Our Care Home has achieved 4 year's accreditation which is the highest achievement (the average is 3 years). The Ministry of Health report is available online.
We provide a robust activities programme including Tai Chi and mindfulness, poetry and Shakespeare conversation, daily exercise, games, quizzes and regular outings in the Village van to places of interest in the community.
Our kitchen provides healthy and appealing meals cooked on site. Enjoy a glass of wine with your dinner if you so choose, and join in with Happy Hour every Thursday!
We are situated very conveniently with the Meadowbank Centre across the road and the popular Meadow Cafe nearby. Kohimarama and St Heliers are a short drive away for visits with friends and family.
You can be sure of individual attention from our kind staff who understand that little things make a difference. They’ll support you in every way to maintain your contact and communications with family and friends who may not live close by through video calls and social media.
