Resthaven is a refuge, a sanctuary during this Covid crisis. Much love to you all. Keep safe". Ref #3434 August 2020" As her stay was during Covid lockdown, we realize there were limitations out of your control. We did appreciate your high standards to keep patients safe. Staff were kind and caring and always ready to listen and most helpful." Ref #3435 September 2020 "They looked after mum through some very testing times, and there was always someone I could talk to. I would recommend Resthaven to anyone needing heartfelt care." Ref #3435a September 2020 "Thank you for your great communication updates. I am so grateful that I can continue to visit my Mum. I appreciate that Resthaven understands how vital it is for our loved-ones to see their family". Ref #3472 December 2020 " Mr & Mrs Claus - such a delight and joy to have these two staff members come into Tui with a trolley of goodies, a bright smile and a guitar.

The decor could be described as tired, but for me that paled into insignificance in the overall picture.

Special Features
| Cambridge Resthaven is a Community Charitable Trust, 100% owned by the Cambridge Community. We believe that as there are many individuals living at Resthaven, all have different personalities, values and beliefs, so that no-one philosophy will 'fit' or meet everyone's needs. With this in mind Resthaven utilize a number of philosophies to guide us in our interactions with individuals as follows (this list is not exhaustive); * HUMANITAS - We cannot cure old age - "care" is secondary to living. 1. Everyone wants to be in control of his or her own life. If one's brain is still functioning, that person can and wants to decide for him/herself what is important. 2. People would actively participate as much as able "too much care is worse than too little care" because skills atrophy. 3. there are no "us's" and "thems" - meaning those in need of care and the professionals who give it - but rather we are all apart of an extended family who share common goals. 4. The YES culture - All concerned (management, employee, family, client, volunteer) will need a positive attitude towards any request concerning the wish to be in control and actively participate or have new ideas. *V.I.Ps - V = Values people - Values and promotes the rights of the person, recognizing we can all learn from each other. I = Individual's needs - Provides individualized care according to needs - we are all different. P = Perspective of service user - Understands support and care from the perspective of the person - putting yourself in the other person's shoes. S = Supportive social life and environment - recognizing the benefits of socialization e.g. reduced risk or depression, stronger immune system and eliminating loneliness. *NAMASTE - "To honour the spirit within" - Recognizing and ensuring that all support/care and activities help bring pleasure to people. Keeping a person clean, fed and groomed is not living - it's existing. People need to feel wanted, loved and feel as if they can still contribute (Namaste Care TM) *NORMAL LIFE: Activities of daily living are the things we normally do e.g. feeding ourselves, bathing, dressing grooming, housework, shopping, cooking, caring for others, caring for pets. All of these aspects should be part of our resident's day, promoting independence and to be part of normal life. Cambridge Resthaven provides a quality, personalized care. We respect the dignity and individual rights of our multicultural society. We demonstrate a caring manner. We strive for excellence in service delivery. We will advocate for those in our care. We don’t want people just to exist but to experience quality of life. Cambridge Resthaven was built with the money raised by the community and is run by the Cambridge Resthaven Trust Board. OUR FACILITIES Our facilities are well maintained and upgrades completed so that we continue to play a major role in the support of the elderly residents of Cambridge and districts. We are well resourced and have appropriate equipment such as electric beds,vans,wheelchairs, and Spark of Life equipment. There are many small areas for private, quiet time dotted around the facility. We also have 2 lounges and 2 dining rooms. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Fundraising for a rest home in Cambridge was started in 1964 by the members of the Fencourt Country Womens' Institute. The project caught the attention of local people and what eventuated was to be the town's first Resthome which opened in 1972 - RESTHAVEN. The journey began with an early bequest made by Miss Alice Hanlin and the establishment of the Cambridge Resthaven Trust. Widespread community support was demonstrated by the range of organisations represented on the inaugural Trust Board i.e. Lions, Rotary, RSA, Federated Farmers, Federation of Country Women’s Institutes, Borough Council.

Families are more dispersed and therefore have less capacity to provide support to older members of their family, and the gap between available funding and peoples needs is ever growing. The Resthaven Foundation's focus is to fundraise for services, care options and aged-care education for the Cambridge and Waipa/Matamata/Piako communities. The emphasis is on making services and facilities, linked to the Foundation, accessible and affordable, wherever a person chooses to live - in a retirement village, resthome or in their own home. VISITORS Visitors are always welcome. However, we do ask for Infection Control and Health & Safety that all visitors pre-arrange their visit. (Please do not visit if you are unwell and masks are still required when visiting aged care facilities.) There are tea/coffee making facilities for visitors. If residents would like family members to join them for a meal this can be arranged with the staff on duty. There is a small charge for meals - please ask at reception. |
