Great place and staffs. Very welcoming and responsive too 😊🙏
I visit my friend GPR when she stays here for respite, however she usually lives in her own place in regional Victoria. She gives it 4 stars & believes the management & staff are very friendly & caring. She said the facilities are good & there are a wide range of activities. All her experiences here have been positive & she will return in the future.
Avoid this place at all costs, it may look good on the surface but there is a toxic culture present amongst all of the management and some of the nursing staff. I found it severely understaffed with agency workers lacking basic training and a couldn’t care less attitude. I witnessed residents calling out to be toileted/changed ignored for over an hour on many occasions. Do not make the mistake of putting your loved one in here you will regret it.
Rated 5 out of 5.
