Conditions in nursing home in question

I've heard on the ABC this morning that an agency nurse sent to Thursday Island to work in a nursing home has reported dreadful conditions in the home - filthy appalling conditions for the residents.

Certainly as a result of that complaint and previous ones - and news that the home had recently been assessed by the authorities - there will be another audit.  

Perhaps one of the issues here is that it is difficult to get quality aged care workers to go to such a remote place as Thursday Island.

In any case it is hoped that the authorities actually do something about making the management clean up their act.  I'm sure there is much more to the story!!  Maybe we will hear more.
