Taieri Court is among four Otago rest homes and hospitals, all owned and operated by Presbyterian Support Otago (PSO), that have been certified as being in the top 10 of the 716 rest homes in New Zealand.
Ross Home (Dunedin), Taieri Court (Mosgiel), Elmslie House (Wanaka) and Ranui (Alexandra) have been certified as worthy of the maximum four year certification period by the Ministry of Health, through independent auditor Health & Disability Auditing New Zealand (HDANZ). As at September 2010, they are the only Otago rest homes and hospitals to receive such recognition. The audit included reviews of policies and procedures, observation of how services were provided to residents, surveys of and meetings with residents and families, plus interviews with rest home management. PSO introduced the Valuing the Lives of Older People philosophy of care for residents some years ago, a level of service being practiced in a way the auditors found “fantastic”. “This is a well-deserved outcome for all your hard work and going 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. Like all our facilities, Taieri Court welcomes people of all backgrounds and cultures. Situated adjacent to Mosgiel's shopping centre, Taieri Court is renown for its quality care, a fact supported by it being granted four-year certification in 2009. Taieri Court has a 30 year, proud tradition of providing quality services and rooms are always in demand. Major refurbishment was undertaken in 2007 and the popular sheltered courtyard is a popular feature of the home. The staff does all it can to help residents and families experience a good transition to living at Taieri Court, and welcomes family input into creating the right ‘personal feel’ for their loved one. |

| Taieri Court is an integral part of Mosgiel and a highly sought-after home for older people seeking residential care.
The exceedingly high standard of meals is always commented on by residents and visitors alike, and the Taieri Court kitchen provides meals on wheels for the community. All Presbyterian Support Otago residences have a policy of valuing the lives of older people, and this is reflected in the many services and facilities offered. Taieri Court is purpose-built and maintained to a high level, and residents have plenty of room in which to enjoy the wide range of activities continually available to them. |

Maintaining regular social and community activity our individual residents had before moving to Taieri Court, 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.
