My father has just move there and we are very happy with the facility and especially thankful for the caring staff. It's a much safer place to live with no steps and very moden amenities.

Lovley purpose built aged care facility and the model of small pods of 8 residents with a shared dining and sitting area has merit. At the end of the day it is the quality of care that matters though. My mother recently had a very disappointing experience of care here. Main issues were poor communication between staff, promises but no follow up, not listening to mum, poor quality meals since they centralized the kitchen (hopefully this has improved now) , a general lack of coordination of her care and robust processes it seems. We also had issues with the visiting gp and asked for an alternative gp. Agreed to but never actioned. All of this was fed back to managers. The nurses & PCA 's were lovely and special shout out to nurse Sam who did sit and listen to mum when she was at her lowest. We have moved mum into another facility now and she is receiving kind and quality care and her health improving.

The nicest looking care home I've ever seen, not that I've seen a lot, but it is so well appointed, and I did ask a couple of the residents what they thought and they think it's great.
