HBH Senior Living’s fully licensed, 98-bed hospital is designed for those who require a high level of medical care and support, including respite care, dependent on availability. We also cater for people with dementia or cognitive decline.
Our qualified and dedicated staff combines Christian compassion with the highest standards of nursing care and we’re proud to have earned the highest level of certification from the Ministry of Health.
LEVEL OF CARE
For older people or those with disabilities who have significant medical issues and require assistance with most or all personal care and activities of daily living. This includes people with mild to significant dementia or cognitive issues.
LIVING SPACE
Rooms are larger than most (average 17 metres square and most include a full ensuite), and residents are encouraged to bring as much of their own furniture and belongings as possible. Most rooms open onto a deck or patio and all rooms have a built-in wardrobe, vanity and storage and are pre-wired for Sky, phone and Internet. Each of the four units has its own dining room, lounges/activity rooms and sitting areas.
FEATURES OF CARE
> Managed by the clinical services lead, with each unit managed by a Registered Nurse.
> Support with personal care and supervision and management of medical conditions.
> Three GPs – routine check-ups every month or as medically required.
> Regular family meetings with senior staff to review care.
> Occupational therapist, physiotherapist, podiatrist and social worker available.
> Menus are supervised by a dietician.
INDUSTRY ENDORSEMENTS
Our hospital has been awarded four years certification (the highest level of certification available) from the Ministry of Health. HBH Senior Living is a fully registered Eden Alternative facility, only one of two in Auckland. The Eden Alternative is a philosophy of care that aims to transform residential care by putting the needs of older people at the centre of everything we do.
WELLBEING
We offer chaplaincy and weekly church services, weekly Happy Hour, library trolley and hairdresser, as well as a range of daily activities, regular social functions and celebrations. For those with green fingers, gardening opportunities are available and animal lovers can enjoy our resident pets. Residents may also be able to bring their own pet.
COMMUNITY
A mini bus is available to take residents on weekly bus trips. Volunteers help with a range of activities as well as friendship and companionship, and HBH Senior Living is a member of the Eden Alternative, a philosophy of care based on helping older people to have a life of purpose, meaning and variety.

The qualified friendly staff are to be commended." "I feel very well looked after. I don't feel like I live in a hospital - it feels like a home most of the time." "Being able to walk in at any time and then leave again knowing Dad is well cared for makes the world of difference." "Just a note to say 'thank you' for the card and good wishes extended to me while in hospital. I was made to feel very much at home and the care and physic were wonderful. Everything was great." |
