Highly DO NOT RECOMMEND. Never one to complain but has quite a few terrible staff members. Looks like they burn out their amazing, well caring staff and replace them with people who shouldn't have a qualification in care!! While visiting my family, another resident had a fall and I went to staff and they did absolutely nothing and said "I'm a break" sitting on her phone in the public resident area, and the nurse giving medications was running around unable to attend to the resident, only 1 caring staff member and my family member was so upset as no one was able to attend to her incontinence. The Aged Care Commission will know about this reoccuring issue with staff.
Absolutely amazing facility in the West. Staff and nurses are so kind and gentle with their residents. Although my grandad was only there for a short time before he passed it wasn't hard to see the high level of care and empathy they share. My family and I will be eternally grateful for the care they gave to my grandfather right to the end. God bless you all. 🙏

Beautiful aged care facility Paula special mention for the support for myself and family I instantly felt welcomed She went to all measures to ensure we all had the information during the tour and continues to go above and beyond Thank you so much Paula 💓
Great team to work with , staff are amazing and truly care for the wellbeing of residents!
If it wasn't for the lovely care staff who do all the heavy lifting and deserve all the praise they get (and more), I would give only 1 star. I have found the way they operate abysmal. They cannot get the basic functions right - just to call to speak to my mother there is like dealing with a switchboard from the 50's. Particularly if you call on a weekend - oh my lord! And the accounts department do not know how to forward an invoice to state trustees for payment - apparently they don't want to get paid! The receptionist is by far the worst part about dealing with this facility. She takes it upon herself to be the "gatekeeper" and sets her own set of rules. I asked to be put on the email list for communication about Covid lockdowns and was told only one family member was allowed on the list, only to find that two of my family members were already on the email list. She has tried to dictate when I can take my mother out and for how long, which she has no right to do and certainly no clinical basis for her opinion. And I have not seen her smile once. I too have been a receptionist in aged care during Covid and I know it's hard work, but I don't empathise with someone who has clearly lost the will to provide decent and kind customer service. I don't expect someone to fall at my feet, but I just want to be treated fairly and with a shred of respect. I would avoid this facility and any associated with McKenzie Aged Care.
nice facility
