Other services
For those who need a little more assistance with daily living, HBH Senior Living offers a dedicated, 32-dual purpose bed rest home. Meals, activities and personal care are provided and you can rest assured that a highly trained nurse is in charge at all times.
CARE PHILOSOPHY
Living life to the full, as independently as possible, with support and medical care at hand 24/7.
LIVING SPACE
Rooms are larger than most (17 metres square with a full ensuite), so there is plenty of space to bring the things you treasure. All rooms have a built-in wardrobe, vanity and storage and are pre-wired for Sky, phone and Internet. And best of all, every room opens onto a deck or patio.
There are also three communal lounges (with Wifi available), as well as a large dining room and activities space.
FEATURES OF OUR CARE
> Managed by the Clinical Service Lead with day-to-day management by a registered nurse.
> Support with personal care (showering and dressing assistance) and supervision of medical conditions.
> Three GPs who undertake regular check-ups every three months or as medically required.
> Regular family meetings with senior staff to review care.
> Occupational therapist, physiotherapist and podiatrist available.
> Activities programme and support for residents to organise their own activities and hobbies.
> Laundry is taken care of, although we have a resident laundry and drying room available if you want to do any of your own laundry or special items.
> All meals and snacks provided fresh from own onsite kitchen, including an optional buffet breakfast so residents can get up when they wish.
> Menus are supervised by a dietician.

Thanks again, Mary All of the staff do such a great job and we appreciate it very much."
