I was in mt esk aged care home and I absolutely hated it very negligent terrible
My father is there he has his own room and is treated with respect and dignity
Not impressed with the place. Especially when the elderly have to have shared rooms.
The most amazing aged care facility I have ever worked in, residents are treated with respect, dignity and compassion. If I ever need to go to a nursing home, I would go to this one, love it, love it, love it.
