Close to main hospitals and parks with Doctor's rooms across the road. Riccarton Happy Club is 100 metre's away, offering a social scene outside the Rest Home.
This Home is suitable for residents that are experiencing some memory loss as it is small and has one central hallway. We are especially good at looking after the person that would benifit from extra one on one care. Not a large home this makes it easy to ajust to, for a new resident. Lovely enclosed garden walk. As the weather permits we encourage residents to take a stroll through the garden. We are very proud of the reputation we hold for our meals. Top quality, freshness, presentation and variety are the aims of our very experienced cooks. The atmosphere is homely and welcoming to a new resident. We have a respite care bed available to be booked in advance. If you book the bed we guarantee it will be available for when you need it. |
