Extremely disappointing and distressing experience Our family was devastated by the standard of care our uncle received in the dementia ward at Opal Applecross Shore. Despite being marketed as a high-quality, premium facility, what we witnessed was far from that. When our uncle was clearly unwell, in pain, and struggling to breathe, staff failed to provide timely or appropriate pain relief, even after repeated requests from our family. It took days before basic palliative care (a pump for morphine and comfort medication) was finally administered, by which time he had endured unnecessary suffering. The high turnover of staff speaks volumes about what’s happening behind the scenes. Many appeared inexperienced or hesitant to make decisions without escalation, leaving vulnerable residents in distress for prolonged periods. The facility might look impressive on the surface, but genuine care, compassion, and competent medical attention are missing, the things that truly matter. Given the extremely high weekly cost residents pay for care and services, the standard of attentiveness and responsiveness should be far higher. Families are not paying for appearances, they are paying for genuine care, dignity, and timely medical support. Sadly, that was not what our family experienced. Families entrust these places with their loved ones expecting comfort, respect, and compassion in their final days. This facility failed to deliver even the most basic standard of care.
Ive had students at many different facilities over the years, and often the places that look great don’t always have the same standard of care. However this facility is beautiful and modern and all the care staff are amazing from management, admin, nurses, cleaners and carers, theyre all welcoming and friendly and work well together. I also love the initiative’s they bring in such as having activities during meal times for those in the memory support area that have cognitive impairment often due to dementia. This initiative has reduced falls and keeps the residents not only safe but busy with different activities putting them first. Would highly recommend the facility.
Rated 5 out of 5.
The whole team from admin through to the carers have been so supportive and kind, starting from respite services through to a permanent placement for both our parents. This facility is not just a pretty face, lovely carers and beautiful spaces to enjoy a variety of activities. Yes, we are so grateful to have found Applecross Shore! Highly recommend this facility to anyone considering residential aged care, mum & dad are loving their new home.
