Northern Health

This is the worst hospital for the elderly. My dad was admitted to get help with his parkinson but instead he was traumatised from the nurse that was so called looking after and abused. The nurse Nathan who abused my dad. He managed to leave a scratch mark on his neck and said it was an accident this cannot be an accident not like this. We expect the nurses to look after my dad for him to get better not to get treated like this. This is not professional and you call yourself a nurse. No matter how much my dad is aggressive or angry he cannot be treated like this.being abused like this . We have taken this further to the police and will take this to court and lay charges.And this is not an accident it's literally abuse.

This place is the worse place if you need help, there's no one who's around who helps. When my mother wants her case manger she ever to busy or not there she gone out. And my mothers case manger is not doing nothing for her, every time she rings up for something to be done at home case manger won't let her used her packages where's she got the funds to used. All her case manger says to her is (it's not my fault it's the government who said she you can't)

Yes this hospital is old but on the whole the staff are wonderful. Our 99 yr. Old mother spent just over 6 weeks recovering from a total hip replacement and although we would have liked her to have been getting more physio each day leading to what we felt would have been an earlier discharge we couldn't fault the care mum received from the nurses, doctor's and physio's, they were all so caring.

What an absolute disgrace of a place,mother-in-law came in and was way worse staying there. Social worker and doctors tried to send her to a nursing home.My husband got her back home and she improved 100 percent from being at home and not at the hospital.She went from being able to walk at home with her walker,and not even been able to get out of bed in hospital.Filthy rooms and unhygienic bathroom,please don’t send your elderly loved ones to this killing fields hospital,stay away

I had a referral to Dr Simon Croake as I'm not doing well spoke to intake they said they were happy to take me on board however he declined my stay and said he would only see me as an outpatient absolutely disgusted
