IRT Kangara Waters Aged Care Centre-nursing house is providing nice staff and friendly to help people like my grandmother recommend IRT Kangara Waters is good provide of aged care
Broad range of activities offered for social, health and wellbeing.
Whilst living in Kangara Waters is pleasant we are in fact trapped here as we get no capital gain on our apartment. In the time we have been in KW, the price of our apartment has risen from $560,000 to nearly $1million and we get none of the gains. If we wanted to move elsewhere comparable apartments have also risen in price so we are trapped at KW until death do us part.
Kangara Waters is a wonderful place, with friendly & helpful staff, good facilities and community programs, good maintenance & gardening. The gardens and location are beautiful and the other residents are friendly & helpful. There is a cafe on site and a gym and pool. There are regular visits from hairdresser, fitness instructors, a physiotherapist, etc. There is also a nursing home on site. It is well worth the cost.
It is a great place for walking or cycling. It can also be a destination for photography.
Several points: 1.During this pandemic changes to access occur frequently but IRT is not updating its access rules regularly. Some instructions are 6 days old - too long. Need to smarten up. 2. Medical instructions are not being followed. Doctor's written instructions are lost or ignored. Need to smarten up, again. 3. Sheets not being changed weekly. Same comment. 4. I have more adverse comments of a similar nature. Perhaps IRT has dropped the ball on thoroughness. I will be happy to upgrade my rating if and when improvement occurs but I hope management recognises that standards have slipped badly over the past year. Could not recommend IRT to likely residents on full care at present. Disappointed.
