Questions families actually ask.
Is the palliative care unit well-regarded? +
Several reviewers specifically praised the palliative care unit (9Y), describing it as serene and well-designed, with private rooms, warm colours, and large windows. Staff on that unit were noted for regular family communication and treating patients with respect and dignity.
Are there concerns about personal belongings going missing? +
Multiple reviews report wedding rings and jewellery being stolen from residents, including after a resident's passing. Families are strongly advised by reviewers to remove all valuables before or immediately after admission.
How is the parking situation for visitors? +
Parking is consistently described as very poor and difficult to navigate. Visitors with mobility issues have specifically noted that the locked main entrance forces them to walk around the building, which adds to the challenge.
Does the quality of care differ between units? +
Reviewers indicate that experiences vary considerably depending on the unit. Some units have received serious complaints about staff responsiveness and food quality, while others, such as the palliative unit, have received strong praise.
Can family members expect regular updates from staff? +
Experiences differ by unit. Some families report staff communicated regularly and proactively about health changes, while others describe poor communication and unresponsive management on certain units.
