stars on the My Aged Care site.<\/p>\n<p>The new aged care star ratings system helps families make informed decisions when choosing an aged care home, especially around the level and quality of care that is provided.<\/p>\n<p>What an outstanding result, and a totally deserving reflection of a great team and service.<\/p>\n<p>And, not forgetting Cooinda House also received a four-star

your team at Cooinda House for the wonderful care you provided Dad during the time he lived there and made it his home.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe staff did a great job making his days comfortable and listening to his many stories, he was a real character and although he was unable to acknowledge the care he was given, I would like to thank each and every staff member who contributed to his care.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI would also like to thank the staff for the ongoing care that Mum continues to receive.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe moment at Dad\u2019s funeral where the attending Cooinda House staff embraced and supported Mum was truly genuine and a fantastic example of the staff who work at Cooinda House.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMany family members and friends who attended Dad\u2019s funeral or witnessed this moment on livestream, have commented how lucky our parents are to be residents of such a kind and caring Aged Care facility.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Over this Christmas period, however you celebrate personally, may the joy that is Christmas fill your heart and home with wonder and love.<\/p>\n<p>For the many of the COH staff team who will be working over Christmas to provide services to the people we serve, I thank you and hope that you get the opportunity to spend time with the people who are important to you.<\/p>\n<p>For the staff who are able to take a break, I wish you happy holidays and hope you get time to rest and restore.<\/p>\n<p>For each of you in the COH team, thank you for your great work and for being willing to serve with
