Testimonials
| Admatha – Fulfilling Their Vision May 2018 Our lives suddenly changed when a hospital specialist told us, “Your husband/father will never be able to live an independent life again.” What do we do now? Admatha Dementia Care was our answer. We were plunged into the decision of looking for a home for him, when it was not even on the cards a week ago. As soon as we walked into Admatha, we unanimously said, “This is the place for Dad!” The welcome we received from the very first meeting was warm, informative, clear and friendly as we grappled with this new life in our state of shock. The next question was how to transfer a very confused and agitated man from hospital to Admatha? This was overcome immediately by the caring and thoughtful staff at Admatha. They made it so easy. In the months following there have been many ups and downs as our whole family has had to come to terms with our new lives and the Admatha staff have been there all the way. The “Best Friends Approach to Care” really works! The empathy, communication and incredible amount of loving patience shown to us and especially to our Dad/Husband never falters. Thank you Admatha, you are keeping all of your promises. Thank you very much. Joyce Bailey and family August 1st 2017 Hi everyone, I was so impressed with the extra level of care, empathy and understanding your staff showed both Dad and myself last week. I can't thank you enough for helping Dad, Mum, their children and grandchildren throughout this journey. It has not always been easy, but you somehow managed to get us all through it. Mum and I chose Admatha for Dad because we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and saw the caring, patient attitude towards the residents. When Dad moved to the Lodge, your wonderful team were able to provide even more one on one time for Dad. I'm pretty sure Dad really felt Admatha was his home and was happy there. I will never forget how comfortable he looked tucked up in his PJs in bed, just like a little boy all worn out from a big day! So a big thank you from all of us, to every single one of you, for caring for Dad. Marg Hudson April 21st 2017 Kia ora ano My mother, daughters and I wanted to ensure the excellent service and care you have given and continue to give our father/husband/grandfather is recognised. Dad became seriously unwell this week and an ambulance was called. The phone call from your staff member to alert us to this was professional, caring and kind. The hospital staff advised us that there was a high chance that Dad wouldn't make it through the night, but somehow he miraculously pulled through. I rang Admatha to see if I could arrange to get Dad's teeth which were left at the home. I had expected to arrange to get someone to collect them, but instead was delighted when Maria, the Clinical Manager, turned up with them at the hospital. Dad was being quite difficult at this stage and both the hospital staff and I watched in amazement as Maria calmed Dad down, managed to get him seated and took the time to encourage him to put his teeth in. He became more difficult and frustrated as the day continued and the hospital staff wanted to move him to another ward. I knew this wouldn't be a good idea and asked Maria and Debra if there was any chance they would take him back. They never hesitated, and the minute we dropped him back to Admatha, we knew we had made the right decision. He relaxed and settled right back in. Admatha has become his home. He is happy there. The staff are incredibly patient and caring. I love hearing the way they talk to my father and how they get him to smile and laugh. Although Mum struggles with the fact that she has become unable to care for him at home, she is grateful for the loving care he receives at Admatha. As a family we are very grateful to the amazing team at Admatha. Thank you. A. Dahl August 29th 2016 Hi Deb, Maria and team. If anyone is looking for a place for their loved one with dementia to live, then this is it. My Mum was in another establishment and then I moved her to Admatha, first the home and then the hospital. From the beginning it was a huge relief to know that she was well looked after and loved as an individual - that's pretty special. And at the same time, the staff cared about how I was coping. I cannot speak highly enough of the care that Mum received. The layout of both feels like home with a kitchen, tables, lounge areas and gardens. And the staff are always there working, updating records, feeding, talking, touching and laughing. My Mum really sparked up with the attention she received and when she was dying, staff popped in to her room just to say hi and cried with me when she passed away. Thank you Admatha. S. Chappell I must tell you about Wilfred’s time in Admatha. At first he was a bit quiet probably because he was homesick and a little bewildered in his new surroundings. Soon, however, he felt the warmth and special care that Admatha gives. In fact I would go so far as to say that the care for each and every resident is exceptional. That I saw as a visitor. Wilfred was a loving caring man himself and I am not surprised that he soon won the hearts of the young carers at Admatha. Even as he became very ill on his last days he still managed a smile for them as they tenderly cared for him, and he would mean it. You have a wonderful staff there, every one of them. God bless you all. Betty Dodge 07/09/2012 Our Mum Jennifer has been a resident of Admatha Lodge since January 2009. My brother and I visited a number of dementia units but loved the homely feel and very friendly staff at Admatha. We have nothing but admiration, gratitude and sincere thanks for the level of care that they provide to her. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming. They treat all residents as if they were their own family members with love, understanding and many cuddles. Due to the nature of the illness, visits can often be difficult and emotional. However the staff are so wonderful and friendly that they help lift your mood when you are having one of those times. The lines of communication are always open. Any issues our Mum may have had such as a fall, seizure or any problems related to her dementia are always communicated. We consider ourselves to be a part of the Admatha family. It is our Mum’s home and they treat her as a very special member of it – just as we would all encounter and expect in our own homes. Bridget and Simon Mather October 2010. CHRISTMAS 2011 THANK YOU ADMATHA CONTINUITY, CONSISTENCY, CARING, KINDNESS, THOUGHTFULNESS, LOVE EARTHQUAKE PROOF QUALITIES. THANK YOU ADMATHA FOR PROVIDING THE PRECIOUS NECESSITIES OF LIFE THROUGH A CHALLENGING AND DIFFICULT YEAR. THE EXPERTISE AND SPECIAL CARE YOU PROVIDE IS BEYOND THE PEOPLE AND FAMILIES THAT YOU CARE FOR. THIS CHRISTMAS I HOPE THAT EACH ONE OF YOU RECEIVE TENFOLD THE LOVE AND CARE YOU HAVE GIVEN TO OTHERS. WE COULD NOT HAVE QUALITY OF LIFE WITHOUT YOU ALL. DURING A VISIT TO MUM LAST WEEK I WATCHED KIM MAKING CHOCOLATES FOR THE CHRISTMAS PARTY. MUM AND SOME OTHER RESIDENTS WERE SITTING WATCHING AND SAMPLING THE CHOCOLATES AS KIM TOOK THEM OUT OF THE CHRISTMAS MOULDS. I HAD BEEN FEELING EMOTIONAL AT THE PROSPECT OF CHRISTMAS DAY AND HOW IMPRACTICAL IT WOULD BE TO ATTEMPT TO TAKE MUM HOME. SEEING HER SITTING HAPPILY ENJOYING THE CHOCOLATE IN THE FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE OF THE KITCHEN SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO CARE I REALISED SHE WAS “HOME” THANK YOU ALL HAPPY CHRISTMAS LOVE MARY ROBERTS Placing my father into care was the hardest decision of my life. He had been diagnosed with dementia five months earlier and I was told to look around, find a home that I liked and put his name down. With two cousins, I started looking at dementia rest homes not too far from home. Of the places we viewed Avonlea was by far the nicest. Even the guided tour was the friendliest and most helpful. I didn't know what to look for in a rest home but fortunately my two cousins are a nurse and a diversional therapist respectively. I held off as long as I could putting dad into care. When I eventually couldn't put it off any longer there were no vacancies at Avonlea so he went to Admatha. The staff there saw that I was having a hard time with my decision, so as well as taking great care of dad they gave me great support and friendship too. I felt a lot of guilt over placing dad into care but I have learned since then that this is quite normal for families. I believed I had failed him, but I could no longer manage at home. The quality of the care and the helpfulness, courtesy and friendliness of the staff made the transition easier for both dad and I. The way they talked with dad you would think they had been good friends for years. A few weeks later dad transferred to Avonlea where the service, staff and atmosphere were as great as Admatha. Fourteen months later, due to declining physical health dad was reassessed and reqired dementia hospital level care. I was lucky enough to be able to get him into Admatha Lodge, where the high level of care continues. I really like the small home system as it has made it easier for dad to cope with the changes in his life. The cosy environment makes visiting much more pleasant too. I am included or notified about any decisions regarding dad's care and every time I visit him I get an update on his day, and health in general. Dad often enjoys the regular entertainment, and with some coaxing from the diversional therapists will sometimes participate in activities. The policies and the people have made this whole experience a lot easier and more pleasant than I could ever have anticipated. It is also a great comfort to know that dad is safe and well cared for by really special people. Michael Ferguson October 2010 Jim Archbold - Our family member, has been a resident at Admatha Lodge for the past couple of months. We have been extremely impressed by the way that the staff at Admatha have endeavoured to make his transition as smooth as possible. A lot of time and effort was put into understanding Jim's individual needs and personality, prior to his arrival. He has settled in extremely well, it has been a "no-stress" and painless move for him and the family. As a family we are extremely grateful and thankful to all the Admatha Staff, for the extremely high level of dedicated professional loving care that Jim receives. Admatha is the third residential facility that Jim has been in, and we can say without hesitation that it is providing by far the best care that he has ever received. His personal grooming is always of a very high standard. Something that stands out for us is the ongoing and constant support that exists for the residents' families. There are regular meetings and opportunities to discuss activities and developments at Admatha. We bring our young children to visit their grandfather. They enjoy their visits to Admatha and are made to feel welcome. Admatha Lodge is always clean and tidy. When you walk in you are greeted with the fresh welcoming smells of home baking. This is a sharp contrast of the typical hospital smells that we have smelt at other facilities and which we have never experienced at Admatha. Admatha is providing a friendly, happy caring environment for Jim and we have no concerns about him when we are not there. We would have no hesitation at all in recommending Admatha to other families who are seeking a residential facility that delivers the highest standards or care to their loved ones. Beth Archbold, Debbie Jenks, Jims Family. My mum has been at Admatha Lodge for nineteen months, she’s really happy there and she considers it her home. My Mum and I have always been very close so I am at the Lodge every day and have my lunch with her. I find all the staff are lovely to her, and share a joke with her. On a Saturday and Sunday evening I ring to see how she is. The staff will ask if I want to speak to her. The Registered Nurse is very professional and a lovely caring person who I can approach at any time. There is a senior Caregiver Sandra who has put Mum at ease in the shower, because Mum is terrified of water. Sandra will sing songs that she knows Mum likes, to take her mind off the water. I think that Sandra is an excellent Caregiver and I can’t praise her enough. She is the same with every resident. The other senior caregiver Alison who works with Sandra most days is very experienced and a lovely person. I like the other residents and know all of them by name. The meals are very nice, a good variety and well cooked. There are activities going on throughout the day and Yvonne the new Diversional Therapist is a very nice, friendly and welcoming person. Lynly who is now the weekend manager used to be the Diversional Therapist. She is great, she gets things done. You can be sure she will get onto any problem and fix it. I find all the staff are friendly and I get on well with all of them. Admatha Lodge is like my second home. Cindy Hughes "My husband has been a resident of Admatha for over two years and we have always been very pleased to be associated with Admatha where everyone is treated as a loved family member. The individual care and attention given by the carers never fails to delight us, and contributes to the happiness and family feeling which is found at Admatha. All the carers are never too busy to listen to individual needs, and this makes everyone feel as if they are very precious. Also, visitors are most welcome to stay at any time, and they know residents and their visitors by first name. Admatha is a happy place to visit at any time of any day". Avery Family "We would like to recognise the wonderful care and attention given to our sister, Sally, since she came to live at Admatha in February 2007. Sally's dementia has deteriorated over the last couple of years and, having had an intellectual disability all her life, her comprehension of what was happening to her was quite beyond her. Your staff at Admatha have taken Sally under their wing with total love, care and understanding and the professional way you, the management, and your staff have performed. We also get enjoyment from the hospitality of the staff and their recognition of us. There always seems to be time to make a cup of tea no matter how busy they are. Admatha's philosophy and structure have impressed us to a degree that we have recommended you to the community that Sally was living at. Our recommendation is that they formally adopt Admatha as their primary Care destination for the other folk who are approaching needing Dementia Care. We would like to thank you and the staff for your dedication and care of Sally". John and Linda Tucker Our Mum has been a resident of Admatha Lodge since January 2009. My brother and I visited a number of dementia units but loved the homely feel and very friendly staff at Admatha. We have nothing but admiration, gratitude and sincere thanks for the level of care that they provide to her. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming. They treat all residents as if they were their own family members with love, understanding and many cuddles. Due to the nature of the illness, visits can often be difficult and emotional.

It is our Mum’s home and they treat her as a very special member of it – just as we would all encounter and expect in our own homes. B. & S. M. |
