Great facilities, very friendly and caring staff. My Mum lived in both a serviced apartment and residential aged care. Highly recommend.
Terrible service from Roslyn P. Yelling and raising her voice on the phone...if this is the way she treated me I can just imagine how they treat and abuse the elderly. Whatever you do, don't go there. On of the worst and abusive conversations I have ever had.
My mother who was in aged care , died of covid and never got to see a Doctor despite myself and her pleading for one and being assured one was coming as she started feeling awful pain . Over two days my niece and I were assured she was fine when she was obviously not. This company has lost 60 percent of its share price in the last five years and I speculate as to whether providing intense care and the need for doctors is compromised in the pursuit of profit for shareholders. Retrospectively a well reputed , religous, not for profit care facility would have been better.
Looks great and the facilities are very good. But this only works for residents who do not need a lot of care and are self-sufficient . Unfortunately my 90 year old mother declined rapidly after experiencing a fall while at John Flynn. We found that if your loved ones require close care and supervision this is not the place for them. We had to move Mum to a more appropriate aged care facility, but unfortunately the damage had already been done.
Amazing staff, very personable and make sure to really get to know the residents. Good facilities and food.
It’s a good facility, with amazing helpful staff. Just a small feedback, it will be great if there should be guiding signs to provide directions of some specific places, as it’s a big facility and anybody could get lost and it is difficult to find the way back.
Wow! Very impressed with tour of facilities.
Good facility. Great service from the helpful and caring staff. Will be a 5 star facility once building is completed.
