Relative independence. Smaller complex. Gardens. Unit has garden, private area back....Read more

Pros

Relative independence. Smaller complex. Gardens. Unit has garden, private area back.

Cons

High turnover of staff/management. Inconsistent help from staff as decided by management. Facilities getting run down. Too many empty villas - future questionable.

Suggestions to Management or General Comment

Stop the game of thrones, firing the good staff. Invest in the complex. Listen to the tenants. Is it legal for Ultimate Care to pocket in any increase in pension?
