Great place, residents great
5 / 5 ★More input in future developments
Attractive villas
5 / 5 ★Set out of Villas is attractive and colourful gardens. Close to bus stop. Central location to many destinations. Variety of villas, mine gets plenty of sun. Different outlooks and sizes available. [I feel] Management concerning, staff turnover is high. Communication to residents could be improved. However, I love it.
It is a happy place
4 / 5 ★Living at this village, residents are treated with respect & dignity. Any request to management is considered & the follow up is completed. Residents are encouraged to take their queries to this body ( edt)
Four Stars
4 / 5 ★By negotiation residents who pet dies should be able to replace a pet if capable to do so.
Elmwood Retirement Village
3 / 5 ★Communication between staff & residents lacking. Decision is made & this how it will be.
Independant living
3 / 5 ★Change of village managers over 6.5 yrs. Have been very unsettling , most staff very helpful.
Helpful And Friendly
3 / 5 ★When there is trouble in camp Company only listen to one side. Usually the ones causing trouble.
Can have my animals
2 / 5 ★Review the Licence to Occupy to allow 50% to resident of the capital gain in the villa.
Not as good as it was!
2 / 5 ★Listen to the elderly re aged-care. We are mostly well educated and not senile. Government seems to only want to take away what savings we might have. The increase in superanuation payments each year is pitiful. The cost of living keeps increasing
Have My Animals
2 / 5 ★1. Allow a family member or friend to live with me (share).<br />
2. Allow transfer to Sth Isl. facility, with transfer of payment already made.
