Once our residents move in, Opal becomes their home, and every one of our residents deserves to live with dignity, respect and purpose. Every day we strive to nurture a sense of belonging, so that our elders can truly live and enjoy their later years. For all of us at Opal, this means helping our residents stay connected with their communities and delivering a personalised, customer-focused experience to our residents and their families.” – Rachel Argaman, CEO, Opal Aged Care
