Calvary Health Care Kogarah Hospital

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

I came into Calvary (first floor Rehab) in a wheelchair chair, unable to walk. Today I am checking out and I am walking unaided. The staff were all excellent, kind, caring and thoughtful. The meals were great, the facilities were modern, clean and I feel blessed to have received such wonderful care.

In the past, both my mother and grandmother had excellent care at Calvary Hospital. My grandmother died there, and the staff were so kind I hoped that if I needed it, I could die there as well.
My mother had Alzheimer’s and was there for rehabilitation assessment. The first time she was able to return home after regaining her strength. The gerontologist tried a drug that really helped her and she gained interest in doing things she had slowly lost interest in.
The second time she was there she was there for rehabilitation was only brief and she went on to Nursing Home but died with heart failure shortly after.

I spent a lot of time here with both my grandparents. They’re treated like Royalty like all patients. Super friendly and doting staff. Offering showers and gym (physio) in the mornings. Always someone around to help. Volunteers are so special and lovely too. They offer to feed the patients and talk with them, light massage.

Unfortunately, my father went there for palliative care for few days until his last moment. He was treated with respect and care well for pain management and sleep problem. Thank you for the doctors and nurses who look after him. Nurses that I met there are very nice and show their sympathy and understanding, especially during the COVID lockdown were extremely tough for our family.

Thank you again for the care and sympathy that you have done for our family during our hard time.

Calvary Hospital is such a change of pace from all other hospitals, and for the obvious reasons. The quieter environment is more conducive to patients with late stage cancer. Though it's a rehabilitation hospital, it's palliative care is second to none. My friend found comfort and care in her final days. As did her family and friends. The staff maintained quality of care and were empowering in their support. Despite the side circumstances, it was a beautiful experience.

A wonderful place whose staff could not have done anymore for my stepdad. The genuine care of the rehab staff and nurses was second to none in the 3 weeks he spent there. I was more than happy to provide written and verbal feedback to the executives of the hospital. The social worker there could not have done more to help me through a very difficult and often complicated time. Thank you to you all.

The Staff are very nice, the hospital itself is good, hard to say very good things about any Hospital, especially when your loved ones are sick.
My friend is being well taken care of, he is comfortable, eating well, and all this is making him happy, and helping him to cope well.
They have very good visiting hours, making easy for Family and Friends to get in for a Visit. It's these visits that help patients.
Overall, a very good Hospital...

The palliative Care staff are most caring and comforting. My mother-in-law was treated with respect and compassion of the highest level. I want to give ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, really. The nurses are angels. Thank you for such professionalism.

My Dad is currenly in Calvary for Rehab with a broken hip. (his 2nd in 14 months). The level of care provided by the staff has been phenomenal. Dad constantly comments on how good the food and told me that he feels like he's having a holiday.

Thank you Calvary
