Kandahar Court

Situated in the Masterton suburb of Lansdowne, Kandahar Court, Enliven's specialist dementia care facility in the Wairarapa, is homely and welcoming, and residents enjoy the engaging atmosphere and spacious grounds.

This home is more than bricks and mortar; it’s a place of connection, compassion and understanding. We understand that the experience of dementia can be distressing. At Kandahar Court, staff are specially trained in supporting people with dementia and their familes and friends.

Residential dementia care
Everyone experiences dementia symptoms differently. That’s why the care and support we provide is individualised to your needs and feelings. Enliven’s practical approach to advanced dementia care focuses on enriching the lives of people with dementia and reigniting that spark for life. It supports Enliven staff and families to interact in ways that keep people with dementia connected to the world around them.

Enliven has found that providing those with dementia with both the emotional and physical care they need often results in improvements in language, memory, self-esteem, and social interactions.

For residents with dementia or for elders who are wandering and finding themselves in unsafe situations, our secure dementia cottages have been designed to reflect a domestic home rather than a more clinical hospital setting. They include domestic-style kitchens, comfortable lounges, and outdoor garden and courtyard spaces.

We also offer short-term dementia respite, subject to availability.
