brien,
My recent experience in Kensington was excellent care given to my mother, the staff were helpful and friendly towards my mother and my family this was greatly appreciated at the time of need. The activities programme gave residents choices, the exercise circuit is something individual and fine dining by invitation is involving residents and families. The nurse kept me informed of any concerns and the healthcare assistant attention to detail meeting my mothers care needs you could not fault, a credit to Jane Morgan Manager and her team of staff. |
