If you’re seeking respite care for yourself or a loved one, we understand how important it is to find a nurturing environment that feels like home. At Radius Potter Home, we provide integrated health and life care, ensuring that every resident receives the support they need. Our respite care offers essential short-term assistance for individuals who may be unwell, recovering, or simply in need of a little extra help.

Located in the heart of Whangarei City, our beautiful, park-like surroundings create a tranquil setting for recovery. Our home features a dedicated unit for younger people with special needs, alongside a rest home and private hospital, providing a range of lifestyle options for older and disabled New Zealanders. For our rest home residents, we have separate dining and lounge areas, and we organise weekly outings to foster community engagement and enjoyment.

Our dedicated registered nurses and caregiving staff are experienced and trained in all aspects of health care, ensuring that every resident receives compassionate and personalised attention. At Radius Potter Home, we pride ourselves on creating a comfortable, home-like atmosphere filled with fun and laughter.

If you’re considering respite care, we’re here to help. Give us a call, and we’ll guide you through the process and arrange a visit to Radius Potter Home. Let us show you how we can support you or your loved one during this time.
