The fees all vary by Geographical area and if your not a private payer your only really paying your pension minus the $80 odd bucks a fortnight you get for pocket money so quite cheap for fully catered care.

My "threat of violence" was an emotional reaction to your nasty comment about rest homes, and not serious, as you know full well. I am passionate about my job.it is one of the most under valued and under appreciated jobs, and I get defensive when people like you make disrespectful, generalised claims about the care our elderly receive.Yes, there are some carers who should not be working in the area, but the vast majority of us put everything we have into our jobs and we 100% care about our residents. If you (and others) are so disgusted with the care provided, why on earth would you ever invest in the sector?
I apologise for my bitch slap comment, but you are wrong about me. Every resident I care for is important to me. I care about each and every one of them. They are treated with respect, compassion and love. Always.
A bitch slap sounds just the ticket in this case.
May I suggest we get back to the business of comparing retirement village companies and their merits.
I see SUM has made some good announcements this morning :)
Accepted and im sure you do.And as i noted staff are overworked so cant always pickup on an aroma from residents in their lazyboys on wheels as they rush past a room call ,way down the corridor . Sadly at the care place i visit most of the long term carers and nurses who had been there a long time and who had a calling to do this work left when new management came in. Very different now. I have also been told by a carer at one place Adult nappies are issued at a two a day limit and she has had to sneak another one for a resident.
