Beautiful Age Care Facility! Highly recommended! Special mention to Satnam, Sujata, Meeta, Narie and Anglicare Staff, are friendly, caring, always willing to assist us with any issues and updates. We are always kept up-to-date with Mum, from all staff at Anglicare. Mum loves it!
Rated 5 out of 5.
Not good
When they book a meeting be prepared to sit there for hours as they don’t care
Worst experience. It’s been a while since my visit, but it still haunts me. I went for a tour and had to wait over an hour before being greeted by the care manager. I think her name was Satname (I could be wrong), but she was extremely rude and completely emotionless. It felt like she just wanted to rush us out. Other staff, however, were friendly and welcoming, which made it even more disappointing that the person in charge gave such a poor impression. Because of that one experience with her, I decided not to go ahead with our application.
Beautiful atmosphere for my mother Love the place very happy 👍
My grandmother is a resident at Symes Grove and we couldn’t have asked for a better home for her. The facility feels homey and inviting and the staff are wonderful and attentive. I know that my grandma is respected and looked after every day and is treated with the utmost care at all times.
RIP Mum - 01/05/2021. It's now over 3 x years since I was robbed of my Mother. Dear Mum, I'll never stop wondering if I should have instigated a full inquiry into your death. This is strictly my opinion, but I now wonder if I should I have gone to the newspapers, media, lawyers, ministers office, police or church leaders? Instead I just felt overwhelmed & frightened at the time & I now have to live with the GUILT. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND ANGLICARE SOUTHERN Qld, "SYMES GROVE NURSING HOME" TAIGUM!! My experience with this nursing home has left me traumatised. I will NEVER set foot in the Centre again. I couldn't bring myself to pack up my Mother's belongings. Mum only resided in Symes Grove nursing home for approximately 13 weeks. It wasn't meant to be a short stay... Mum was "officially" recorded as residing in Anglicare Southern Qld, ST MARTIN'S Residential Aged Care Taigum. 304 Roghan Rd Taigum 4018. Mum did NOT reside in St Martin's ever. Mum was a resident of Anglicare Southern Qld, "SYMES GROVE TAIGUM" nursing home.The new place around the corner. Address: 314 Church Rd Taigum 4018. I will refrain from mentioning what Prince Charles Hospital found after completing examinations, blood tests & Xrays of my now very frail, very sick & under-nourished Mother. Mum was not expected to live the next 24 to 48 hours. But Mum somehow pulled through the weekend much to the doctor's amazement. Mum eventually went to Brighton Interim Care before I secured a placement at the Bellevue Care Centre located not far from my home. **I called My Age Care a couple of times to informed them of the incorrect lodgement of Mum’s nursing home name & address. The info could not be corrected so it APPEARS there is no record of my Mum’s stay in SYMES GROVE TAIGUM. I eventually gave up, being overwhelmed with complete distrust in the whole age care system. Please don’t be fooled like I was by the fancy bells & whistles!! I suggest potential family's looking for a care facility to seek a place near one’s family. It's easier to check on the nursing home EACH day. This review is strictly my experience & my opinion.
A truly wonderful facility with a fantastic caring staff.
