To the Doctors and Nursing staff, thank you for the professional, loving and respectful care of my Mother, Josephine who passed 19/6/24. Your care for her and my family made this incredibly painful journey a little bit easier.

I was an inpatient from March 14, 2024 till April 12,2024. During my stay, I found the Nurses & Physio Members( both male & female) were VERY PROFESSIONAL & COURTEOUS. Kate, the O.T. was very nice. The Social Workers are very supportive.
Once I was moved into a single room, I felt like I was being treated like a "KING." The meals were beautiful & hot. It was almost like being on a steady cruise ship without the alcohol.
VERY
The ONLY COMPLAINT I HAD IS THAT A MALE & FEMALE NURSE WERE TALKING IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE FOR AROUND 15-20 MINUTES OUTSIDE MY ROOM. I had to ask the to SPEAK ENGLISH OR MOVE AWAY. ONCE AGSIN,THANKYOU VERY MUCH FOR KINDNESS & BRILLIANT CARE. PAUL CLANCY.

I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt appreciation for the compassionate care your team provided during our home visits. Your team's commitment to making my Dad and our family comfortable and alleviating his pain was truly remarkable. The team's attentiveness, warmth, and kindness during the home visits provided comfort and support to my Dad, my Mum and our family.

The home visits by your team allowed my Dad to receive care in the comfort of his own home, which was especially important to him. Your team's attention to every detail, from administering medication to providing emotional support, was exceptional, and it allowed us to focus on spending quality time with my Dad.

I would like to extend a special mention to Nurse Kathy Lark and Doctor Vanessa Tung and their teams, who were a constant source of support and care for my Dad during the past months. Their compassion, empathy, and professionalism were extraordinary, and it made a significant difference to my Dad's quality of life, especially during his final days.

My Mother and sisters will always remember and appreciate your team’s commitment to providing exceptional care during such a challenging time. You provided my Dad with the care, comfort, and respect he deserved, and we are forever grateful for that.

Once again, thank you so much for everything you did for my Dad and our family. Your team's service to the community is truly invaluable, and we are honoured to have been under your care.

My 87-year-old mum was recently at Calvary for three weeks for rehabilitation following 57 days at St George Hospital. The comparison was stark. She has dementia, does not speak English well and is hard of hearing and seeing. Calvary staff were amazing, caring, patient centered, provided an interpreter at critical points in her journey, provided translated information in the Macedonian language on falls prevention, and when I showed staff the CALD Assist Application on the phone which is a Ministry of Health endorsed app for basic communication in 10 languages, they quickly downloaded it and started using it. I also appreciate the effort they went to accommodate my mums needs at mealtimes. I couldn't speak highly enough of the great care they provided my mum in her hour of need. She commented that this was heaven in comparison to her prior experience.

My Father spent a week here in palliative care. Everyone I interacted with was so kind and understanding. All the nurses and Drs were so lovely and made sure Dad was comfortable right up to the end. I cannot speak highly enough of what a great job they all do under such difficult circumstances. Thank you so so much!

My mum passed away in 2021 at this hospital. She received amazing care and especially Jane the social worker went above and beyond for us.

The reception just wasn’t that nice, they were impatient and not helpful. Went to pick up my mums belongings but they said they weren’t there. Got a call a week later asking why I haven’t picked them up yet

Was just a pain because I was pregnant and it was in lockdown.

Other than that, I knew my mum was being taken care of
