• Secure dementia and specialised dementia care

At Glenburn Rest Home and Hospital, we believe in laughter – to lighten the day, and bring everyone together. Life is about living and having fun – and this doesn’t change when you come to Glenburn. It’s part of how we care. We’re known for our homely atmosphere, and the excellent care that our friendly staff give.

Our caring team will make each day as enjoyable as it can be, for each of our residents. We want everyone to feel that Glenburn is their home. We’ll make sure your loved one chooses how they want to fill their days, and we will make sure we take the time to get to know their special likes and dislikes.

Friends and relatives can come and go whenever they like and are welcome to share meals (for a small charge). Health and circumstances might have changed, but underneath it all, we can still create enjoyment. We also have a retirement village on the same site, which can make life easier for partners with different care needs. We invite you to meet our team and see for yourself. You can always expect a warm welcome, here in the heart of New Lynn.
