Lifestyle SA Questions & Answers

Dear Ken, your experience is not an isolated case. My personal feeling is this is elder abuse. MP's and others can do nothing to stop it. Given the cost to residents and the denial of maintenance one wonders why the highlighting of such abuse is going unheard. The devil indeed has a name. I will continue to advocate for my Mother and Mother in law, even though I have been silenced. I wish you all the best. The twilight years should be times of joy, no stress and comfort, all of which are of no relevance to Lifestyle SA. Given my family have been involved since the inception, over 18 years and the control that is used over their lives whilst taking over a hundred dollars a week now it is both disgusting and appalling. What is actually offered is a lack of respect, no integrity and an abuse of power, all things that the elderly deserve better than. Six months to repair a termite infestation that I detected, not Lifestyle and fighting every step of the way to have it repaired. To have to fight, be abused and still pay $2000 in maintenance in that time is criminal in my opinion. Making Mum go to the office for a maintenance form in a full leg brace with a broken wrist and finally giving me a litre of paint so I could paint the outdoor area so Mum could sit out, withholding the paint for months, then asking for the remainder of paint back. And actually giving me the wrong colour knowing full well it was wrong. I had to paint it whilst on chemo aged 55 !!!!!!!!!
