The Federal Department of Health has imposed sanctions on Hillside at Figtree due to ‘’serious concerns’’ about residents’ safety, health and well-being. An assessment team from the Australian Aged Care Quality Agency identified the concerns during a visit to the aged care provider in mid April, according to a letter received by residents and relatives late last week. As a result, the letter from the health department stated that a number of sanctions had been imposed on Hillside for the next six months.
