Beautiful family friendly home. Great place to visit your family members
Our father had not had a shower for days, sitting in urine, all his urine soaked clothes hanging over a chair. 1 Asian nurse said we can't make them shower, it's your duty of care to look after these people not just stick them in an end room and forget about them & on top of that a very wound up rude Nurse in charge. Unfortunately for a father due to family dispute his care has been taken out of our hands and put into the care of the state of qld which is doing an appalling job looking after him. Make sure your parents have enduring guardianship in place :(
This pertains to the GCU Hospital interim wing. Absolutely horrible. Two people I know have been transferred here to fix the lack of space at the main hospital, and both have suffered and health has degraded as a result. Same old complaints, dirty sheets, no daily showers, waiting 30-60 minutes for a response, or none at all. Sitting in wheelchairs for hours on end. Family having to call multiple times to get action. Deflective management (covering their own behinds). Forceful unfriendly staff. Wounds not taken care of. Avoid at all cost.

Made an appointment for a carer to take me to hospital clinic I was told they would ring me back with a time to be picked up. Five days later have Tried ringing their number several times to cancel because no one has called me the number keeps dropping out. Have made arrangements with another carer to assist me. Shame on you blue care.
