Allison and the staff at Bupa at Waratah ,have assisted Dad settle in and feel comfortable.
At 92 it was not easy moving from his home.
Dad is relaxed and enjoying his stay.
Dad has his favourite family photo's , and things he loves.

My dad was in a dementia ward. Bupa Waratah was where he was sent from a hospital. We were so fortunate! The care he received and the overall dedication of staff was exemplary. We were always made to feel welcome and it was obvious how much each patient was respected. Although my dad passed away we will always remember the comfort and care he received in his last days. I visited him daily and at different times and this never changed.

Main problem is over medication by doctors, particularly of non verbal patients who can't complain if a medication is upsetting them.In my mind, this is a form of elder abuse. Doctors ignore requests from advocates who have enduring guardianship of patients

It was 'the little things' which were missing. The centre prided itself on individual care, but several things showed that the quality of care was more generic.
1. Mum was called "Darling" rather than her name, which was on the door of her room.
2. All desserts were served with a blob of cream in the centre. When I asked why, I was told "Because everyone likes cream. "
3. Staff treated Mum as if she had dementia - she was simply quite deaf

The facility is understaffed particularly on weekends and nights .The AIN staff work very hard for low wages.
The facility is obviously profit driven and the cleaning staff are not given enough time to do a thorough job even though they try hard.
