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.

Elmslie also offers:
Hospital care facilities
8 rental independent living units which are valuable is assisting the older person make the transition from living in their own home to living at Elmslie's home if the need arises.

The new development of Wanaka Retirement Village is adjacent to Elmslie House.

Interests & Activities

Maintaining regular social and community group activity our individual residents had before moving to Elmslie House apartments and cottages, is encouraged. We believe residents should maintain the connection they had with their family, friends and community, and will do all we can to ensure those connections are kept.

In-house, we have an extensive activities programme that includes exercise, quiz sessions, newspaper readings, guest speakers and entertainers, and Happy Hour is a very popular event. There is great emphasis on outings, undertaken in comfortable Iona vans, with events ranging from concerts to garden visits.
