Kingswood Rest Homes in Matamata and Morrinsville are currently the only Rest Homes in the Matamata-Piako District specialising in the 24-hour care of people who have been assessed as requiring Stage 3 Dementia care.
In Matamata we offer a 25-bed specialist facility to care for people assessed with Stage 3 Dementia. We also offer respite beds, when beds are available, to those who need them. Our brand new Rest Home facility opened in November 2018, offers 16 private bedrooms, some with ensuite bathrooms, as well as an option of a premium room or suite.
In Morrinsville, we offer 28 Dementia beds in total, situated in two completely seperate buildings with their own grounds.
The first building can accomodate 12 people assessed with dementia in a beautifully restored villa, encorporating a new wing set in a mature, established garden.
The second Dementia wing is a newly established Men Only wing, which will accomodate men only. Renovations have just been completed to include a Men’s Shed, a Potting Shed, a Chicken Run and a Vege Garden, which will keep the blokes busy. Daily activities will be offered around our male Residents’ own particular interests and their past hobbies.
There is also a new, purpose-built building with 16 ensuite rooms, offering Rest Home level of care. There are lovely patios and gardens and a little café situated in the grounds for daily socialising. Assisted living is also available on our Morrinsville site and we can accomodate up to people in two serviced houses with meals supplied.
Both our Rest Homes, in Matamata and Morrinsville, have four years Certification from the Ministry of Health, which is the maximum certification which can be achieved.
