Review
5 / 5 ★We were very disappointed when The 2 Nurses at The Village were not replaced. They were a very important part of The Village and were greatly missed by all The residents
Excellent positive experience
5 / 5 ★Moving into the above Village has been an excellent positive experience. Everyone including staff and residents has been great.
Very Friendly Place
4 / 5 ★A very friendly place. Activities good. [In my opinion the] dining room and cafe are a disaster, and [I believe] charging $20 daily for dinner whether you are there or not is very unfair. (edited)
4 star review
4 / 5 ★[I feel] Metlifecare need to stop treating villagers as cash cows.
Good Place to Live
4 / 5 ★It is a good place to live, most things go well, plenty of open space, very good committee who get things done. Just management could be more proactive in talking to the villagers. (eds.)
Satisfaction rating
3 / 5 ★Unless you come into a village with more than $100,000 to spare you can end up in queen street
Three Stars
3 / 5 ★My apartment is well designed and comfortable. However, as there are so many things I can no longer swallow I have been trying to negotiate paying only half my meal package and cooking for myself. However after three months this is still ongoing. I also object to losing a further 30% if I transfer into a different unit or apartment.
Independent Living
3 / 5 ★We are going through an upgrade in the village. This has caused up heavel to all residents and the feeling within the village is not good. We also need more input for the people at HO as our manager is not experienced in running a village.
Independent living
2 / 5 ★The manager has good ideas but none are put into practice its all talk
1 Star
1 / 5 ★Manager has the idea that 'its his vision'. Doesnt recognise that its OUR home. Might pay to listen.
