Client thoughts on KOPWA

""
  • I am proud to call Archbold House my home for there is good care staff to support me. The nurses understand my health needs and care to listen to me. I value my freedom and know I can leave the facility whenever I like, venturing to Chatswood or Roseville shops for a coffee. With Monique’s (Art therapist) help, I discovered that I am good at painting, and enjoy the weekly activity.

  • In reference to our telephone conversation regarding my uncle, I take this opportunity to thank you and your team for the high standard of (home) care provided to him. I especially thank you (Nicky) and also Liz for always being available to speak with myself at regular and ongoing intervals and as needed. We appreciate your professionalism, support and understanding.
