ACH Group-ViTA

Good staff (with only a couple of lazy/uncaring staff amongst the many who DO).Excellent rooms, one person per room, large TV with DVD (and Smart TV apps if you know how to use them - Mobile Hotspot works), arm supports for the toilet, rails for getting around the bathroom, shower chair, huge bed with rails, urine bottles with bed rail hooking baskets.Basic meals you'd get in Flinders Medical Centre - a shame that's the only part that falls over. McLaren Vale Hospital has roughly 20 less beds and better meals.Great gym for rehabilitation, with weights, steps, Motomed machines and even XBOX KINECTS.(No, REALLY. The management of FMC were exploring gaming exercise equipment. There's even a Wii Fit Balance Board!)All up, a 4/5 until the rough edges are fixed.(It'd be 3.5 without the Cafe on the Ground Floor! Look up Cafe Vita on Maps nearby! Their Lemon Slices, carrot cake and Mountain Fresh drinks [Tropical especially!] are great!)

Never let a relative or close friend ever stay at this place..my father in law spent a week there before passing away in a Nursing home ..he was not cared for properly had no interaction with the carers who apparently cared for him he came out worse than when he went into their care big complaints going but as way...keep clear of this place

Visited my mother on Christmas eve. The floor in her room had food particles and papers dispersed throughout the carpet. More recently we were informed my mother had a PCR test during our visit which came back positive placing us and grandchildren at risk of COVID. We should not have been allowed to visit her while VITA waited for the PCR result.

Terrible management. Do not work here if you are a fresh graduate nurse. They are invasive of your private life and they will pressure you to work with minimum supervision. Not to mention staying back unpaid.

Supportive managers, good teamwork best clients

WARNING DONT EVER HAVE A LOVED ONE GO HERE my grandad stayed for a week he had dementia which was not bad when he first arrived. He apparently fell out of his bed injuring himself ( my grandad had not sat up in 13 weeks before arriving) they decided to put him in a small wheelchair and wheeled him over to another hospital for tests my grandad was hurting so bad but unfortunately was unable to speak just moanWe went to visit him only to find him naked in bed on a 40 degree day with the heater on their excuse was he didn't want to get dressed he was also left with a wee jar attached to his privates for God knows how long. The light switches are held on by bandaids the floors are disgusting no one is around its like a ghost town. He had his medication practically forced down his throat when they knew he couldn't swallow properly resulting in him chocking no sincerity in any of the carers there's also no drs around only on call we waited 3 days for one. My grandad was mistreated so bad that we couldn't wait to get him moved and spend his last days with the respect and dignity he deserved. Please don't ever send anyone you love here absolutely disgusting and a disgrace to all the other carers who go above and beyond to make people feel the love they deserve .

The staff are EXTREMELY WONDERFUL

My father has been left all day in a wet bed because the staff came in early this morning, suddenly switched all the bright lights on in his room and told him he he had to get up out of bed for a shower. He was feeling unwell, with nausea and headache. He told the staff he just wanted to be left alone, probably I am assuming in a rather terse manner. Because of his refusal to cooperate and his aggression" he was not cared for at all throughout the day. All I can say is shame ACH SHAME!!!!!! When trying to address the situation with the Registered nurse on duty
