Three Star
3 / 5 ★Work place bullying by property manager. Property manager is a bully especially to single women residents. Manager will not respond to bullying complaints from residents.
Review
2 / 5 ★Take notice of residents concerns, especially the vunerable ones.
Retirement Village
2 / 5 ★Not what it used to be by far
Poorly Managed Resthome
1 / 5 ★Build fair and concise policies, educate staff, treat everyone the same how they want to be treated
Good 'respite' Care
1 / 5 ★Be more caring and less rude! Look after the 'old' villages because, at a certain stage, all the 'new villages' will also become old, need maintenance! I bought into the Village because of my health vix wheelchair bound in 2-3 years. Village offered so much in the way of support. Reality is, the wheelchair did not happen. Just as well, because until the last few years, the 'offered' support is not available. I love my villa, but wish I did not have to remain in the Village.
