A change of address, not of lifestyle, is how we like to describe a person’s move into a Presbyterian Support Otago home or hospital.
Residents continue to have personal choices – when to get up in the morning, go on outings, be involved in activities…daily life is determined by individual needs and preferences. Elmslie House Rest Home & Hospital has a Presbyterian foundation and people from all backgrounds and nationalities are welcome. Beautifully positioned a few streets back from Lake Wanaka, Elmslie is very much part of the community and has an active "Friends of Wanaka" volunteer group. Offering a wide range of services, its rest home rooms are always in demand. The staff does all it can to help residents and families experience a good transition to living at Elmslie, and welcomes family input into creating the right ‘personal feel’ for their loved one.

| Because we believe in providing the best care possible for our Hospital residents, our staffing levels are at the higher end for this sector.
We place great emphasis on thorough orientation and on-going training for all staff, and support them when undertaking nationally recognised sector-specific qualifications. The percentage of staff passing such qualifications is increasing annually. Because we focus on ensuring residents maintaining their current levels of fitness and functioning physically as well as is possible, we have a very high level of physiotherapy input into care plans – something unique in residential care. We continually invest in our facilities so that there is a high level of equipment such as hoists, special beds etc. Equipment-wise, our facilities are very well provided for. We are moving to implement the Liverpool Care Pathway for end of life care. This is internationally recognised as being ‘best practice’ in terms of palliative care. |
