Garrawarra Centre is a facility of last resort for many families and they’re crossing their fingers that it regains its accreditation. Many took to social media this week to defend the embattled Waterfall facility, after the release of a damning report by a federal government agency. The Australian Aged Care Quality Agency report revealed that Garrawarra met just 37 of 44 expected outcomes of the national accreditation standards. The report stated that the dementia-specific facility, run by NSW Health, was failing to provide a safe environment for residents who were frequently being assaulted by other patients. It stands to lose its approval as an aged care provider if it doesn’t meet all standards by November 27.
