A nursing home in Charters Towers has had 18 serious complaints in the past year, and new management has been implemented to address the issue.

The Eventide Residential Aged Care Facility was investigated and the Townsville Hospital and Health Service will implement recommendations for the state-run facility. 

Health Minister Steven Miles says “for one centre to have 18 [complaints] suggested something going wrong”.
