No Complaints
5 / 5 ★I have lived here for 8 years and have my wife in the separate dementia unit here. No complaints.
Great location, friendly staff
5 / 5 ★great location - close to Milford Village, buses & hospital (NORH SHORE) Small no. of apartments. So very friendly - you get to know all your neighbours - new management & greatly improved from previous.
4 Star
4 / 5 ★Big change since management of village changed a year ago. Oceania operator looked after us very well following the flooding of 26 apartments in Jan 23
Life is Much Easier
4 / 5 ★Would be nice to have a chaplain for weekly services.
Three Stars
3 / 5 ★More approachable. Get requests done quickly - pretty good sometimes. General model of refurbishment new apartments - waste! Recycle please.
Social Atmosphere
3 / 5 ★We need an ombudsman to sort out management/staff and review contract items where services are not satisfactory.
Lack of Consultation
2 / 5 ★Lovely apartment, handy location. Pathways and paving hard to navigate. [In my opinion] there is a lack of consultation with residents re changes that affect residents. (eds.)
Retirement village review
2 / 5 ★Residents are reminded frequently that it's 'Independent Living', and most are reluctant to make suggestions or comments to management.
What can I say
1 / 5 ★Management need to pay greater attention to residents and take an interest in meeting the needs of residents.
Convenient Location
1 / 5 ★Management should listen to residents. Staff need to be trained in all aspects of communication and working with aged persons and their families.
