Malvina Major Retirement Village

It is a good residential seniors care home. My s.i.l. meal looked nourishing and good.nI am concerned for residents safety on floor three noticing a huge crack in the architrave at the far end of the bridge . Leaks? In case of fire or earthquake I hope there is a good exit plan excluding the lift. The staff who presented while I was there were all very pleasant.nOne question. Security. I'm an 80 + visitor, have now been 4 times. Not once was I asked to sign in.nHaving worked in palliative and aged care previously for 10 years, may I ask is this normal. I feel In case of emergency staff cannot know who is on the premises and where.

If you're thinking about placing a loved one in this facility, particularly in the hospital wing, think long and hard. What you initially see is not necessarily what you get. Whilst it's hard to fault a good portion of the staff, the management and clinical management of the facility are nothing more than box tickers and budgetary managers - there's only one bottom line and most patients are an impediment to that. Management out of their depth, clinical management staff lack any empathy and compassion towards their patients/residents. What I can't understand is how poorly this facility rates compared to other Ryman facilities. They all work under the same template but .... if you're intent on a Ryman village, look at the others in the region for the benchmark as this one aint it!!!!.

Originally built as a motor lodge, it now operates as a retirement village. The facilities are clean and well appointed, the central atrium is a lovely sitting spot. A popular rest home

How about some honesty in advertising . Burma Rd Khandallah?nYou have to be joking .nIt’s Johnsonville.nKhandallah as always started at the southern end of Burma Straight , at the top of the Hill as you head down towards Khandallah Station.nYes I understand that Khandallah has more marketing impact that Johnsonville , but you are adjacent to Raroa train station and opposite Onslow College you in Johnsonville

I viewed this home in Aug 08 with my elderly mother and was very impressed with the facilities and cleanliness and the quality of the rooms.nI would recommend it to anyone looking for a fine facility for the older family members.
