  • Off-topic reviews: Do not post reviews based on a third party experience, they must be your own. Our reviews are not a forum for general political or social commentary or personal rants.
  • Impersonation: Do not post reviews on behalf of other people or misrepresent your identity or connection with the aged care provider you are reviewing.

  • Personal and confidential information: Do not post reviews that contain the personal and confidential information of another person.
  • Spam Content: Please no spam. Reviews should be a genuine reflection of your experience with an aged care provider. Do not include promotional content or advertising in any form. Duplicate material will not be accepted.

Alternatively you can submit a complaint via the Government’s Aged Care Complaints Scheme.

Mum is overall very happy here. She tells me often how kind everyone is, how she has made friends and that there is always something to do. The atmosphere is warm ad friendly when I visit. I love the light and airiness of the building, which is the home of many I sometimes wonder though, if an annual review with family member might be useful, to make sure we are on the same page so to speak, to keep lines of communication open and effective and to better work together.

Thank you for your feedback, Margaret. Reviews are undertaken every six months, and we encourage you to raise your concerns with staff at any time.
