Sadly it seems acceptable to prejudice against people of significant height. My dad was 6’4” and after a few weeks of respite, he was rejected from permanent care due to him needing a longer bed and “mostly requiring 3 people to lift,” even though he was able to stand on his own and was not an overweight man (just tall). Otherwise much the same as most aged care centres with some staff members wonderful and some absolutely not. I was there once when a gentleman called for help from his room for a good 10 minutes while staff walked past. Until I asked one of them to check on him, luckily because the poor fellow has needed to go to the bathroom and had had to go in his bed. The manager is sugary sweet to your face, promising to support us in this difficult transition then rejected him a couple of days later. Only reason for 2 stars instead of 1 is because the nuns who reside there are fabulous characters and absolutely make the place.
