The carers, doctors, physios, orthopaedic therapists, kitchen and restaurant staff, cleaners, locums, front desk staff - each and every one of you played a vital role in my husband’s recovery. We are deeply thankful for your kindness, professionalism, and commitment. May God bless you all abundantly. Our family will always remember what you have done for us, and we are truly grateful. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Esme Martin & Family
Faircape Health in Tokai is a five star Step down facility. I was fortunate enough to have a bed with an amazing view of the mountains in the distance and a tree like an aviary at sunset every day. The five star rating extends to each and every role player in a patient’s rehabilitation. The Carers are kind and happy to assist in any situation. The professional medical, physio and OT services are outstanding in the way they provide individual attention and therapy and after my ten day stay I am now confident that I can go home able to go up and down stairs, use crutches with confidence and follow a easy to remember exercise routine. All the kitchen staff including the Dietician went out of their way with a smile to accommodate my specific dietary needs.
