Disappointed with management
3 / 5 ★[I feel] Overall a bit disappointed at management's lack of interest after I moved in.
3 Star
3 / 5 ★Community living here is very good. Residents are great but have increasing health issues with ageing. Village and Head Office management are very poor, lacking common sense decisions on some issues. Poor communication skills. Appalling lack of empathy for biggest stakeholder - residents.
3 Star
3 / 5 ★This village needs a better manager
