Do not put your loved ones here. No care, no maintenance, professionalism and they will be locked in a room for hours unattended to. On the first day my mother move in, she had been dumped into a room and hadn’t seen anyone until I came in that afternoon. (4+ hours alone and unsorted and uncomfortable.) Her chair hadn’t been plugged in at the wall so she couldn’t even readjust the seat, her bed had no controls, no tv controls either, her belongings were dumped in a corner and the heater was left on high with the door shut. My mother is not mobile without assistance. Yes; she had a call bell but it didn’t get answered for hours (and I know this for a fact as I stayed in one of the times to see just how long they would take to attend to her.) undoubtedly my mother would have died from mistreatment in this place. I took her out right away. When we handed her tablets over, there was no signing them in or paper work involved. The reception staff never seemed to know what was going on or what the general practices were. Trying to speak to a nurse was a nightmare, you’d walk towards them and they would all scatter away. The level of unprofessional overall, including a very slap happy attitude regarding greetings and conversations from reception, staff and nurses was also disgusting. If this wasn’t enough to put you off, the first thing you are met with at the building entrance is the most awful, repulsive Waft of septic. Incredibly limited, next to no, parking or accessible parking. Nurses were fine with sending my mother in a taxi with no head rest and argued that it was fine to do so and that they had done so in the past with other clients. (it is illegal as well as incredibly unsafe because if there is even a slight sudden break during the drive, without a head rest, she would easily get whiplash. The price for staying here is something similar to 90% of the clients pension and that left my mother with $60 a fortnight. Her needs were not met. She was spoken down to like a child, acting as if she was some kind of simpleton. She simply has mobility issues. Have the humility and find somewhere else for your loved one. This isn’t a place humans should be left.
