Could new CEO of Presbyterian Aged Care comment on whether their Retirement Village (Park Linn Haven) is to be closed or sold? Residents are in a very precarious position as they have not been informed of thier future or if their tenancy is secure. This problem has been ongoing for the last 1 months and is affecting the health, Mental and Physical of the residents. Thank you.
