Facilites are clean and modern however clinical and habitually shortstaffed. The limited number of carers that work are so lovely. Our family had some concerns and spoke to management who lacked follow up or timely acknowledgement. Rooms are good size and have regular activities which is great for socialising. Nice facility however would not recommend if you are after efficient service. Staff are polite yet stressed (probably because theyre shortstaffed all the time). Location was perfect for my family so we could visit daily however wasnt a good fit for us. Onboarding of a new resident needs more clear communication around processes, feeling comfortable and welcomed should be a priority with new residents and perhaps more support for families who are new to this whole process. Surrendering a loved one to Aged Care is not an easy decision, a bit of empathy and support goes a long way in order to settle families and residents into their new "home". Thank you for looking after my Dad for the short period we had him in, however I do not recommend this facility based on our own personal experience.
