SUM - Summerset Group

I know this person well and know the retirement village.It is their honest experience so far.
Nothing malicious but i understand that with nom de plumes one has to be careful re what anyone else says ;can be agendas galore ,esp on H/C.
Resthomes/villages are way better than they used to be. Trouble is speed and efficiency conflict with compassion and caring some of the time. I acknowledge its a tricky thing to balance caring for the elderly and making a profit. Just choose carefully when pacing a family member.Imagine it is yourself.

Meanwhile, an uptrend is tentatively laying down roots.. ?

How about looking after the elderly yourself...afterall they took great care of you. I think rest homes are doing a great job.
I think SUM is only a handful of CO'S in NZX undervalued at present BUT for how long?

The "potted" life of Julian Cook.

Short article.

Julian's "I never fail but ...." comment is cause for concern. Self-contradictory, delusional, and arrogant.... nice.

Kind of like hearing someone say "I am the humblest person I know".

I never fail but I left school and I didn't have a clue what I was going to do so I bummed around at university and had a good time.

I wonder if this comment from Julian Cook builds confidence for SUM share holders.

Ive heard first hand from a worker; not saying which village; just using this thread;saying that they are not allocated enough time to look after the residents that need care. So pressure is put on workers to dress and wash residents for example in a hurry making it very unpleasant and disrespectful to the residents and shortcuts taken e.g. dentures not cleaned and possibly nappies not replaced soon enough. It comes back to not enough staff.

Its basically the state of elderly healthcare in NZ. Missus is a RN in auckland hospital and is always completely run off her feet, most wards are understaffed and its not common to have to miss your lunch due to patient workload. I dont really get to complain about my office job at home haha. I wouldnt say what your contact is saying is anything other than the norm

Talk of 166 sales in Q4 has set the share price

Two sales fell through at the last minute
