    Family members are, at the moment calling Simcoe Terrace home. Apparently there are no apartments in Barrie they said the meals are horrid. Some just slopped on a plate in a mess, some are ice cold, still raw. Some days there are no meals at all because the kitchen has run out of food and residence are not getting fed. My family member is on government assistance so Simcoe Terrace takes almost their full benefit for being a resident of this establishment. This means that they have little to no money to go out and get proper meals when not being fed. Their hands are tied and this is disgusting! Staff are stealing from the residences rooms. And are mean to the ones that need assistance. Don't send your family members here.
