Testimonials
| "Exactly what a rest home should be - caring, friendly and full of interesting activities to choose from. Really enjoyed my visits to see my mum. Well done all of the team." - Kate O'Malley "Just wanna say that these people are amazing. they really look after their residents and not only treat them like patients but like family. and they are also very welcoming when it comes to a residents family. my grandmother was in Puriri Court for quite a long time before she passed just over a year ago now. and it was good to see that she loved it there. she made and lost a few friends, and I met alot of nice people every time I went to visit. From me and the rest of my family, thank you so much Puriri Court for helping us all take care of our grandmother." - Dolleh Tuporo "Thank you so much for looking after mum while she has been recovering from her stroke in June. Mum's ready to go home tomorrow but we will be forever indebted to you all for your care and support over the last 4 months and helping her to be ready to go home". - AK |
