St Basil’s Aegean Village in South Australia has come in as the second lowest rated aged care home in the state for its food, with 13 per cent of those surveyed claiming that they never liked the food, and 47 per cent saying they only liked it sometimes.
Although operated under the auspices of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia, St Basil’s Homes (SA) is separately incorporated and independently managed.
St Basil’s Homes (SA) Corporate Services CEO Michelle Church told Adelaide Now that while their other aged care homes performed well in the survey, the Aegean Village’s results were “disappointing.”
“We have not met our usual high expectations at one of our sites, something we were aware of at the time of the survey and have already taken positive steps to improve the situation at the Aegean Village,” Ms Church said.
Ms Church added that among the adjustments are frequent resident meal tasting events to get feedback on anticipated menu revisions.
“Our recent internal data is far more positive and I’m confident with these new initiatives that we are on the right track to significantly improve these results in the next formal resident food survey.”
Residents at other Adelaide aged care homes ranked among the worst spend up to $100 a week on Uber Eats because they claim they cannot stomach the food.
