My mother lives here for a while in respite care. She had a really great experience. The facility is very clean and the food is delicious. The care staff are very competent. They have so many lifestyle activities everyday and my mom's time was very well occupied. They maintain a good environment. The park next door is very convenient for walks. They gave me peace of mind when I had to leave my mom there.
My experience with the new management has been nothing but positive, met with only dedication, respect, compassion and quality care of others!
My grandmother stayed for 4 weeks in respite care, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Everything was perfect—from viewing the room at the start to her final day. The management team communicated clearly and consistently, which gave us great peace of mind. A special thank you to the new Clinical team—they were always approachable, helpful, and kept us well informed. Truly appreciate the care and professionalism shown throughout her stay.
The new management at our aged care facility is exceptional—compassionate, organized, and attentive. Residents are happier, care has improved, and communication with families is excellent.
The receptionist is extremely rude and has a terrible attitude. The management is very poor. I wouldn't let my parents stay here. They only care about visible aspects like interior design and events. They have very few nurses to save on labor costs, leading to frequent understaffing. This results in poor management that negatively affects the residents' quality of life. Many nursing homes suffer from poor management, but this place is particularly bad. Never let your parents stay here.
