I must say that I am more than happy with the loving care that is being given to my husband who has dementia. Nothing is too much trouble and I am kept up to date with any situation that arises. The food on the whole is good. The occasions when there are scones or little muffins for morning or afternoon tea is nice as plain biscuits do get boring. I have told my children that when my time comes I am more than happy to go there.

Anthem is a beautiful place.
My mum and dad have both resided at Anthem both in independent living and assisted living and high care.
The staff are kind, caring, attentive and easy to communicate with.
I have just asked for and completed a case meeting for my mum as her needs were changing.
The meeting was honest, open, caring and productive.
I am forever grateful to all the staff.

This is a very good aged care facility
My only concern is there is not enough staff especially on weekends to care for the residents and do necessary cleaning of bathrooms and toilets.

They advertise that the staff in the dementia unit are specially trained which is an out right lie Some of the staff in the unit are actually hired as cleaners and when they are short staff they put them on as caters.For the amount of money the charge I find this practise disgusting

The facility is new and lovely and well maintained but there is not enough staff on weekends and not enough activities for high care patients and they are stuck in front of the TV that they cannot hear or really understand. Some of the patients sit and wait for half and hour to go to the toilet. I know they have pads on but it upsetting seeing them sitting and worrying about going to the toilet. It breaks my heart that they sit there all day, day...
