| To the amazing staff at Whareama, thank you so much for all the love and care that you showered on Dad. Your kindness has humbled our family and we so appreciate it, as did Dad. What you do everyday is truly incredible so thank you. - Daughter of a Whareama Resident
Thank you for keeping us informed about our Grandparents progress. It's hard when you live so far away, but knowing they were in good hands helped us get through each day. You are Angels from heaven and do an incredible job. - Grandchildren of Whareama Residents We want to thank you all for the outstanding care Mum received, we appreciate everything you did to make her comfortable - the compassion you showed not only to her, but to the whole family. The little things you did were very special and something we will always remember.
