Congratulations to our team at Chestnut Gardens Aged Care Home which achieved its re-accreditation recently.
This regular re-accreditation process is crucial to protect and improve the safety, health, wellbeing, and quality of life of people receiving our aged care services.
Cameron Duncan, Acting General Manager Residential Aged Care proudly shared that the expert care delivered at Chestnut Gardens was business as usual during their assessment period in December last year,
“The Aged Care and Quality Commission expects that we are accreditation ready, 365 days a year, and the results received post accreditation highlights that our facilities are meeting all eight standards.”
