My dad and his partner have been staying there for about 6 months. The nurses and care takers seem great. My dad likes them and has no problems. Very nice place
Rated 2 out of 5.
Both my parents have been residents of Tricare Kawana Waters for over three years. The facility has had its challenges over this time given Covid, staff turnover and a lack of ongoing training. However, over the least 18 months, concerted efforts have been made to make improvements across these areas. This has been driven by the Facility Manager, Lisa Gibson who has strived to achieve ‘Best Practice’ in the provision of care for all residents. Tricare is ideally located on the Mooloolah River. It is close to a major shopping centre, both the Sunshine Coast Public and Private Hospitals and, many specialist medical rooms. The residents’ rooms are generous in size and appointments for a facility of this type. Genuine efforts have been made to ensure my parents are well looked after and, their remaining years are as comfortable as possible.

My partner died in tricare. Absolutely shocking service. Hi had 7 falls in 10 days. Anothe4 patient found him, not a nurse. When I mentioned it the person rather got aggressive. It is all about money, nothing else. The should close tricare.
