I remember over a year ago now, walking into the Infinite Aged Care Churchill Retreat facility. We were shown around by a person who obviously cared about the place and the people and was enthusiastic about the future plans for the facility.Walking in there had the same feeling as when you walk into an “open for inspection” viewing of a house and just know that the house belongs to you. You have to have it, you have to be there! This is what happened to us when my partner & I were searching for the “right” place for my chronically ill father and for my mother who could no longer live alone in her own home. I knew instantly this was going to be their new home. And what an incredible “find” it has been! Unfortunately my Father passed after 12 days in the care of the most wonderful caring nursing and other aged care staff. They couldn’t have done any more to make my fathers last days more comfortable. I will never forget the support shown to me and my family by the staff they were so kind and caring. Mum has been there for over a year now and I haven’t seen her smile and laugh so much in a long time. She has made some wonderful friends. Mum participates in, and loves the daily activities organised by the staff. We actually plan our visiting times around the activities because she wants so much to be involved in them! The every day worry about how Mum was coping in her own home has gone. Our family has seen first hand how much the Churchill Retreat truly cares for people.
