My mother is in Ferndale Gardens in Mortdale. It is very clean, does not have that"old people" smell. it has a lovely coffee shop, hairdressing salon, gymnasium. She goes out on bus trips very regularly and the entertainment is great.The staff on the whole are fabulous ( always there is an exception to the rule) The food is quite nice and the residents are treated with respect. Overall, very happy.

My mother in law has had wonderful care since she moved to Ferndale that I would recommend it to anyone.

Ferndale Gardens warning. We found Ferndale Gardens Mortdale to be a terrible place and a horrible experience for our 96 year old mother and us, her 3 children. After paying extra for so-called "extra services", we found it uncaring, disorganized with poor management and a complete breakdown of communication between the office staff and the nursing staff. It may look nice, but think carefully before you place your loved one there.

I found it annoying and hurtful that when my father was in care with dementia, in the high care section, most of the conversations my sister and I had with staff was them continually telling us that he is frustrating as he cant remember. They would say we explain to him what is to happen then he keeps asking and asking so we tell him to be quiet. I did not like this at all as this was the reason my father had to forego living on his own, his short term memory loss. I also felt they were understaffed and could not give all residents the care they needed. Overall not a good experience for my family. My father died after being in care for 21/2 mths. He also had a major fall the very first night he was there and spent 10 days in hospital with a bleed on the brain (again not enough staff) and or understanding of short term memory loss. Also we were not notified that our father was dying. We went for a normal visit to find that he had dramatically gone down hill on a few days hence h died 24 hrs later. I felt that the staff should have contacted the family and when I questioned the staff about my dads condition and that he must not have been for a lot longer than the last hour they said no only the last hour ( there seemed to be a cover up by some), but other staff members said he stopped eating about four days beforehand and was not having himself, this is what and when we should have been told. It was a very distressing time and one that I will never forgive them for. That was MY father not just a number!!!!!!

I am happy with where my mum is. I do think that the ancillary staff need more training in understanding dementia.

I could not fault Ferndale Gardens at Mortdale NSW. The care and support we received for my Parents-in-Law, made a difficult time less stressful. The lack of a 5th star on quality of food was in memory of my mother-in-law who saw herself as a food expert but truly the food was excellent. The staff took the time to chat with my father-in-law who had become socially isolated due to his failing health and to engage him in many activities he found so rewarding to the point of renaming the property "Paradise Gardens" To the staff a simple Thank You, with a deep appreciation of the love and care you showed our family.

The staff are vy caring My husband was always clean

I must not just focus on the negative but..... at one stage I found my mother in a semi-store room. Apparently because "her room needed tidying" but right at the end a person in charge looked in and asked: "How is she doing?" My mother was 'rasping'-desperate for breath in her last hours. I was rung during that night 2"30 am and told she'd passed away.

wasnt a bad place . But never want to revisit there ever again. They have past

My mum is in aged care.The staff are the most caring beautiful people I know.They put so much effort into entertaining our loved ones they celebrate every occasion.It takes a very special person to work in aged care and we have the best at CasaMia.

Overall care is adequate. Needs more outings for those that are able. A Needs a better relief cook two days a week the food is discusting.

The staff are always attentive to my mothers needs and contact me when there is any problem/question regarding my mother. The staff are consistently pleasant to both myself and my mother anytime that I visit my mother.

i have a aunt in a age care home and she is been looked after very well she is happy and i am happy the way she is been looked after. I recommend age care to every one

Casual staff they are putting on just dont to seem care about the residents and the food is appalling

The staff were amazing. Very happy, caring and always willing to oblige. Made my dads last 5 years much happier. Thank you to all of them.

Our mother lives here and has a great room and enjoys excellent care from the staff.

I had my aunty in aged care, the quality of care was very good.

Having my loved one in care can be distressing on all involved but BAC are reassuring and genuinely care about him and have made the experience as positive as possible.

My Mother has been at the Blacktown Nursing Home for well over a year now. The girls here are wonderful, they look after Mum very well. Their job is no easy but they seem to take it all in their stride and stay focused. The facility is clean, modern and all the staff friendly and caring. Mum has a lovely room with a view and access to the home is great. She gets good meals and cups of tea, which she loves. I think when placing you older loved ones in a nursing home you need confidence that the people there are caring. You really cant do better than here. We are very happy with Blacktown Nursing Home!

Think this age care needs some care taken with it. Some sort of air- con system Up to date bathrooms would be a good start. A coat of paint in and out.

My Mum was a resident in Calare Nursing Home, Orange. My Mum passed away at age 100 and spent the last months of her life in Calare. The staff were extremely professional, nice and treated Mum like one of the family. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
