The staff is very nice and professional. Well mannered behaviour.
Yung reception - did not understand what to do with basic reception traffic. Avoid
I take partner here for physio which is good. But they rarely answer their phones and often fail to return messages - very frustrating. They must have a cumbersome booking system for physio - takes ages to make appointments.
Attended the gym, did program in pool. Tai chai is fantastic. Wonderful staff. In particular Julie. I will apply to go back one day. Facilities are great. Staff treated the elderly with so much respect and kindness.
Really great place for the elderly and sick to see out their time. Very well cared for. Great activities to keep minds working.
