Mount Victoria Lifecare is fortunate to have very loyal staff and in particular the Clinical Nurse Leader, Paula Hobman, has been working in aged care for a very long time. Her expertise enables her to lead her staff to provide the quality care the residents deserve. The Recreation activities programme is a real plus for the Mount Victoria Lifecare Residents. It is full of varied interesting activities which keep the residents involved and as active as possible. The van is used to take the residents on regular trips to interesting parts of Wellington. The Day Care programme benefits from the opportunity to work in with the Activities programme. Those people who enjoy the programme can come every day of the week if they wish. They receive a main meal and morning & afternoon tea. If they require other assistance such as showering, the staff at Mount Victoria Lifecare are able to accommodate this. Mount Victoria Lifecare is a very happy friendly place. Please do not hesitate to give Paula a call to view the facility. Phone 04 389 7007. |
