This place needs closing down. Nurses blatantly lie about daily care that they should do but don't do it. The other day my catheter was leaking. I was left with a soaking wet bed for 5 hours before they did I anything. A care management that needs doing every year not done for 3 days and she records that she did it. Its not a rehab, it's not a hospital. Even the food is shocking. A prison would be better. I did not write this review. I spent 3.5 months here when it was a patient also other times. I have even suggested being ... read more

Staff fantastic during the week, weekend staff awful, denigrating yo elderly patients, no empathy for patients adjusting to being inprisoned. Patients can't go outside for sunshine even with family taking responsibility. This place overlooks the ocean, such a healing place. BuT No patients must spend their days locked up. Prison is more empathetic than this place. Please don't send family here unless they are severe dementia, where they don't know where they are regardless.

This is what Coledale hospital feeds the residents! Staff who really care resign, as they can't stand how other staff treat the residents. It is not a hospital, it is just a "parking place" where the "unwanted" are kicked out of hospitals to wait for a placement in an aged care home. Disgusted how society continues to let down our elderly!

The whole Illawarra Health system has been very dissapointing. With poor food, unattentive staff and a lack of care for patients. Coledale Hospital seems to be lowest level we have seen so far. The food is slop that wouldn't pass in a prison. Which is the general feel of this Hospital, with the windows closed and the doors locked. Back to the food i nearly threw up as they served it to my Dad, we got takeaway instead. If you are under the impression that this is a rehab centre. It is not. The rehab centre is closed and not i... read more
