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, Holmdene has a Presbyterian foundation and welcomes people of all backgrounds and cultures. Holmdene is a integral part of the Balclutha community. Situated right in town, it is renown for its quality care, dedicated staff and wonderful food. Offering a wide range of services, Holmdene rest home and hospital rooms are always in demand, and has a long, proud tradition of providing quality services. The staff does all it can to help residents and families experience a good transition to living at Holmdene, and welcomes family input into creating the right ‘personal feel’ for their loved one. Holmdene also offers: Hospital care Our facility also offers these services: |

| Holmdene is an integral part of the Balclutha community 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, as is the high standard of care provided by a stable, dedicated staff. 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. Staffing levels in our hospitals are at the higher end for the sector, and a large percentage of caregivers have formal industry qualifications. A high level of physiotherapy input is also put in place, with a focus on maintaining or improving current mobility. Holmdene 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. Community Meals on Wheels are provided from Holmdene which is linked physically to the Clutha Health First hospital. |

Maintaining regular sporting and community activity our individual residents had before moving to Holmdene, 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.
