My father In-law was at IRT St Georges Basin for just under a year with dementia. The care they give there is really outstanding. He had a couple of episodes and we where advised with great empathy that he would be best off on End of life medication to make him comfortable. We sat with him for a week and I have never felt so supported, the staff where just amazing with us and my father in law. One staff member Epi (sorry not sure how to spell his name) even came in on his day off to check in! The nurses, especially Kirsten are exceptional at their job. Thank you to everyone that touched John's life. :)

I do not like it I do not believe they are caring for their inmates in a humanly manner
Tried calling for information and was on hold for 10 minutes before I gave up. Place looks ok but without being able to talk to someone at 1pm on a Friday afternoon I would worry what care would be like on a weekend.
I have an elderly friend that lives here & the unit is comfortable and affordable for a single man on his own.
