There are many reasons why people enjoy living at Enliven’s Kandahar Home. We asked some of the residents that live there what they like the most about their home.
“It’s wonderful here. There’s no pressure; it has a relaxed atmosphere right through and the staff are wonderful. Everything is taken care of.” – Glennys. “This place is so homely - it doesn’t remind me of a rest home, and the staff are what makes it home here.” – Laurie. “At Kandahar all my medical needs are taken care of and they don’t make me feel like a patient.” – Keith. “There are activities happening every day and I’ve made a lot of friends – there are some real characters living here.” – Kath. “There’s always someone to talk to so I never get lonely. I’ve got people around me all the time if I want, but I can be by myself when I want as well.” – Barbara. “Kandahar is in town but it’s a rural area. I can still see the horses in the paddock next door when I look out my window. It’s home here.” – Hazel. |
