As an alternative to our Standard Rest Home bedrooms, we also offer Care Suites by way of an Occupation Right Agreement. Our Care Suites are a great option for those who require Rest Home level care but prefer a larger room with a private fully accessible ensuite and kitchenette.

Our Care Suites are certified as Rest Home beds. These Suites allow Residents to receive full Rest Home care while maintaining independence – a great way to transition from living in a larger home.
All Residents living in our Care Suites enjoy our full aged care services and facilities.

Kena Kena is a friendly resthome with a very homely atmosphere

It is owned and operated by 2 registered nurses, who have run the rest home for over 27 years and between them have over 100 years nursing experience.
We have a very dedicated team of workers, including great cooks who prepare fresh food daily.
We have two wings of Care Suites which are all certified Rest Home beds.
These units allow resident's to receive full rest home level of care but give the feeling of maintaining some independence.
They have a full disability en-suite and a small kitchenette and much larger room.
They are a great transition from coming from a larger house.

The Ministry of Health conducts regular audits of Residential Care Facilities. They can be found HERE.

NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who ‘buy’ into a retirement village. If you intend to ‘purchase’ you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.

In some villages there may be some Retirement Village units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
