HammondCare Greenwich Hospital

"Excellent Service, Extremely friendly staff. Helpful, understanding , caring and compassionate towards my father in palliative care and my family. Thank you to all the doctors and nurses who looked after Dad. Highly recommended the place"

"Riverglen unit is a full scale psychiatric ward that restrains patients. They have 2 staff on at night for 20 geriatric psychiatric patients. The unit has the look and feel of a prison. If thats what you expect then I think they are most likely fine. In my case we felt mislead by Royal North Shore about the nature of care they were trying to transfer my mum to. Be very careful before trusting RNS, make sure you inspect any transfer options personally and ask about staff ratios and use of restraints (at least)."

"My mother came here for palliative care for a number of weeks. The care provided by the doctors and nurses during her stay was simply outstanding. The room was great, and the food was of a good standard. This is an excellent hospital, and I would not hesitate recommending it to anyone considering admission."

"The care and devotion of the staff to my aunt at the Greenwich palliative care facility has been incredible. Her stay was extended. Our family has experienced several similar facilities over the years. At all times, the nurses and doctors were responsive to my aunt's needs and extremely sensitive to her pain management and comfort requirements. Communication with our family was exemplary. While medical care was exceptional, the team do not simply take a 'clinical' approach to end of life. My aunt was as comfortable as possible and calm. The Greenwich facility was extremely clean at all times. Finally, thank you for everything!"

"Inpatient palliative care team excellent. Very caring, experienced doctors, nurses, social workers. They were always there offering the best to my dying mum. Unfortunately I can’t say the same for the outpatient palliative care nurses. They didn’t seem to have the time or interest in supporting my mum and family."
