Sunset Rest Home and Hospital offers Wholehearted Care and support in a warm, friendly environment with happy, dedicated, multi-cultural staff. Sunset's expansive grounds provide opportunity for walks in the fresh air and there are plenty of spacious communal areas and “cosy nooks” to enjoy. Sunset is close to shops, services and bus stops.
Sunset is well established and respected in Blockhouse Bay and enjoys strong community involvement and support. Sunset is part of the Bupa group of rest homes, hospitals, retirement villages and personal medical alarms. We are a private company, and because we have no shareholders, we can invest what we earn to make improvements that help us provide better care. As part of the global Bupa group, we are able to provide superior clinical support, while focusing on helping each of our residents get the most out of each day. Bupa is one of New Zealand’s leading aged care providers. For more information, please visit the Bupa link below. Our facility also offers these services: |
