Rated 5 out of 5.
My father stayed at this facility for 3 wks for respite while my Mum, his carer, took a well deserved holiday. My Father suffered a stroke 7 years ago. Upon collection the staff member who wheeled him to thr car said " Don't hurry back". Very rude and caught my mother by surprise. Once home it was discovered he'd been sent home with someone else's medication and he was missing clothes. My mum has phoned and left a number of messages and no one EVER returns calls. Avoid this place, they charge a fortune and don't seem to care.
Highly recommended
Absolutely beautiful building has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are perfect .
I recently visited a resident at Villa Maria - I was disappointed at the lack of staff available - we wanted to have morning tea with the resident however there were no cups available or milk. The place to me lacked a homely or inviting state. Considering the amount needed to secure a room there I felt it very poor indeed.
There is usually lots of good bread left in the tea room for the taking. 🍞
