    Terrible management. The supposed plague is no longer and they are pushing more bs than any other homes. Go to bupa or uniting care. Much better

    Appreciated the effort of the staff in making space to celebrate a wedding there for a friend of a resident so they could be present.

    My mother is a resident of TLC Homestead, the facilities and service are well above other facilities around Geelong. The staff are all highly motivated and ensure a safe caring environment.

    My mother in law has been very well looked after during the Covid19 period. It has been a lonely time for the residents but the main thing is they have overall done a great job of looking after everyone.
