Our team is ready to care for you

 

Rest Home Care

​

Living in a rest home does not mean losing your independence, but rather recognises that you need help with some things that could not be provided regularly at home. This may include help with personal cares, ensuring you have regular nutritional food or help getting around.

Our aim is to provide a home away from home for you, maximising your independence, enjoying good company, and being confident that your personal care needs will be met in a respectful and dignified way.

 

Dementia Care

​

Dementia level care is for those who require a safe and secure environment that is easy to get around. Our unit is managed by specialist staff who have all completed Dementia Care training as set by the Ministry of Health and local District Health Boards.

Residents will have been assessed as requiring some help with personal cares, remembering to take medication, and prompting to ensure that they can continue to be part of their communities, feeling valued, respected and safe at all times.

 

Hospital Level of Care

​

This is the highest level of care and includes End of Life Care, Palliative Care and Short Term/Respite Care. There are Registered Nurses on duty 24/7 as well as caregivers, to ensure your needs are met. You may require two people or more to help you move around, shower, help with personal cares, toileting, dressing and possibly feeding.

We understand that losing some of your independence can be very difficult, so we offer a varied activities programme with groups you may wish to join, or individual programmes ensuring you still get to do what you want, when you want to, whether it is going to a local coffee shop, watching a movie, going to a concert or going out in our specially adapted van. Staff always accompany you so you don’t have to worry about getting around.

 

End of Life Care

​

Our entire team is skilled in caring for a person at the end of their life. We have specially trained Palliative Care Link Nurses and our General Practitioners have extensive end of life care knowledge and experience. We maintain close working relationships with the Hospice Team to ensure that only the best end of life care and support is provided to both you and your family. We promote advanced care planning to ensure that your wishes are held at the centre of your care.

 

Respite/Short Term Care

​

Regular breaks from a caregiving role are essential in order to continue to allow caregivers to continue caring for their loved one at home.  We are pleased to be able to offer this care to you.  We are happy to accept both subsidised and privately paid respite clients. You may also require a short period of care while you recover from being unwell or from an injury.  We are happy to work with you, your family and the other health professionals involved with your care to meet your short term care needs.

​

Activities

 

 

We understand how important being active is, both mentally and physically.  We provide a variety of activities, both within groups and on a one to one basis.  When you join us we ask that you tell us a bit about yourself and your life, work and family.  This enables us to ensure we meet your needs to provide meaningful activities that are important to you.

 

Group activities include bingo, board games, exercise, outings, quiz, and our one on one activities included reading, music, shopping, arts and crafts, hydrotherapy, manicures and foot spas.

​

Food

​​

Our kitchen can cater to a variety of diets including vegetarian, gluten free, diabetic, pureed or soft food diets.  We source all our produce locally with fresh deliveries several times a week.  We provide a varied seasonal menu to our residents.  Our menus are prepared and developed under the direction of a dietician to ensure that they are not only delicious, but nutritious.

Meals for those requiring pureed foods for dysphasia or swallowing difficulties receive special attention to ensure they look and taste like normal foods.
