Don't have your family members stay here. My grandmother passed away only 4 weeks after staying here. She was having breathing issues and knew something was wrong and was denied help.. they told her it was just her asmara playing up but she knew it was not that. She begged for help from the staff. And after days of no help she called 000 herself and was admitted to hospital. She had massive fluid build up on the lungs and was essentially drowning. She passed away a few days later in the hospital.

How dare the staff treating a person like that… ugh… rude and disrespectful. The fact a nursing staff can do that ,is beyond crazy. It’s your job to treat people with dignity and respect that’s what you sign up for. IF YOU ARE A PERSON HAVE NO PATIENCE, THEN DONT SIGN UP FOR IT. Absolutely disgusting
