5-star Review Oakwoods Village Tasman
5 / 5 ★Keep listening and utilize in partnership with each other the sister facilities of Waimea Plains, a unique situation both Arvida villages in the same street.
Excellent Village experience
5 / 5 ★The village environment, garden, villa layout & gardens are a key attraction. Access to the lounge & hot drinks always available is an enjoyable service.
Great location. Nice abode
4 / 5 ★Demolish care centre and rebuild. Use the twin Village advantage,2 Arvida Villages in same street,Arvida has not used that to advantage
Great location. Solid Retirment village but aging!
4 / 5 ★Brownfields Developments always require enhancement and replacement. Good leadership will ensure this happens, marginal leadership and average board, will not. Jury out.
Three Stars
3 / 5 ★None.
Village Feel
3 / 5 ★Fee for use of call button services should be readily available to all residents.
Management issies
2 / 5 ★Your customers are the ones that pay you and your shareholders wages. There should really be more input from them. Maybe a residents committee?
Management very poor
2 / 5 ★Management need to learn that people come first, not money
Quick Review
1 / 5 ★no, as management is the problem.
If you challenge the manager, you are persecuted.
If you challenge the manager, you are persecuted.
Good New Manager
1 / 5 ★Have control of residents committee. Ours has an aggressive secretary and chairman. Extreme.
