What Melbourne Families Say About Foundara Care
We were really nervous about getting someone in to help Dad with his personal care. He's a proud man and didn't want strangers in the house. But from the very first visit his carer made him feel completely at ease. Same person every week, knows exactly how Dad likes things done. It has made such a difference to our whole family
Personal Care, DandenongMargaret T. daughter of a client, DandenongAfter Mum came home from hospital we needed nursing support quickly. I didn't know where to start. Foundara had someone out within a few days and she has been coming every week since. She takes the time to explain everything clearly and actually listens to what Mum has to say. The peace of mind it gives us is hard to put into words.
Community Nursing, ReservoirDavid K. son of a client, ReservoirWe needed care for Mum quite quickly and were not sure where to turn. From the first phone call the team at Foundara were genuinely helpful no pressure, just clear answers. We had a carer starting within the week and Mum looks forward to the visits now. That says everything really.
