My Father is being looked after very well and given the freedom he would have, if he was in his own home, but with 24 hour care

This was the first time my Mum had been placed in respite care and understandably Mum as well as family were apprehensive but she was made to feel "at home" instantly on her arrival there. The staff were always on hand for my Mum if needed and also taking calls from me (I live interstate) any time night or day. I would have no hesitation for my Mum to re-visit there in the future if necessary.

Our family has been very happy with the care and attention my mother has received over the last 7 years at Charles Young. In particular the staff are very kind to the residents and very helpful and friendly when communicating with family and friends. The many atriums and courtyards in between the different areas add a special atmosphere to the facility.

Lovely facility and my father is well cared for and happy with the transition into aged care facility

very well presented

The staff are always friendly cheerful kind and helpful. They treat the residents like family. My mother-inlaw is always telling us how happy and relieved she is that we found this facility. She is so happy to call it her home. I have spoken to a number of people that have relatives in other aged care facilities and no-one is happy with the care but Smithfield is amazing.

Very disappointing experience with this aged care facility.

Our dear dad was a resident in a care home. It was peace of mind for us that he was well cared for, medicated properly, respected and loved by those who looked after him. He was still independent enough to enjoy living at the home and town community. We appreciated the professional and sincere dealings we as his family experienced wgen he passed away.

I hat to put my auntie into nursing care,this was the hardest thin g for me to do. She is now being cared by the most hiley trained people you could wish for she loves them all. We are still having teething problems but they are sorted very quickly. She is in an old home and I thought this is old but could not ask for anythink more once you open doors. Hope like my little story becauce the more I talk about it the easier it is for me to coupe.

My mother was in residential age care

The nursing home my mother was in, on the surface, seemed to be able to provide the care needed for my mother. Scratch the surface and it is a different story. My mother was left alone tied (strapped) to a chair for most of the day. She wore her night attire all day and wore incontinence pads. If she had her wits about her she would have been horrified. Luckily, I say luckily for her, she passed before too long and is now at rest. This experience has soured me re nursing homes and I dread going into one myself as I age. Another of our parents was subjected to equally grim lodgings and treatment and this too has left a bad taste for us. Luckily for him he passed quickly. During the week days (9-5) regular NH staff are in attendance but overnight and on weekends they employ casual relief staff who do not know the people they are dealing with and the easiest thing to do is to sedate them and keep them either strapped to a bed or in their rooms. Shoddy practice and one that should be outlawed. The food, too, is an afterthought. Tasteless and boiled to within an inch of it's description. Probably reheated time and again too. My mother was an excellent cook used to good wholesome food on a regular basis. She became skeletal and lost the strength to stand. She had many falls and was hospitalized many times for this. The advice given to me initially was that when you find a NH with a vacancy, grab it because placement can be delayed or even become unavailable. This I did with great regret to the detriment of my mother. She deserved much better. Dreadful, horrible and unimaginable bad experiences with nursing homes. Sorry to say this but I am yet to hear of anyone who has had a good experience with a nursing home. Very disappointing and scary to think of what is ahead.

Wonderful caring, friendly staff. Handle challenging resident situations with sensitivity and respect .

This is a great Aged Care facility with exception to the food improvements need to been in making sure the food is hot no consideration is given that the food can be on the trollies for upto 15 mins before the resident receives it.

My mother had 2 weeks respite in the above facility and i couldn't fault them. Well looked after.

Patients unable to feed themselves would go hungry unless a relative could be there. Owners charging double for medications, which were not regularly given to patients. Facility smelt so bad you would gag on entering.

Overall experience was datisfactory.
