Northhaven Hospital is a long-established and valued part of the Hibiscus Coast community. We are proud of our reputation for providing a homely, nurturing environment with a very high standard of care.
Our hospital has always been a popular choice, and has often had a waiting list. As a result, we have now added a new hospital wing, with 24 deluxe hospital rooms - all with ensuites. The new wing named 'Weiti Wing' was officially opened on 21st June, so we are now ready to welcome new residents to our wonderful new hospital accomodation.The living / dining areas are spacious, light and warm and we also have some wonderful framed photographs of the local area on our walls - for residents and families enjoyment. At Northhaven we have an open door policy so please feel free to call in and tour Weiti wing with one of our staff members. At Northhaven, we help people live the best lives they can, every day. The quality of our medical and nursing care is very important (and you can rest assured that it is excellent), but even more important is the enjoyment of each day – making sure everyone feels at home. Our passion is to make each day as enjoyable as it can be – for each of our residents, and for our wonderful staff. We can influence this through the way we bring care to people, the choices we can give and the activities we provide. Northhaven is warm and comfortable, with sunny lounges and decks, and safe outdoor areas. Our large attractive gardens are a feature. We know that it’s often the small things that can matter most, and we go out of our way to make sure they happen. Northhaven 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: |
