Bupa Aged Care Morphettville

I don't work here, but I volunteer on a Tuesday for a few hours with my Labrador Sheldon. The staff are caring & kind & really look after the residents.

I am very happy with this facility, especially the memory care unit where my husband is now placed. While it is not the most glamourous facility; (no fancy rooms or grand common areas,) it a large memory unit with plenty of staff. It has one of the largest outdoor area for our Loved Ones to wander around with shaded areas, pathways, green grass and resting stations. My husband is well into his dementia journey with no interest in en-suites or fancy rooms. He needs medical attention, caring people around him and space to wander and Bupa Morphettville ticks all the boxes. The staff are caring, respectful and attentive and although the bedrooms are small with no ensuites, they are clean and there is plenty of space for the wanderers. Dementia is a heartbreaking disease as it is, so with plenty of staff to manage the residents, it's a safe and caring place for those quirky individuals with their individual needs. Visitors can take their loved ones out of memory care and into main area for concerts, events and also coffee at the onsite cafe. I've posted some photos of the outside of Memory Care from April 2023

To get in to see someone is very difficult to see our loved ones there are people inside with un Necessary restrictions.

I use to work there years ago, I would always come home crying due tothe lack of staff and me being over workedI loved caring for the residents but I was always sad not having enough time to spend with them I had my break down 7 years ago which ended up not being able to continue with my job over time. Maybe I cared to much .as I use to report staff when I sawsomething that wasn't right . And nothing was done I hope things have changed for the residents and staff it's a lovely job I had started at 16years of age and I enjoyed it .unfortunately the days I worked there haunt me all the time

I couldn't stand walking through this facility. I wanted to cry it was so depressing. I wouldn't send my worst enemy here. Staff are rude and dismissive of clients and I was only their for a tour. That short glimpse was enough. Let's not even mention how dirty the place is
