Avoid this place if at all possible ! I recently spent a month there.. and while there are a few good people.. The majority of the staff will tell you whatever you wanna hear but never follow through… Many times waited 45 minutes to sometimes two hours after pressing the call button because I was bedridden.. a few of the nurses were great.. but most of the the night shift and the weekend staff are unresponsive, rude and some just totally unqualified.. There was literally holes in the wall and bugs, they took belongings out of my room in the middle of the night while I was sleeping. Thankfully found a good rehab place after that… Melbourne Terrace, the difference between these two facilities is day and night. I can’t believe that the state classifies them in the same category. Stay away !
