President Private Hospital 381 President Avenue, Kirrawee, New South Wales 2232

"Forget about rehab if you’re frail and elderly you will not progress here and will be deemed in cognitive if you are unwilling to participate. Nursing staff are caring. Physios are ok although over cautious therefore advancing in this facility for the elderly is not easy. OT is completely negative and suggests impossibly large and expensive equipment for the home. Stated to me that my mum will “never walk again “. Bed manager Janine is rude and judgemental and interferes with family decisions and their loved ones. Wouldn’t let me talk to mum’s doctor without her presence! Never heard of this. Made it difficult to return home with my mum to resume her provided care services. Said that she did Hurstville Private Hospital’s doctor a favour by taking mum in after her accident! How outrageous! Very immature and unprofessional behaviour coming from someone with this title. Unheard of! She refused to assist me with paperwork to hand to our GP and also did not allow the Geriatrician to hand me any paperwork either. Many complaints from other patients as well about the lack of care. I think this place should close down. Needs severe updating and get rid of the obnoxious manager."

"The hospital is so old and now looks dilapidated it needs to be pullrd down and rebuilt. bathrooms are old and not kept clean. Records and paperwork not electronic. Patients not getting quality care they need due to understaffing. Private patients poked into small rooms. Staff and Nurses are polite and lovely and doing their best under these. antiquated conditions. Private patients paying a fortune to be cared for in this environment. Take my advice find another hospital to put your loved one in."

"Their motto over the front door states "where caring still counts." However their visiting hours are 3pm to 6pm. Most of us work 9 to 5. By the time I get home visiting hours are over. Can't say that this displays caring, at least for any patients with working relatives. Ok. Whinges as a visitor aside, I have also been a patient here and received good care. The staff seem friendly."

"The Nurses are great etc.But the premises need a full revamp its as old as Jesus was.How about they invest some cash into the Hospital needs a full overall indeed its past its time old old & old. Also the Food the elderly need good nutrition also must be Hot not Cold.And a better variety of Meals Hit & Miss that is most days Chef should go back to Tafe is he Qualified I doubt it very much. That is why so many families are bringing there own food in as to give there loved ones better nutrition which they need. To the owners who ever they might be stay in there 2 to 3 weeks see how you all go with the run down Hospital the way it is. Not up to standard at all only the Nurses are."

"I cannot speak more highly about the mature part time lady physiotherapists at the outpatient department of President Private Hospital, Gymea. They are all very experienced in the exercise program they run for people like me who has just had surgery to replace my right knee joint. The variety of exercises in both the gym and the pool are first class. The ladies I have had most contact with are Glenda and Michelle and they both have a good sense of humour which gives one no time to get bored. The pool is heated and specifically designed for an exercise program."
