What's New

 

What a mixed month we have had weather wise!  One day its extremely hot, the next its cold enough to wear a jacket.  Irrespective of the weather changes, the fun continues at Puriri Court, and doesnt interfere with our great BBQs, Out and About bus trips or entertainment. 

 

The renovations continue at Puriri Court and its always lovely to see the colour choices Residents make prior to admission.  New Residents  can choose their own decor, and it is our job to "make it happen".  With a fantastic maintanence team, rooms are transformed, televisions installed, pictures/photos hung, and any other way our team can help a new Resident is completed with a smile.  Several  family members have thanked us for the "painless transition" they experienced when their loved one come into Puriri Court from their own home,   expressing their  gratitude for the way in which the admission is managed, and the help provided by the team, to help folk settle in.  The entire team, including maintanence are involved in the admit process.    All part of the service!!!!.
