| Understanding Dementia
|
Bethany Hill is a 30-bed specialist dementia care rest home which provides a protected living environment for people who are affected by dementia and related disorders. We provide long term residential care, respite care, day care and care for under 65 with disability. We are set in a peaceful rural setting with magnificent southern views over Whangateau Harbour and Omaha Bay and beautiful native bushes and hills on our north and west boundaries. Our residents can enjoy watching the chickens and guinea fowls fossicking in the courtyard. Along the way, there are raised garden beds so residents can actively participate in gardening. The design maximises indoor-outdoor flow, with residents free to wander safely through the park-like surroundings without feeling confined. There are farm animals in the neighbouring paddocks, fruit trees and a vegetable garden which residents are encouraged to help tend. We believe that living with dementia does not mean being holed up indoors where it is ”safe” rather the engagement with nature, fresh air, appreciation of countryside and great outdoors each day can bring all kinds of benefits both physically and mentally.
At Bethany Hill, we understand what it means to feel at home and you are welcome to personalise the room with your own belongings. Family and friends are welcome to visit. We look forward to welcoming new residents and making them part of the warm family environment.
We would love to have the opportunity to talk to you about what we can do to help. You are welcome to visit us and discuss your needs with us. Please feel free to contact us.
"Don't dwell on the disease, value the moments, the pearls of wisdom, their smile and humour"
Get help sooner and more can be done.

Testimonials
| “We found this place by referral from the medical team ..... we did look at other options, and we felt that this place has an indoor and outdoor setting and is more than what you can hope for…” "I would recommend the place... The nature of dementia is challenging and it is nice to know there is something solid and ongoing here and we are happy with it.” "Wow you have such wonderful staff. They really care! I love seeing them having a cuppa with dad talking about stuff. It just looks like something normal!" "It was great to see my dad outside raking the leaves in the garden when I arrived, and not sitting inside" "I just want to thank you all for taking such good care of ...... Thank you for calling Mental Health Services, and for giving me the chance to be there too. I think that was the most thorough evaluation ..... has had, going right back to the neurologist who first diagnosed him. I hope the changes make a difference, as I'm sure you do too. Thank you - I know ..... couldn't be in better hands." "We don't know what dad gets up too as much now so we appreciate your regular updates." "I love getting your news letters, thank you. I now suggest to my friends in my support group that they ask other local facilities to do the same." |
