As a relative I have been coming here for a long time. I'm a local in the south east, I am really sad to read the 1 star review as this has been the total opposite of my experience. I have so much trust in the staff there, the care manager Amy is lovely and knowledgeable. she is so responsive to my requests and questions. I would be happy to recommend to anyone looking for care.
My Mother was admitted to Resthaven recently.I spoke to the manager to request that if her health was failing at all I would like to be notified. She said no my brothers would be notified not me and that they would contact me if needed.I tried to explain to the manager that they would not contact me going by previous experience. I tried again to no avail. Well a week later my Mother took a turn for the worse and my brothers were contacted and drove to Mt Gambier to see her.As you might have guessed by now my brothers didn't let me know and I didn't get a chance to see my Mum for the last time.As you can imagine I'm mortified with Resthaven for not listening to me.I have spoken to Manager at Rest Haven since and she didn't seem to care.If she had any compassion she would have listened to me.
My friend who was a very dignified woman was put in a section of horrors with Ripley half dressed walking around talking to themselves
